Louder for those in the back 👏

Don't try to be the person who you or anyone else thinks you are 'supposed to be'. Just do your best at being who you actually are. #bekindtoyourself #healingjourney #wholesomememes https://www.instagram.com/raistlinsghost/p/CXEEodtrl6f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Maybe this explains why I like them so much myself.

When I was little I used to be afraid of storms. I guess now I like them because it’s nice to see something that displays how I feel on the inside and can’t explain.

Very long showers.

What do you do on Endgame Eve? You eat junk food and you re-watch Infinity War for like the 30th time, that's what. #avengersendgame #mykidisthecoolest #notamcdonaldsad https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwp3ARdBuIHUN3u8JC_fY88ka9vMB4WG5KT03U0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h3hff8an6rz7

Well look at what I found. Could have used this on game night.

We often see what we want to see, and we all have our own inherent bias and pattern recognition. That said, I went in cold turkey to the movie Thunderbolts* when my daughter and I went to see it recently. I didn't watch any trailers, avoided spoilers, etc.

And what I saw was me.

Here's My Short Spoiler-Free Review:

I was not at all expecting the amount of depth the story has

There are some very authentic-feeling portrayals of living with mental illness

It was fucking awesome

And My Slightly Longer And Still Not Very Spoilery Review:

As a person who lives with mental illness, I got to see A LOT of what I feel, have felt, have experienced reflected in a certain character's own experiences. And their journey isn’t just an inclusivity checkmark; it’s the core of the movie. I think a lot of people will see themselves reflected here, and by not explicitly stating this character’s diagnosis, they allow the story to include anyone who lives with mental illness, addictions, trauma.

And all of the thoughtful and nuanced handling of mental health notwithstanding, this is just a great movie all around. You should go see it.
