i wish we’d seen an intense, emotional heart-to-heart between joyce and jonathan about lonnie’s abuse, joyce’s anxiety about will, and how all of it impacted jonathan.

i wish we got a scene where mike let himself be vulnerable with joyce. a scene where he needs a mom because he’s just a kid, but he’s been so busy worrying about his own for awhile now. lately, he’s just trying to make sure she’s recovering properly even with everything going on. so, joyce steps in as another mom to him and he ultimately finds himself opening up about how much will means to him.

i wish we saw joyce run into karen at the hospital, totally horrified by her injuries but pushing that pain aside to tell her that she knows what it’s like to have a child go missing and to comfort her.

i wish we had at least one scene where joyce mentioned knowing henry in high school, when he was just this awkward kid who joined the play she directed. i wish she talked to someone about how emotionally complicated it was for her to kill him with all those terrible memories starting from something so soft and vulnerable and seemingly ordinary from her childhood.

today & every other day, i hope you remember it’s okay not to have it all figured out. no one has it all under control, it’s an illusion!!! many of us are scared, tired and still trying to heal from things we’ve never told anyone. it’s ok to be messy and open and vulnerable and authentic. the only thing that matters is being true to your journey and not sinking into comparison over other people’s curated lives on social media. you’re ok!! you’re doing enough!!! you’re good, pal!!
