Diary Entry forParachute
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back - anthems for a seventeen year‐old girl Parachute é um filme tão bom,não sei como demorei tanto para ver ele! prendeu muito minha atenção do começo ao fim. Courtney Eaton e Thomas Mann dão um show de interpretação. Uma ótima estreia para Brittany Snow na direção de filmes; Bem produzido, humano e único. Com uma trilha sonora ótima,aliás. É tão bom encontrar filmes assim com qual é tão fácil se indentificar com a protagonista,riley eles nunca poderiam me fazer te odiar. Por fim,eu amei tudo,acho que é um dos meus filmes favoritos agora,aqueles comfort movie que só falta o comfort. Estou surpresa que fãs de normal people ainda não encontraram essa obra prima,ambos se assemelham muito,o que me fez gostar ainda mais desse filme. =)

Parachute
"I want to be okay...with me." Watching Parachute felt like someone cracked open my chest and let all the things I’d buried deep come to the surface. It mirrored feelings I’ve never quite been able to put into words—this constant, gnawing sense that my body didn’t belong to me. Like I was a puzzle piece that just never fit right, no matter how hard I tried. Ever since I was a kid, I hated what I saw in the mirror. I couldn't make peace with the way I kept growing and changing—but never into someone I wanted to be. The film made me think about all the years I spent looking at others, not really to understand them, but to judge myself. I went online searching for answers, and all I found were more ways to hate myself. I thought being rejected meant I deserved it—because I was chubby, because I was tall, because I wasn’t "right." My life became this exhausting cycle of starving, binging, and punishing myself. I’d build myself up only to tear it all down again, like it was some twisted ritual I was stuck in. And unlike Riley, I never had someone like Ethan. But I know what it’s like to cling to people, even if it’s just to feel seen for a moment. To feel safe, even if it’s temporary—To give me a reason to hold on when I couldn’t love myself. Because that kind of unconditional love? I never had it. Sometimes, I projected everything I hated about myself onto other people. I wanted to feel better than them, but it didn’t work. It just made the pain worse. Every time I looked in the mirror, I wanted to scream. I wore makeup not to feel pretty, but to punish myself. I turned my pain into some twisted form of beauty. And in that process, I ended up hurting the people around me too. I've felt so lost in my own body and mind that I don't even know who I am anymore. Even when people tried to help, to guide me, I felt like I had to do it on my own. And maybe I still do. But I’m hoping for a push—something, someday—that will lead me to peace. I don’t know if I’ll ever be free of this feeling, but I hope I will. I hope I’ll find happiness in who I am, someday. There’s a moment in Parachute that stuck with me. “I know I'm emotional, and sensitive and dramatic, and sometimes selfish, needy... Ethan used to tell me that I was the most self-aware person that he ever met. But I hurt a lot of people in the past few years. People I care about. Mostly myself. And I don't want to do that anymore.” That line—God, it hit. Because it’s me. And maybe it’s a lot of us. This movie didn’t just show a character struggling. It showed me. And for the first time in a long time, I felt seen. Maybe that’s the first step.
