This could probably be the most heartbreaking line ever written:

I waited and you never came...

They kept their backs to the new beds, brimming with red asters, their green stalks bending gently in the summer breeze, their red petals the colour of blood.

Well, gentles and ladymen, here we are. The end of 2022 and the tally on films and series watched this year is 210, which I'd say is not at all shabby. Out of those 210, 162 were things I watched for the first time including some that have become very dear to me.

If I were to do a "Top 10 films I discovered this year", I think these might be the ones (in no particular order):

1. "Kolleksjonen" (1963) - Pål Løkkeberg:

2. "The Disappearance" (1977) - Stuart Cooper:

3. "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1990) - Jean-Paul Rappeneau:

4. "Tenue de Soirée" (1986) - Bertrand Blier:

5. "Babettes gæstebud" (1987) - Gabriel Axel:

6. "Käre John" (1964) - Lars-Magnus Lindgren:

7. "The Devils" (1971) - Ken Russell:

8. "Women in Love" (1969) - Ken Russell:

9. "The Cassandra Crossing" (1976) - George P. Cosmatos:

10. "The Trap" (1966) - Sidney Hayers:

Excerpts:

Post Mark January 3rd 2022

I know you don't think much of him now but in the coming months you will fall deeply and madly in love with him. 

You will re-imagine your world with him in it and it will be full of magic. You will see yourself as The Empress, The Lovers, The Queen of Cups.

…sunflowers grow through the clouds with a touch of your fingertips- as though you can make a hurt child safe  again with the sound of your voice.

…But that is the spring

…you will let him take the spring with him.

…maybe it can exist beyond him.

…Maybe the first impressions weren't the misconception.

Perhaps you found yourself in his loving eyes— and it is your fight now to preserve that beyond new perceptions.

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.
