I think about love on a scale from 1 to 10. Most of us find a 6 or 7, and thatβs why we have divorce. Itβs the truth. We settle for that 6 or 7. But I like to think Kevin is Chironβs 10. Heβs found that and he realizes that thereβs no reason to settle for a 6 or a 7 because, βI know this person is my 10. Whether or not this person believes Iβm his 10, Iβm going to devote my life to this person entirely.β Thatβs why the line where he says, βYouβre the only man thatβs ever touched me,βΒ for me, was the most amazing, most beautiful thing Iβve seen in cinema, period. Because thatβs what we strive for as people, to find that one person because theyβre there. If Kevin doesnβt feel that they should be together, Chiron is just going to die a miserable person because thatβs his person and he wonβt settle for anything else. But I like to think theyβre together, walking in Central Park hand-in-hand when theyβre 90 years old. - Trevante Rhodes

βSuicidal feelings are not the same as giving up on life. Suicidal feelings often express a powerful and overwhelming need for a different life. Suicidal feelings can mean, in a desperate and unyielding way, a demand for something new. Listen to someone who is suicidal and you often hear a need for change so important, so indispensable, that they would rather die than go on living without the change. And when the person feels powerless to make that change happen, they become suicidal. Help comes when the person identifies the change they want and starts to believe it can actually happen. Whether it is overcoming an impossible family situation, making a career or study change, standing up to an oppressor, gaining relief from chronic physical pain, igniting creative inspiration, feeling less alone, or beginning to value their self worth, at the root of suicidal feelings is often powerlessness to change your life β not giving up on life itself.β
