Wellness Wednesday: The Boys
The Boys finale just ended and we need to debrief. No major spoilers but that show spent five seasons showing us exactly what unprocessed trauma, unchecked rage, and zero emotional support actually looks like in action.
- Homelander didn't become that way in a vacuum.
- Butcher's anger had an origin story.
- Hughie spent seasons carrying grief he never fully dealt with.
- And Kimiko? Grief so heavy she couldn't function until she stopped trying to force the rage and leaned into her heart instead.
That's not just good TV. That's real life. Anger will carry you for a while, but it's connection, love, and actually letting people in that gets you through.
The lesson? Ignoring your mental health doesn't make it go away. It just makes it louder. And eventually it laser-eyes someone.
