a support system



“People are screwed up in this world. I'd rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode.” A line from It's Kind of A Funny Story, reminds me of Bruce Springsteen's "People with something eating at them are much more interesting than those who are merely content." from a book I've been trying to write about.

I don't remember much about the movie except that it is about a kid who is depressed and on his pre-suicidal phase decides to turn himself into a psych ward. He is depressed but couldn't tell why because he knows his problems are actually less dramatic than what people might expect. But still, he's depressed. Other than that, it's a lighthearted sometimes funny movie that's enjoyable to watch.

Most important lesson is that we all need a support system. Sometimes above all things what we need is just one person who understands.
