Surface Pressure That Just Won't Stop
Disney Has Changed The Way They Make Me Cry As a child, I cried over the death of Bambi's mom. I hyperventilated in fear as a 5-year-old watching Snow White for the first time, and she ran screaming through the dark forest after the huntsmen tried to take her heart. I cried when the curse was broken for the Beast and he discovered love. When Dumbo was abused and mistreated and separated from his mother I sobbed. I forced myself to watch it until the end (I am a childhood abuse survivor, this movie was very triggering for me in a lot of ways) and found relief in the ending. But I refuse ever to watch it again - and I haven't shown my daughters that movie OR Pinocchio. I know those movies would trigger me to this day.

I Cried Watching Inside Out 2
As someone who has struggled with mental health her entire life, both Inside Out 1 and 2 made me cry. In the sequel, I–like probably entire generations–related deeply to how letting anxiety run the show may seem like a good idea at first but can quickly spiral into panic attacks.

Susanna Kaysen, Susanna Kaysen? Checks! Girl, Interrupted?
Flashback. Nuns at Catholic Daycare in Habits. Grape juice and crackers. Even Catholic kids are selfish and mean. Flashback. I pissed my pants. I couldn't kick the big red ball at kickball. I don't know anyone's name.

Things I learnt from my recent setbacks
Things I learnt from my recent setbacks How I wish life were filled with glory and love, tales of how we succeed in every aspect of our life, emerging victorious in battles filled with animosity and sadness. Every mortal being experiences seasons of rise and fall, of light and dark, of pain and purpose, and defeat and victory.

Exploration of the psychological underpinnings of Dark Empaths
Getting Through the Dark: Narcissists vs. Dark Empaths: Understanding, Identifying, and Liberating I have always been fascinated and intrigued by the limitless potential humans hold, which propels us on the path of progression. The odyssey of transforming primitiveness into a touch of modernism is the beauty of the prowess of the human mind. In the vast and complex tapestry that constitutes human relationships, the delicate interplay between these contrasting forces often presents itself as an enigma. Have you ever experienced the captivating yet perplexing dynamics between light and shadow, empathy and narcissism? Within this intricate landscape, dark empaths and narcissists stand out as compelling and enigmatic figures, each characterized by a distinct array of traits and behaviours. On the other hand, susceptible people (HSP), recognized for their deep emotional awareness and sensitivity to the feelings of others, often find themselves traversing the challenging terrain of relationships with these fascinating, yet sometimes troubling, personalities. This journey can be both enlightening and bewildering, as HSPs strive to understand and navigate the emotional landscapes shaped by the contrasting influences of empathy and narcissism.

Why are we so dependent on subtitles? . AI-Generated.
I'm a total movie and TV buff! I watch stuff everywhere - on the train, at home, at the cinema, while working out, doing dishes, even in the bath! But no matter where I'm watching, I always find myself doing one thing... (dramatic pause) ...using subtitles! I know, I know, it's a horror! But honestly, I just can't help it. I love having that extra bit of help to make sure I catch every word. And let's be real, sometimes it's just nice to have a little extra reading material while you're watching. So, yeah, I'm a subtitle user and I'm not ashamed to admit it!

Ruth Finley: Villainess or Victim?
Kudos, once again, to Lifetime, as they delivered an amazing retelling of a captivating true crime story. This was a story that I knew nothing about until I learned about the movie, and it was a couple of weeks prior to the movie's airdate that I did my homework on Ruth Finley's story, and it's because of what I learned that I was even more excited for this film than I already was. There's another reason, but that will be mentioned later.
