"I'm not Peter, he's Peter"

- Alfred Thomas Highmore, pointing at Johnny Depp


i don't think there's a more poignant scene than that in the whole of Finding Neverland because it is so happifying, initially, that an adult who refused to grow up would be able to fashion a character based on his own life but chose to give it away to another person so that no one would be able to find out about the truth but that's just how the way it is in the movie. wikipedia said that Peter Llewelyn-Davies grew to resent J.M.Barrie for his fame and subsequently committed suicide because of it and there's a certain sort of sadness to it, because the boy who was never supposed to grow up did, and died that way.

tomorrow i move to a flat with no wardrobes nor beds, but let's hope that the internet exists there, so it's goodbye to caux for now, goodbye to the lakes and the frenchy people and goodbye to everything i brought forth from singapore, it's finally time to leave everything behind.
