Noah Schnapp writes an extensive heartfelt message about Stranger Things
On Friday, Schnapp took to Instagram to contemplate the show's progression and its influence on the audience. He expressed his excitement about sharing this chapter with everyone. As the final week of Stranger Things approaches, he encouraged fans to truly appreciate it. He advised them to treasure these concluding moments, find solace in their beloved characters, discuss with friends, and revisit scenes together online. These experiences hold more significance than we often acknowledge, he noted.
Schnapp expressed his appreciation to the fans by saying, "I'm incredibly thankful for the family we've created here. I cherish you all as if you were my own dear friends and family. Seeing you build genuine friendships, encountering you unexpectedly in public or online, and experiencing your enthusiasm has been one of my greatest pleasures." He also recognized the emotional impact of the series on many viewers, stating, "Understanding how much this show has meant to those seeking connection, belonging, and a sense of acceptance is everything to me."
Emphasizing the core message of the show, Schnapp stated, “You will always have a spot with me and in this show, regardless of who you are. We love you just the way you are. If there's one takeaway from our show, it's that connection is what sustains us. The only way to genuinely connect is to allow others to see your true self and understand that you can be loved even more for it.”
He wrapped up his note with a statement on what he perceives as the show's genuine strength: 'True power isn't about telekinesis or impressive hand gestures (even though those can be quite awesome). It's about friendship, loyalty, and embracing yourself and others just as you are. Volume 2: Now Streaming.'
