I actually have a pretty simple answer as to why I am so sad that tedbecca didn't happen in the show:
Rebecca was treated so badly in the past and wasn't loved enough.
Ted always has so much love to give that he was told he is too much.
They both crave what the other can and want to give so very easily. They complete each other perfectly - in every way - they are soulmates! So why can't they just be their mutual happy ending? They deserved it..
No one talks about how when you're disabled you start to feel like a waste of space. I can't do anything of value without being in pain. I don't contribute anything. The only thing I can do is speak and even then I can't do that well so what am I good for?
i don't want to have a romantic relationship for at least 7 years from now yet but by god sometimes i want someone to kiss me and hug me and gift me chocolate and to sing together maybe and for them to also adore me and
it's really sad if you think about it, that we're able to connect with people on the other side of the world, because then one day you find someone online whom you just know you'd get really well along irl but then, you have no actual chance of meeting face to face, and all is left is to grieve a friend you could have had but didn't had a chance.
False memory is such a funny thing, the way our brain can just make up shit and make it feel like it truly actually happened.
All week I've had such vivid memories of my mom playing with my dog and fuzzing about in my house, and over and over again I've had to actively remind myself that she has been dead for longer than those things came into my life, she never met my dog, she never saw my house, and yet these memories feel so... real.
I walk by her urn every day, and still can hardly remember what it looks like unless I'm looking straight at it, but the image of my mother playing with a pup she never met, and walking around a home she never lived in, is clear, vivid and perfect in my mind.
