So, I recently watched “I saw the TV glow” and unsurprisingly all the stories about people having the cry of their life do not come out of nowhere. I never was someone who would cry that easily over a movie (although this is starting to change with HRT), but this movie literally send me into quite a solid cry. It wasn’t really caused by the film being that sad, but from me realising how insanely accurate it displayed my personal experience. The harm that was caused by me suppressing my feelings and their constant fight to break free. Being invisible to others, etc. That shit brought up quite a lot of stuff that I have already worked through, but when all of it gets brought up at the same time, it does get quite overwhelming.
I will 100% rewatch it, since I did not understand a lot of the subtle signs, that were integrated into the film, at first glance.


Oh, so you went through with it… I couldn’t stop sobbing for the second half.

What’s been killing me were the moments Owen was so close to cracking, but then got scared at the last moment. It’s been devastating, but at the same time relieving to know, that’s not me, not anymore at least.
