Who Needs Drugs When You Can Just Watch The 2001 Baz Luhrmann Film Moulin Rouge

to me willow rosenberg is the epitome of a character who's used to thinking of herself as kind and good because she's always been percieved that way by other people, but when other people say "kind and good" what they really mean is "competent yet unassertive." which isn't really a moral value, it's just the kind of personality that makes authority figures like you. so she's in the precarious position of believing herself to be a Good Person while having never really felt the need to develop a moral backbone. and this is of course the main reason why she's a little fucked up sometimes. i love this about her, to be clear.

a souvenir of grief and pain is strength and understanding and compassion for others. good things to carry.

also, i keep having to remind myself to have the same grace in myself as i do for others. here is my reminder for the day. be gentle.
