After watching this absolutely haunting and gripping portrayal of Dickens' famous work, I must read it.
Because I loved young Pip.
Because I couldn't stand that young adult Pip; I want to see through Dickens' own words that character development and see inside him more.
Because it made me want to be kinder.
Because it made me want to heal; to let go of any hurts and find more happiness.
Because it made me want to be closer to family.
And because it made me want to strongly encourage people with mental illness to get appropriate medication. Yikes.
