Sometimes you think that you'll never be anything great because what you wish you were is already someone or something else, and you can’t explain it, but it feels weirdly good. I guess it takes the pressure off somehow and that allows for experimentation and failure, and all of those things that make people people. This movie is that for me, I think. I’m nothing. It’s everything. I love it.

The main character in this movie wants to be an artist, someone creative who expresses himself freely. But the responsibility and the world around him make him wear a mask, hiding who he really is sometimes, I also feel like I’m wearing a mask, pretending to be someone I’m not, just to fit in. It's a great movie, i usually can't watch something again becoz i already know the plot but this movie i did watch couple of times.

I love this movie so much. i love being from LA and the colors really capture what the city means to me. i also find comfort in being ok with things not working out how you hope they do. powering through and being able to move on is beautiful and so is reminiscing on past relationships/friendships

This seems like a silly answer but this movie is all about grief and change and chosen family and how to do hard things and how to be brave when it all feels too big to fathom. youll laugh cry and feel a little more connected to humans and shells with human problems by the end

In this day and age of societal teenage-like anguish and ‘core’ frenzies, I have a confession : Locking in is a social construct i will never partake in, if only because there’s never been anything wrong with a little bit of silliness.
…So I want everything to be fun and a good time and somedays i feel like the world is a tilted stage on which i’m asked to dance? And if then I cry and cry and whine and I take a day off to journal about it? Sue me!
Lately I came to the realisation that I come from generations and generations of fucking losers who took a long time to figure out what they wanted in life and then weren't all that good at pursuing it. I’m not saying that I want to be lazy about my goals and aspirations — by familial standards i’m actually quite far advanced in this regard, but I will say loud and proud that I’m more than okay with a speck of emotional turmoil and doubt, if it means I can get a day off crying in my room and writing about it while sipping a glass of shitty red wine.
—That‘s how good art starts anyway.

So, okay. I’m a sucker for trains. I think they are nice and comfy, and Switzerland, where I currently study and live, is said to have one of the best train systems in the world so it’s basically law to like this particular mean of transportation over there... but even then, when I used to live in Paris, there was something about the subway that made it so very often relaxing to me— even during (the evil and ever so obnoxious) PFW.
So, to all of those who cannot see it and refuse to catch a vibe, here’s a little breakdown on what makes train rides so goddamn cool and how to make them better if you still think they suck after all this.
PROOF THAT TAKING THE TRAIN IS COOL
- First of all, I don’t want to brag, but the SNCF (Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français, France’s very own messy-ass train company) sends you a yearly breakdown of the CO2 you save by taking the train instead of driving everywhere like a dumb dumb. (Yes, I do not have my driver’s licence yet. No, I am not bitter about it at all). And let me tell you, if Katy Perry et al. took a train to space instead of riding J*ff B*zos’ d*ck, maybe we’d have had a chance surviving climate change. For one, I did my part by figuratively crossing the country a whole lottatimes in breaststroke (I am aware this is not the most accurate way to calculate length but I’ll happily treat it as fact). So, yeah, fuck you Blue Origins.
- Second and maybe the most important point : Do you even know how much time you can save by doing things you really need to do in the train??? Do you????
I am not even kidding, this is the perfect way to multitask if you’re a college student or a WFH type of lad. Train rides can be boring, sure I’ll concede. But bring a good book you’ve been trying to read but didn’t have the time to or your computer and you’re set for the next X hours you would otherwise be spending trying not to fall asleep at the wheel of your shitty 2014 Fiat 500 (again I’m not bitter just ecologically aware...ish).
- Last point: landscapes. Few are the places where you get to see so much whilst doing so little for it. It’s like hiking for lazy people. Love it.
SO YOU ARE A HEATHEN— AND REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT TRAIN RIDES? HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO MAKE YOURS MORE FUN!
- A good playlist : can and will make almost anything 1000 times better. Here’s mine if you‘re too busy being so cool driving your cool person car (NOT. BITTER.) to make your own train mixtape and enjoy the ride.
- Crosswords : chances are, if you’re in the train, there’s an old person in your immediate vicinity. Ask them to help you out on the hard words instead of checking the answer sheet at the back of the book. Then, if (and only if!) they match your vibe, ask them their life story. You‘ll get reheated, well-infused tea AND a heightened sense of self for not checking out the answer sheet. You‘re welcome.
-Last but not least, and my favourite game to play ever, find the hottest person on the train : If there’s one, congrats! You can now ogle away and make up stories about your life together after they inevitably catch your gaze, ‘coz let’s face it, if you thought you were discrete you were anything but (Trains are smaller than you’d think and there’s not so many people that you wouldn’t recognise them when you inevitably take the same bus home afterwards. If you noticed them, they probably noticed you back at some point). If there’s no hot people on your train— congrats as well! It means it’s probably you. Boom, free dopamine boost. Go on with your day feeling like sex-on-rails.
To conclude, we should all fuck with trains. Except when there‘s a tuna sandwich involved in any way, shape or form. Fuck you if you are a tuna in the train person.

I hear too many words in my every day life. I say too many words in my every day life. I work with words, actually. I’m a word-worker. Lately, I’ve been trying to use fewer of ’em to express more things. So, here is it.
No lyrics = more feelings.
I don’t know how to explain it better than this in so little words.
