this is so so good wow!! you’re such a beautiful writer, but most importantly, you bring a sense of comfort and ease. and i probs should watch this film- i’ve been spending a lot of time recently grappling with the fact that i know i belong in the countryside but all my family live in/around london. so idk where my future is. anyways loved this!!!! ❣️❣️❣️

" you forget that this takes place outside of you, and therefore does not signal deficiency or insufficiency in you" how lovely, this letter is a warm, tight hug. i love how soft but strong your writing feels.

this was very heartwarming to read! i've been meaning to watch films like the one you talk about here. do you have any similar recommendations?

thankyou! yes, so i'd recommend this one and then i also mentioned 'a gentle breeze in the village', 'bread of happiness' and 'mio on the shore' - i've also heard that the kdramas 'when the weather is fine', 'something in the rain', 'reply 1988', 'hometown cha cha cha' and 'one spring night' are quite healing :-)

also if you haven't yet, the studio ghibli animated films are so lovely!! my favourites are 'whisper of the heart', 'ponyo', 'kikis delivery service', 'only yesterday' and 'spirited away' :)
