I absolutely adore how the series ended. It felt real. It felt nostalgic. It felt like how a lot of ppl have described growing pains. It gave all that: the questions of: what is this, how am I supposed to deal with this, what does this mean, is this is really how it is now and for how long?
The film asks the same questions we have asked when life suddenly takes a different turn than you saw coming and you're kind of forced to face the unpleasant feeling of the thought: what now?
The film doesn't tell us how things are gonna go. It isn't afraid to show how much the changes can hurt, how much/little power you have on the changes and how they affect a person. None of us can really know the effects so Nick and Charlie don't know that either. They are left with dealing with their own feelings, alone, confused, scared. We've all been there.
They've been growing up with each other with the knowledge that whenever either of them are struggling with anything at all they can always call/text each other for comfort. Until the day they can't. What does one do then? It's all very personal how stuff comes to us, when and for how long.
And also how the cards we've each been given to us help us through the tough times. Sometimes they do come in the form of a friend group that pulls you out of the bed to eat pasta and switch your light back on.
Sometimes, even if your friends try to reach out to you, you can't help but feel unable to reach back at them, either bc you're scared they wouldn't get it or bc you don't want to be a burden, so you decide not to open yourself up to them. Maybe it feels easier for you, trying to deal stuff alone. Maybe it makes things worse but you still don't feel like you can grab the hand trying to help you.
Either way, the emotions you feel are your own and no-one else can solve them but you. Ppl can give support and tools to solve the issues but you need to work them out yourself.
The film teaches and reminds us that life really doesn't always go like we planned. But maybe that's okay. Maybe we can get through it and end up on the other side in one piece, stronger than the version we were before.
Maybe, even if it didn't feel like it at one point, we truly will be fine, at the end. ππβ¨
