I end up not making the entries I could because I worry too much about them making perfect sense and looking nice, so I want to just get this one out while it's fresh in my mind even if it's not the best writing.
It seems a lot of people cried at multiple points in Breaking Bad. And it seems the writers took into account the empathy of viewers and avoided making the show sadder than they could have at multiple points. And it seems the actors sometimes had a hard time doing their roles because a certain scene or other was too heavy, although none of this is real. Even in the show, people had reactions to things that I don't understand.
I don't understand why Marie or Walter Jr. reacted to the truth that way. I feel like if I was Marie I would've felt bad for Skyler, because the secret she had to bear for who-knows-how-long was surely hard, and I would've assumed she was purely a victim too. If I was Walter Jr. and my aunt and mother told me my dad is a drug lord, I would say "Oh. Wow. That's... that's crazy," and ask if I would be in trouble if/when he gets caught. After I'm told I'm good, I'd be like "Oh, okay. Cool. ...... So...." Maybe I'm kqueeng of not giving a shit, who knows. I definitely wouldn't have turned down that money if it was guaranteed I wouldn't be in trouble for using it.
This kind of situation, where other people react to things in such a way that I think they're overreacting, happens to me a lot. But if everyone else is acting the same way, I'm likely just underreacting. Sometimes I feel like there's a wall between me and my feelings, or like I wasn't ensouled at birth, but there are also times where I have an incredibly emotional reaction to some shit no one else is affected by, so it's more like my brain decides on a case-by-case basis whichever is more inappropriate and acts that way. Thanks brain.
Unrelated story time: A few years ago, although it feels like decades now, my sister graduated from high school. After the graduation we (mom, dad, me, sister, brother) got into the car -- kind of in a rush, because it was windy and unexpectedly cold for late May. No one said anything. My mom out of the blue said "No reactions? No crying? Hugging? Nothing?" and we three stared at her from the back blankly and did various shrugs. She laughed and said "Damn, I raised some cold-ass niggas," and shifted gears to take us straight home.
Well, I'll see you all later. ⭐
