I had a lot of the same thoughts as Asya growing up, and I came up with a lot of the rationalizations she had to deal with those thoughts. So as she got more and more unhinged in her thinking, it felt like watching myself spiraling.
As a result, though, the ending made me cry so, so hard.
It's painful, but to me it was a good kind of pain. The writing, the themes, and the ultimate message it seems to have... It made me feel seen and spoken to.
