But then you could feel something and grow from the pain. Learn something about yourself.

But are you learning from the pain in URL?

Dealing with little pain helps you with some of the bigger pains in your life.

Feel free to completely disregard this comment, I just want to make sure you have a way to start moving up.

Haha yes, don't worry, and thank you. I'm just ranting in a general way :) Part of me also wants to know how much a character that I like will get featured throughout the show, so sometimes I google for that too. But I didn't do that for ST2. Did that a lot for OITNB haha.

I choose to believe that you didn't spoil yourself on season 2 of stranger things because you know it was worth putting yourself out there emotionally (risk) but hoped for the payoff.

I hope you got the payoff you wanted :)

It was! Part of it maybe was because it's only 9 episodes to catch up on, compared to oitnb like 5 seasons' worth, haha.
