Happy Friday! 😉
if we live our lives looking to the past, we’ll never be able to move forward, to our future together. What is it?
I thought when Alice said that line is was extremely relevant to what Neal and Emma are experiencing. Especially Emma. They are both caught up with their past, and are too afraid to look forward. Neal was literially stuck in the past and present in Neverland. And when he got to our world he was a loner. Emma also still needs some time to work on that, because we all know Emma’s walls are strong, and her habit is to shut down and hide, not being able to move on from past hurts. This prevents her from moving forward with her life as we’ve seen her constantly running until she got to Storybrook and started to find herself. My hope is that both Neal and Emma find that lesson in each other.
I agree! I’ve gotten major SF feels from WL the last two weeks and I feel like that’s intentionally being done. Their stories are kind of running parallel to each other but Alice & Cyrus are a few steps ahead of where Emma & Neal are right now. Hopefully Emma & Neal are able to find some peace about their pasts and then whenever they finally see each other again (not really a spoiler…we all know it has to happen at some point!), they’re both at points where they’re ready to move forward together and heal their hurts while enjoying the (what will probably be rare) happy moments together between all the drama & disasters. 😀
