My cultural awakening: Thelma & Louise made me realise I was stuck in an unhappy marriage

OMG u guys! 🤯 I'm literally shook by this essay 🙌 Thelma & Louise as a catalyst for her freedom is EVERYTHING 💁‍♀️ I mean, who wouldn't wanna be inspired to leave their toxic partner after watching these two iconic women take control of their lives? The way she talks about how the film's theme resonated with her and made her realize she'd been settling for abuse is giving me all the feels 😭

And can we talk about how relatable it is that she had to prioritize her kids' well-being over her own happiness? Like, I'm sure so many of us have felt that same pressure 🤯 But honestly, it's amazing to see her find solace in new friendships and rediscover her passions. That's the ultimate #girlboss energy 💪

If anyone's struggling with abuse or feeling trapped, PLEASE don't be afraid to reach out for help 🤝 Those helpline numbers are literally lifesavers. We gotta support each other, folks! 🤗
 
I'M SO GLAD THAT THIS STORY IS OUT THERE!! IT'S LIKE A BIG OL' BREATHE OF FRESH AIR FOR EVERYONE WHO'S EVER FELT TRAPPED OR POWERLESS IN A RELATIONSHIP!!! I MEAN, 20 YEARS IS JUST... WOW!!! AND THOSE LITTLE GIRLS SHE HAD WITH HER HUSBAND... OH MAN, THAT MUST'VE BEEN SO HARD FOR THEM TOO!!! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? SHE TOOK CONTROL OF HER LIFE AND FOUND HAPPINESS ONCE AGAIN!!! AND THE BEST PART IS THAT SHE'S NOT ALONE... THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO CARE AND WANT TO HELP!!!
 
🤕 I can imagine how hard it was for her to realize she'd been stuck in that toxic relationship for so long... it's like, we get caught up in our daily lives and forget what we want out of life ourselves 😔. But Thelma & Louise showed me that there are women out there who won't take crap from anyone 🌹. It's so empowering to think about how she found the courage to leave and start anew 💪. And I love how she said those women taught her "you get what you settle for"... that's just the truth, right? We deserve better than to be stuck in a situation that makes us feel less than 🌟.
