How Bones and All cured my relationship anxiety.
As a 25-year-old navigating through the complexities of life and love, I never expected a film to offer me the solace and understanding I desperately needed. But then (almost like destiny)I stumbled upon "Bones and All," a haunting yet beautiful tale that delves deep into the themes of cannibalism, violence, and ultimately, the intricacies of relationships and how effortless they really are. Little did I know, it would become the catalyst for curing my relationship anxiety and reshaping my perspective on love.
At its core, "Bones and All" follows the journey of Maren Yearly, a young woman grappling with her cannibalistic tendencies and searching for belonging. Her encounters with fellow "eaters" like Sully and the unexpected romance with Lee propel her on a cross-country odyssey, mirroring the unpredictable and often tumultuous nature of romantic relationships.
One of the most profound aspects of the film is its exploration of the parallels between cannibalism and the devouring nature of love. Just as Maren and her companions consume flesh, relationships have the potential to consume us, body and soul. The insatiable hunger for connection can lead to moments of intense vulnerability and, at times, destructive behavior.
Through Maren's tumultuous journey, I found myself confronting my own fears and insecurities about love. Like her, I've often felt like a monster, afraid that my desires and imperfections would drive others away. But as Maren discovers, acceptance and understanding can be found in the most unexpected places, even within the depths of our darkest impulses.

The relationship between Maren and Lee serves as a poignant reminder that love should never be rushed or forced. Their journey is fraught with challenges and uncertainties, yet it is precisely through these trials that their bond deepens and strengthens. In a society that glorifies instant connections and fairy tale endings, "Bones and All" offers a refreshing perspective on the slow, steady evolution of love.
As Maren grapples with her own identity and struggles to reconcile her desires with societal norms, I couldn't help but see reflections of my own journey. Like her, I've faced moments of rejection and self-doubt, unsure if I would ever find someone who truly understands me. But through Maren's resilience and courage, I've learned that love is not about conforming to expectations, but rather embracing our true selves and finding someone who loves us for who we are, bones and all.
In the end, "Bones and All" taught me that love is messy, complicated, and often frightening. But it is also beautiful, transformative, and worth fighting for. By embracing the darkness within ourselves and those we love, we can find the light that guides us through even the darkest of times.
So here's to embracing the complexities of love, to accepting ourselves and others with all our flaws and imperfections. And most importantly, here's to the journey—messy, unpredictable, and utterly breathtaking—that is love.

Cheers and happy belated new year to my friends, family, lover and those who tend to check me out from the shadowy depths of the internet! 😘 🍻 ✨️
2023 definitely had me in an emotional headlock but imma try and end 2024 in triumphant but awkward looking piledriver.💪🧨💅
P.S if we're ever in conversation and you see me getting all stiff with a strained look on my face , don't take it personally, just know I'm anxious as hell and probably want to vomit but I won't cause I'm a tough cookie 🥲👍🍪

“To me it is really important to live in what I call the space in-between. Bus stations, trains, taxis or waiting rooms in airports are the best places because you are open to destiny, you are open to everything and anything can happen.”
