  • Mr. Peanut Butter pushed me to start therapy! I’ve got some childhood trauma that made me see a lot of my dad in Bojack and from that childhood I developed a very toxically positive personality even to my own detriment.

    One of the reasons why i love the show is that every character has their own struggles, very human struggles, that are caused by things they carry with them. Toxic positivity, nihilism, trauma, people pleasing, shame, ego.

    I think the best life you can live is when you start to face the challenges or weights that you carry with you, and realize that there’s a beautiful you underneath it all just trying to make things better.

    I couldn’t stand the things that Bojack did, but a piece of me understood what he was going through, and thats why some moments were so hard to watch, but you keep watching because he keeps trying, and the people around him keep trying to do their best. And you hope the best for all of them. And that’s kinda life.

    If i could join the crowd and let you know that you’re on the right path considering therapy, i will! Regardless if you’ve felt this way for a long time, therapy would still be beneficial, and it shows your strength in the fact that your considering it as an option. The entire show i just wish Bojack gave therapy a long enough try. Its tough, it has to be, but its also transformative and beautiful.
