Every so often, the conversation over bad reviews, negative takes, talking about movies we hate, etc. comes up. There seems to be two schools of thought on this, although I think (as with most things on the internet) that most of us are more open to a nuanced conversation but that we get in our own way because social media has driven us all a … Continue reading My Take on Negative Takes

Something I have discussed a lot on this blog is my struggles with setting a routine/schedule. I am easily thrown off either by getting distracted, mental health hiccups, Ben’s odd schedule, and working around that, etc. In the past, I have attempted stringent schedules with each hour blocked out. That never works for me. I have slowly started to work on a balance between how … Continue reading New Routine

Over the years of running this blog (and writing for other sites), people may have noticed a certain slant that I have towards the horror genre, at least in terms of movies. It is my most frequently watched genre, one that I love a great deal, and one that I even have written creatively in. I thought I would take a moment during this October … Continue reading Why Horror

I have been sharing pictures and a few thoughts from my recent trip, but I haven’t really slowed down to write about the experience itself and what it did for me. Honestly, the trip was great for me. I came home feeling better mentally and emotionally. It is no secret that I have been feeling stressed and depressed for years now, and it has been … Continue reading Trips I’d Like to Take

However, when there is something I am really excited for, we will try to make it work, Us being an example. Still, we were not able to … Continue reading Thoughts: Going to the Movies

Every once in a while I will get into a mood and start watching (and rewatching) a lot of Project Runway. I have an odd history with fashion. It’s not something I have ever loved, but I appreciate and like it. I like watching the process (with shows), and I love following fashionable people on social media and seeing how they create looks. I am … Continue reading Thoughts: Fashion

So this might seem like a bit of an odd topic for me to blog about, especially considering how open I have been about my desire to be a more positive person. I want to make it clear that I think striving to be more positive is a good thing. We are, in general, fairly negative people. We spend more time talking about the things … Continue reading The Trouble with Positivity

There are certain pros and cons to working from home. One of the biggest cons is actually related to many little cons; it’s that you can develop and stick with bad habits. It’s easy to throw yourself off, not having a routine, welcome distractions, little things that over time build up to massive problems. I have been thinking a lot about my habits with working … Continue reading Working from Home and Habits
