“Now go on, live.”
That got me teary! Maybe because Mrs. Elm had passed away in the "perfect" life universe. Flaws exist in even the perfect-looking life. I think it brings awareness to the people around us, who may look happy, but what do we actually see? Celebrities, entertainers, and people around us experience it, looking for happiness, but what is happiness?
The way Nora experienced different careers and pathways that she could have been in, shows that we can't have everything, nor can all of them satisfy us. I still love philosophy Nor though! And Molly was adorable. I love the analogy and relationship to the chess that Nora and Mrs. Elm played at the end.
Be kind. Just be kind. You never know what people are going through.
