I admired her commitment to her work and willingness to keep trying, even if only as a smoke screen. I empathized with her delayed awakenings in human connection, her constant daydreaming. I was relived to see the version of her we get in the end, fully actualized and moving forward, ambiguity still front and center.
Moderate: Grief
Minor: Addiction, Racial slurs, and Death of parent

All you have to do is watch a child ride her bike directly into a brick wall or jump from the tallest branch of sycamore tree to know that we humans are reckless with our bodies, reckless with our lives, for no other reason than that we want to know what would happen, what it might feel like to brush up against death, to run right up to the edge of our lives, which is, in some ways, to live fully.
