Review of A Place Further Than The Universe

A Place Further Than the Universe: Spoiler Free review. I was sixteen nine years ago. I met my best friend that year. Discovered my favorite band that year. Earned an honorary award in fine arts that year. But I also was in a bad relationship. My grades weren't great, and my relationship with my mother was at it's worst. I had no goals, no dreams, no ambitions. Except for one. I didn't want to waste my youth. It's funny how this question is never answered the same twice. What do you worry about when you're young? What do the elderly wishthey could get back. Asking both my father and my younger sister what they want more than anything, my father answered, "I really liked going to Canada in my twenties with my friends, before they all joined the army" and my sister responded "I'm scared I'll get old and forget what being young was like". This pattern we are all in. This endless loop can act like a chain. One day we wake up and we aren't sixteen we are twenty-four, working at a pawn shop to pay rent cause living alone is expensive. We try not to complain but it's hard. Especially for those of us less driven, or rather, less sure.

I watched this show in one day. It was not a roller coaster. There were no ups and downs. There was no back and forth. There was only forward. There was only four powerful young women taking a chance. Making a risk their daily chore. They make it look easy, but they never miss the chance to say that it's hard. Because it is. It is hard to know what you want. It's hard to know what comes next. This is a show you watch all the way through, with no breaks, preferably by yourself. This is a show with a lesson. A necessary one:

All anybody wants, no matter where they are from, no matter their background, race, religion, gender or upbringing wants, is for more time. More time to love and be loved. And though we may be low on time, I can say without a doubt, this show was worth all of mine.
