Flipped
This movie was so cute. I loved seeing the way Bryce came around and was able to see Julie for the iridescent person she was.
It’s sad how much we judge each other based on appearance, behavior and our own insecurities. The Baker’s had an amazing family (perfect in its imperfection), while the Loski’s were just kind of miserable with their perfectly manicured front lawn.
Mr. Loski was so toxic. It makes you wonder where his life there might have been a turning point that made him such an ugly person. Would he be able to change, if he wanted to? Was he even aware of how horrible he was? At what prejudices and judgments he was passing? Or had he soured everything around him so much that no one was able to hold a mirror to his behavior. He kind of reminded me of K.
And I guess it’s kind of fitting with my own life. It’s not easy to do the right thing and I guess you may never be better off because of it. But no matter how hard you have to push through, it’s still the right thing to do. And that in itself is the blessing.
I don’t want to have a toxic core.
