"Who's here for self improvement? ... See, that's your first mistake; you should be here to learn self-acceptance."
"Self-hatred, guilt. It accomplishes nothing. It just stands in the way (of) true change."
I won't go into unnecessary personal details, but I needed this episode, right here, right now. I suppose I have a character limit to meet, so here goes a little story about why this episode means so much to me.
I started watching Breaking Bad about two weeks ago to fill a void in my life that was growing by the day. This is unusual because I hardly watch TV shows at all. After entering that low point, I knew that I needed something to clear my mind. Based on glowing reviews and friend recommendations, I decided that I might as well give it a shot. What could I lose? I was immediately hooked, watching episodes per day, sometimes upwards of five or six! Then I began to become busier and more overwhelmed by, well, everything. I felt like I needed the numbness more than ever, to completely escape reality. Then I hear the quotes that began this review. Again, I will spare the personal details, but I needed that so badly. This review does no justice to the impact "No Más" just had for my outlook on life.
I suppose all of this goes to say, "you never know what might change somebody's life" or "sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you've found it." Those match how I'm feeling now.
