Klara and the Sun.

I don’t know what to think nor what to feel. It evoked emotions I haven’t felt in a while and I feel so helpless. I wish I was there in a way, to just be there for Klara. I get it I really do with how it ended but she deserves better. I can’t really think clearly now.

The slow fade into the horizon Klara. Go gentle into that goodnight.

You knew what you were doing.

“I refuse to accept this world has become so cruel”.

Same buddy, same.

“I’m just not like a show, okay? I can’t sparkle and entertain all day”.

That’s something I’ve learned over time. Knowing when not to ask is as equally as important as knowing when to ask.

I have anticipated the revelation but it was still quite sad. Pretty fuckin sad. The looming dread.

There’s something about Klara’s innocence that I pity. I guess it’s her ignorance to it all. Her optimism at times feels like she’s lying to herself.

But that’s the thing about hope. Damn thing never leaves you alone.

You can tear down a fence. Then put up another somewhere else. A land of fences is so temporary. Hedges give a sense of history properly set down in the land.

Helen knows what she saw.

Hanky panky.

Melania the housekeeper is really funny.

I have noticed "The Mother" can be cold and distant at times. Klara recognises that the blades of grass are easier to distinguish when she is closer to them than when viewed from the bedroom. This shift marks a movement from observation to participation (looking to living?). Klara begins to partake in the world rather than merely observe it, making a concerted effort toward what it means to be human.
