I’m not sure why, but when I saw this in the theater and this scene played out, hearing all the sniffling and nose blowing from everyone else in the theater was oddly beautiful and comforting. There is so much empathy and kindness out there

I think we all cry at the “You get to exhale now” line because (almost) every LGBT teen needed to hear that. I sure did.
@christelr.6515
What is it about when she says “you get to exhale now” that just destroyed us all? All these years later and i still tear up every time.

If Jennifer Garner never again does anything else significant in her life, it will not matter, because she will always and forever be credited for this scene. Thank God she insisted that this scene be included in the movie "Love, Simon" when it was not originally planned to be. It is literally the emotional heart of the movie around which all other moments pivot. This scene has affected and helped millions of people. It is the response all gay people want to hear, but many or most do not get to. This dialogue and her performance have healing powers. Millions of us have been given strength through them. And that is a legacy for which Jennifer should be very proud. 🙂❤️👍🥰🏳️🌈

When I first watched this I cried my eyes out at this scene, and then I'd come back to it every week or so Just to hear it

Every line spoken here resonated soooo much with me. From the moment his mom spoke about him being carefree as a kid, I immediately remembered how carefree I used to be as a kid, and how troubled I had been since teenage years. When she says you are still you, but now you get to be more you than you have been in a very long time, you get to exhale, I felt hope back again in my life. Because of the environment I was raised in, I had build up this idea that no matter how hard I worked, my life was doomed. Saying you deserve everything you want, was all I needed to hear. THANK YOU sooo much to the makers of this scene. You have no idea what this scene means to me. This is the movie that made me accept this part of me and give homosexuality a chance. Seeing Simon find love at the end of the movie made me realise I wanted just that. This is the first gay movie I saw that had a happy ending, and that I could have a happy ending too in my life, that I could still live a wonderful life. Thanks you soo much makers of love Simon !!! Thank you !!!

"You get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in....in a very long time." After accepting my autism in September 2023, those 2 sentences hit me HARD.

Jennifer Garner really said: Follow my lead. It’s my moment now. 5 years already. This scene still in my mind.
@Skinniest_Kween
Jennifer CARRIED 😭👏✨ I still think about this scene every once in a while and I just have to revisit it. Amazing.
@archiecraven6086
I’m a 52 year old man who ugly cried watching this even though I have accepting parents. Put Jennifer Garner up there with Olivia Colman and Uma Thurman in the Accepting Mothers category. That being said - if anyone out there has parents who don’t accept you, I’ll be your dad. Know that you deserve everything you want out of life.
@jimzilla1701
The "Exhale" line is so powerful.

“You get to exhale now….” 😭😭😭
@kitsch.mp3
i just want to hear this from my parents omg
@androcus1
Simon so very much needed to hear this. His world had pretty much fallen apart after he was outed. The tenderness, love and acceptance that his mom gave him was very much needed by Simon!!
@veepl8967
Never fully appreciated how good she is.
@justineves3588
This is one of the very best parts of love Simon and I wish more parents were like that in real life
@Felix96xy
When i came out, I did it with a letter. My Mom wrote me one back. We had a wordless understanding. It was never a problem. We still loved each other and talked about it as if it was natural.
