Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) dir. Dan Kwan & Daniel Scheinert

When I choose to see the good side of things, I’m not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It’s how I’ve learned to survive through everything. I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one too. This is how I fight.

It’s like that movie.

I am no longer willing to do to my daughter what you did to me. How did you let me go? How on earth did you do it so easily? It’s okay if you can’t be proud of me. Because I finally am. You may see in her all of your greatest fears squeezed into one person. I spent most of her childhood praying she would not end up like me. But she turned out to be stubborn, aimless, a mess. Just like her mother. But now I see it’s okay that she’s a mess. Because just like me the universe gave her someone kind, patient, and forgiving to make up for all she lacks.

The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind. Especially when we don’t know what’s going on.
