Truly when someone tries to deny your experiences it's so pointless to argue and try and "prove" your life or feelings like we gotta learn to say okay and walk right out of there more often

Giving other people the power over ourselves is so common and so scarily easy and as someone who's done it my whole life and was hoping eventually I'd be able to control other people reaction to me vs spending more time learning how to be okay with having my feelings be denied and being able to withstand that discomfort is so much more important

God will never fail you God sees your heart I know you're in the dark, but... It's a part of life Things will get better

Half of becoming a functional adult after a traumatized childhood is literally just believing your own emotions judgement and opinions

Otherwise you will be emotionally stuck every time you need to make literally any decision

Philippians 4:6-7 NLT 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 5:6-7 NLT 6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Another reason I respect Sinners is how Pearline is treated.

She is a married woman that sleeps with Sammy, when she dances and sings she does it in a seductive/sexy way but she is never treated or viewed as a negative figure. She isn’t a whore, or a slut, and she isn’t viewed as a temptation to Sammy.

In fact, the only part of the movie where you are supposed to disagree or (maybe) dislike Pearline is when she doesn’t want to eat the garlic. The movie makes us grieve her when she is killed.

Any other horror movie would have given her a brutal death, it would have been “deserved”.

Instead, Sinners goes out of its way to show that she is a human being, and despite her sins we love her. Decades after she is killed, Sammy names his bar after her despite knowing her for one day. The movie honors her.
