Took a mental health day today and went to watch Blue Valentine on a whim. I loved it. It was both emotionally devastating and beautifully honest, exposing the raw realities of “romantic love.” The sublime soundtrack by Grizzly Bear made it even more intimate and nostalgic for me.
It was my first time going to a movie theatre alone and I’ve gotta say it was a most tranquil experience (except during the sad sex scenes where I tried to muffle my cries while these stupid phony bitches giggled in the row behind me.) Other than that, I wanted two hours of perfect solitude in darkness where I could at least temporarily escape from the whirled, and I got it. Definitely going to do it more often.
