Rewatching Girls and while yes they are all insufferable they are also soooo real! Full of contradictions and wants and needs and ugh it’s just so good. Shoshanna and Jessa 🔛🔝
She gets it. “All adventurous women do”?? and dancing your troubles away in your room? The coke episode? ”Maybe I don’t want to be happy?” The pressure of success in creative fields and parents that don’t get it. Like yeah. Everyone watch Girls rn.
I grew up in Williamsburg/Greenpoint how could I NOT relate …. I have always thought I was a mix of Marnie and Shosh but now I fear I might just be full Hannah. Soundtrack hits, cast is stacked, and Lena is the voice of my generation. Now that I’m away from home this keeps me connected to my roots.
The episode where Jessa goes and visits her dad. Having that iconic confrontation with him. Then she just ends up leaving Hannah at her dads. Yeah that one, what got me where these lines:
“You have no idea, do you?”
“What do I have no idea about?”
“What?”
“Of how much time I’ve spent waiting for you”
“Of how much shit I’ve taken
Because you never taught me how to do anything else”.
