I've been rewatching bojack horseman for the past couple of weeks and I cant bring myself to finish season 3. Whenever I try to watch I think about sarah lynn and what she couldve been. The episode is emotionally exhausting but I just dont want to stop. I love sarah lynn, I relate to her aspects a lot and seeing her slipping away every minute of the episode every time shattered something I saw in myself. Its like Im rewatching the episode again to see if sarah lynn didnt die this time and got sober again. I think s3 ep11 broke me.
Sarah Lynn is never going to get sober, but you and me, we have a choice every day to stay sober and choose life. I know it’s hard. And I know fixating on a show like BJH can be easier than thinking about our dead friends in real life or ourselves because I do that. But the truth is we gotta live our best lives for all of those people we lost, including Sarah Lynn
You're right, unlike sarah lynn we have a choice and I can change for the better. I've been sober for 24 days and counting, Im proud of myself for getting this far. But sometimes I still see myself in sarah lynn, my old crumpled self that made everyone hurt because the world hurted her. Even though its hard, I still show up everyday for myself and for the people who couldnt.
Congrats on 24 keep at it, proud of you, it really gets better, I’m at 20 years and life is so good.
I know how you feel she deserved more her whole life
Yeah, that’s what makes it hurt so much. She never really got a chance, just different versions of the same mess.
That's rough.... I've definitely broken down over episodes I relate to, like really lost my shit. That's a rough episode for anyone to watch, but it hits differently when it speaks to a part of you. No advice here, just sending you hugs, OP. 💜
I always have to take a pause at “That’s too much, man” too, it’s difficult to bring myself to watch it and still makes me cry almost every time
