We spend our lives putting together a puzzle called 'Who Am I,' only to realize that the pieces keep changing shape

Everybody talks about cutting ppl off but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision knowing it’s not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being.

this. this. this. this smile is so important to me everytime i watch it. i think we all sighed with relief with charlie when we saw this. we didn't want another Ben even tho nick would never(and I've read the novels but still). this frame extinguished my anxiety, my insecurity. nick can't contain his smile he's literally trying not to break out blushing and giggling and shit. he likes him he's confused but he knows he doesn't want to distance himself from charlie.
i think this is such an important topic when it comes to acceptance or the idea of "I'm still the same person" when someone's exploring their sexuality. they still maintain their proximity as they used to when they were just friends but now they're more. now there are stolen glances and smiles and secrets and fireworks. there's a change in their relationship. there's a reason romantic and platonic relationships aren't same. they overlap sure but there are differences that you can't fulfil with the other. i like to think of this scene as an embodiment of "i have changed but in a way that just makes me more me" this beginning stage of their transition to a relationship from a friendship is just so perfect. it's awkward and cute and heartwarming. change isn't always bad change can be growth.
yes, maybe i did read too much into it but this is more of a projection on a show that has a sizable impact on me. so let me have this :)

This moment at school after their first kiss. Charlie walking down the corridor and standing still just for two seconds behind the door in anticipation of seeing Nick. Nick smiling at Charlie while he's walking towards their desk and looking at him while he's taking off his bag and coat. They exchange the usual "Hi!" giggling at each other. It's just so pure, I keep rewatching it again and again
