i have till 40
can't believe we are still here. with a title like that. sure, i'm not quite there yet but it's still such a revelation to see. this journal was started when i was in highschool. it's mind-boggling. i've never stopped dreaming, i've kept these eyes starry always looking at the future.
2008 to 2023. is that 15 years? my gosh.
my god
the writer's block is real. no one will understand, it's a lifetime curse but the AI story may be my opus. no magnum, lol
and old man and the sea,
this journal will be all that's left of me.
there we go, get the rhythm going.
oh my gosh, speaking of rhythm...my goodness, the ending of "Succession." My gosh, how they killed my boy Kendall. My number one boy. I may have never identified with a character more in my life than I did with that mother fucker. I am so glad I lived long enough to experience that story and lack-of-arc. Kendall Roy. My number one boy.
Of course, he was always doomed to fail. What the writer's did so masterfully was to give our main character, "main character" syndrome. That will always be my take from this series. I was rooting so hard for the guy, the whole time. Even when he was taking zombie-orders from his father in season2, I really believed he was gonna come out of that stupor. The season2 finale was one of the greatest moments of television I have experienced.
unfortunately, he gets devastated in the ending and so did I. It was unbelievable what happened right on the cusp of the vote...and my father turned to me and said, "it's just for tension, for suspense, they're drawing it out..." because we both genuinely believed this was Kendall's destiny. But upon reflecting, it's obvious to see his demeanor upon entering the office earlier that day as grating on Shiv and her annoyance at his little victory lap very well may have contributed to her decision in that moment.
That's the beauty of the show; because so much is understated, we can interpret many different conclusions.
