My life is a movie

Since I started going to therapy (and probably even before then, but not consciously), I have been using a very effective metaphor to describe the recurrent, uncontrollable, and sudden change in perspective in my life. Sometimes, briefly yet not too rarely, I see my life as a movie of which I am the main character. Whatever happens, good or bad, it makes up for the plot—cit. Alice Bleasdale. It is part of the story, part of the game. Tragedies occur, joyful moments arrive, and it is how life works. Living life as if it was a movie does not have to imply taking it lightly or not being enraged by what is wrong with the world (or hating billionaires, or destroying fascists), it is about contextualising it. It is about shining the right light on it. Exactly as a movie, it needs the right cinematography. It cannot be too dark, otherwise you understand nothing, like in any Game of Thrones battle. It cannot be smarmellato or it becomes cheesy and fake. https://youtu.be/4cc9jyFMD5Q…
