Brideshead Revisited. If the Royal Wedding showed me how I wanted to marry, BH showed me how I wanted to live and love. In soft golds and yellows, romantically, longingly, with a boy who looked like Anthony Edwards in places as described by Evelyn Waugh.
Like watching the wedding, viewing the 11-part series took me away. I escaped inside the story of love between these two men.
In my reality, I struggled to figure out my life. What should I do to take care of myself? What career did I want to have? Should I finish my college education?
How would I pay my rent and buy groceries? Fears, concerns, and insecurities that kept me awake at night.Lost inside the warm bubble the show created, I forgot myself.
