big little lies masquerades as a show about the cattiness of upper class women in their literal glass mansions and quickly reveals it’s self as a show about the nuances of domestic violence, the intricacies of surviving rape and sexual abuse, the importance of supportive female relationships, overcoming emotional abuse, women standing up to protect other women, and i’m just beside myself it is so VALIDATING to see that kind of content on HBO a channel infamous for shows that abuse rape and kill women like it’s in style. i am so here for women protecting each other, women standing up to abusers, women overcoming their differences and treating each other like sisters.
tl;dr big little lies breathed life back into my archaic cynical soul and women helping women is the most important thing in the whole damn world.
there’s a lot of days where I question my purpose and why we do the things we do. i know others feel the same way but its so hard to express what that feelings is. i think when you’re in love, purpose becomes a bit easier to swallow and digest. idk, thinking out loud
