Where to Watch My Own Private Idaho
- maddiechismSeptember 28, 2025this made me think about my childhood. about how i can never go back there. how my mom isnt there waiting for me. the house isnt yellow anymore, the grass isnt overgrown, its mowed and ugly with all the life taken out. the secret corner in the storage building outside i used to pretend in isnt sacred and full of dreams anymore. i still remember all the roads, but my mom isnt there waiting for me. heartbreaking, beautiful movie.
