When Morning Comes, I Feel Empty

It's okay, you're exactly where you need to be in this moment

I've never watched something so relatable for the life you have when you're 25 and lost, but still fighting, you just don't know towards what and this may exasperate you and haunt you each day.
It felt static on the surface and you'd probably have to be in a specific place or have lived through it for it to touch the right points. For me, it felt so incredibly enchanting in its simplicity and turmoil.
While ending on a presumably high note, not in the way that everything is happy (and let's be honest probably IRL the romantic interest would turn bad/disappointing), but just with this warm reassurance that at least what was to be discarded was finally said and got out of the heart, it got me in tears.
The moment of confession, tackled and on the back of the tongue for the whole movie, at each meeting with the friend, was so raw, simple and hit close to home that my tears started rolling out, right when Haruka's character looked into the camera and said those encouraging words that I think so many people of my age need to be told so badly in these harsh times we live in.

Oh, I need a physical hug after this, but I still feel much lighter than before I watched it.
