I can see why people like this movie, but I just couldn't enjoy it. I got the humour and the message, but it made me extremely cringy and uncomfortable the entire time, especially knowing the cause of Robin Williams's death.

Apart from this, it was an interesting aspect, taking into consideration how suicide affects other people, and how sometimes a lie can help people heal, because they can relate to somebody's pain. Is it worth though, creating this fake impression of a person nobody really knew, just to be able to deliver a message. And how selfless or selfish the intentions really were?

I did enjoy this short that showed us things from Emmy and Cyrus's POV's after the events of the last book. I liked that Cyrus has finally met his match in Emmy and that they're now together.

Pica still made me smile like an idiot despite her actions now being a little on the more deadly side of things.

And Willa's personality still showed through despite her not being the lead in this one. It was quite fun to read her from the perspective of others.

Off to read Pain, the last book in the series.

"This is a record I've just fallen in love with. I've known Miles Davis and some Charles Mingus before, but this is something else. I was given it as a present, and I've just been captivated by it. It's so packed with emotion, and it takes you to all these different places in love: struggle, pain, joy, transcendence, chaos and calm. 

It also feels so complete in the story it tells musically. And to have this whole new musical adventure now, to be thrown into this other world, in this music I never listened to when I was younger, is really exciting."

This could be a song by George Harrison because the lyrics are that good and the voice is that humble. The string section is the lake that we float upon and the acoustic guitar is the boat that carries us across. And always with the voice just behind your shoulder. It's not a whisper, it's not a shout.

As the song progresses it approaches a sort of poetic ecstasy that flowers and fades and after there is much to discuss:

“Yeah and pain is your teacher now
You’ll make it through somehow
Do all you can to find the light”
