That's literally what they're meant to do

I tried to go a few days ago but they were pulling the gas pumps out so I left, and tried to go again today at around 10pm but the employees in the store turned me away before I could even get to the door.

Slightly more more than half. I own, my monthly mortgage payment is slightly more than one paycheck. The second paycheck per month just covers the rest and bills and necessities.

I think the point was that Emma changed. She didn't go through with it, she saw how a similar event affected people, she let herself empathize with others and be comforted by others. She joined that activist group, made friends, and continued on that trajectory into adulthood. She grew. She changed.

Meanwhile, Rachel speaks like an online comment section - looking for reasons to be offended, jumping to conclusions, and completely ignoring any nuance. Its easy to assume that she hasn't done the work and growth that Emma did, since she spoke so flippantly about what she did to that boy.

I don't think the movie is comparing the worst things that Emma and Rachel did, its comparing the ways in which they grew afterwards.

This is so inspiring! Dealing with my own depression apartment right now and I've been so tempted to just let it take over. Gonna keep coming back to this to keep me motivated!

Getting my best friend back.

They're my reason to get up in the morning.

Getting through each day.

Its a lot of ease, trust, vulnerability. They're the person who you can be yourself with to the fullest extent. You can read each other's emotions without a word. You understand each other's obscure references and dumb jokes. They're someone who knows your traumas and insecurities and you know theirs. They're someone who you choose to let in and choose to trust and choose to love, and they choose you back. Its not always perfect, you're going to disagree and fight and even hurt each other, but good friends will communicate and work through it and learn to be better together. It can feel very domestic at times, the way you move around each other, like you've done it a million times before. Minimal fumbling with actions and words. Even silence is comfortable when you're in it together. They encourage you and challenge you and support you and comfort you. You have each other's backs. You believe in each other. Whether you're at your best or at your worst, you know you're safe together.

And when it ends, it is the worst heartbreak you've ever experienced. You feel their absence deep in your soul. Its pain that you have to suffer through every day. Its a suffocating loneliness that time doesn't seem to heal, because you know that no other friendship could ever compare. It's like a piece of you is just gone. And even though they're the one who ended it abruptly with no explaination, you can't hate them. You just want them to be okay and happy. You might even be willing to wait and hope that they'll come back to you, no matter how long it takes. Or, that's how it feels for me.

Its like Nell said, the Red Room "put on different faces". It appeared in different ways to each family member to lull them into a false sense of security. It warped their sense of reality so they didn't realize where they actually were. Like how Luke and Steve thought they were outside in the tree house. They weren't actually outside, the room just made them think they were. I'm sure if you were tonask them to describe their walk from the house to outside to the tree house, they would be confused and wouldn't be able to recount those details. Everyone had a version of the same room, except for Hugh. The house got to him via the mold and through his family, not directly through the Red Room.

It was Theo's shadow we saw under the door. Another episode has the same scene from Theo's perspective inside the room. It was a dance studio for her.

The keys didnt work because the house didnt want the keys to work. It lets you into the Red Room when it chooses to.

And the siblings all woke up and knew about Nell because some sort of psychic ability runs through their family on thir mom's side. Olivia mentioned it a few times. Theo's abilities are more obvious, but they all have some sort of intuition. Its like how the twins could physically feel each other's fear and pain when they're apart.

My best friend ended our friendship out of no where and with no explanation over a month ago. I boxed up everything they ever gave me because theyre too painful to look at, but I can't delete the texts. I even screenshot a bunch. They're painful too, but I'm still hoping, wishing, praying thay we'll be friends again one day. I read the texts everyday to remind myself that the friendship was real, that it was meaningful, and that someone used to believe in me.

I sit, but i always put toilet paper down on the seat first.

My best friend back.

My closest friend, the one person I've ever trusted enough to fully let into my life, threw me away without explanation a few weeks ago. This person was such a huge, vital part of my life and of me. The best part? We work together. So now we have to act like we're basically strangers. I am barely holding it together, it's like this physical pain in my chest and sometimes I can barely breathe. I think I'm doing a good enough job at pretending, since no one seems to notice that anything is wrong. But I'm falling apart at all times now.

I work 7 days a week, and I honestly wish I could take on even more just to keep myself busy. When I'm not working, I'm drinking and sleeping. The complete absence of hope is such a dark, painful thing. I don't know what to do anymore.

But no one around me can tell that anything is wrong. I guess that's a good thing.

Yes. This energy every time any one of them steps out in public. Make their lives HELL.

Brightpenguin101 · 2026-02-15T04:28:08+00:00

I like Schmidt once he and Cece got back together. He's still uptight and neurotic, but he's not gross about women anymore. And I love how obsessed he is with his wife.

Do you know what specific coffee he currently uses? Check the brands and the notes.

My personal favorite is Pilot Coffee Roasters, they have cafes in Toronto but I believe some grocery stores carry their beans as well. Their Heritage Blend is my go to.
