Hi Siobhan, I"m so glad I've re-found you. No idea why Substack unsubscribed me from your posts - I thought you'd stopped posting! It's so horrible when people drop us, isn't it? And not to know why. I'm writing a piece about films for my Substack this Sunday - but ohhh, those ones that don't end properly that are supposed to be 'clever'. I think the director just didn't know how to end the film!

Oh that's so weird they unsubscribed you! Quite funny though that it would have been another painful unexplained ending for me if you hadn't realised and resubscribed 🤣 And that same thought had occurred to me re the film director not knowing how to finish it. It is the perfect cop out 😄 Thank you for resubscribing! ❤️

Ghosting is so strange and so modern. I'm not sure how to explain it. Very happy to have resubscribed!

I saw that movie! And exactly the same thing — NO! — Jumped up from my chair stunned then pissed! Don't remember the title or anything else, but do remember going to bed thinking about those lovely, interesting people and imagining what happened to them. Making up my own ending — or new beginning for them, which I suppose was the intent of the director.

A rather elaborate writer's prompt!

Love the headband!

I love your positive take on the ending and I do think it was really brave on the part of the writer / director. I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to try it though 🤣 I hope your writing retreat is going well ❤️

I continue to be amazed because of personal synchronicities in what you share . Your writings so down to earth relatable. I finished yesterday boiling up with something or other, I wasn't sure what, so perplexed, confused.

Woke up equally hot and confused, so reflected, meditated. Yippee insight!!! feeling nowhere near as hot and bothered after reframing and hence tying up a few loose end of my own.

Thankyou.

Thankyou for the inspiration

I'm so glad for the synchronicities and that my posts help. Reframing can be such a powerful tool. Have a lovely peaceful Sunday ❤️
