@treeahduhcee WELP, here we are again.

everything everywhere all at once is about intergenerational trauma. about depression and passive suicidality and the gravitational appeal of nothingness. about aging, getting older in your twenties and getting older in your fifties. about the specific hurt mothers can cause their daughters and daughters their mothers. about the harsh reality of the immigrant experience and the american dream. but it’s mostly about kindness and family and it’s about choosing to sit at home talking about taxes with someone who loves you, and it’s about telling your daughter that you’d choose her over the entire universe, and it’s about how even in the universes where life didn’t form, love can still exist. and it’s really all of that at once.

For some of us, just the act of admitting that we want love, that we yearn to be loved and aren't the cynical beings we purport to be - that is an act of bravery.

I think aspiring to make yourself fully vulnerable in the act of loving someone, in a world that is constantly tell you how risky and ill-fated that is, is one of the more courageous feats of our lives.
