I'm bad at keeping a journal lol.
To be honest, my life has pretty much trained me out of the habit. I learned very young that my diary would always end up being read and small things like respect or privacy weren't going to stop anyone so I stopped writing one.
But I do want to continue writing one. Simply for the reason that maybe, 15 years in the future, the me of then will want to look back and reminisce about my life and then I will have somewhere to go and read about the me of now.
(hey, future aithere, if you're reading this, Hi!!!. Also, how are we doing?)
I did some other stuff while I wasn't writing here.
Rewatched some movies. Imo, the Maze Runner Trilogy holds up really well even now. Sure, it's not exactly as good as the books but I really like the sense of unease of just pure panic & survival
that the movies throw you headfirst into. I bawled my eyes out when Newt died in the end. Then I stayed up for hours reading fanfiction of that not happening just so I could recover.
All in all, a pretty impactful series.
I also watched a new movie. Went with a friend to catch Final Destination: Bloodlines.
Let me tell you, I was spooked by the end of it. The filmmakers were really good at their jobs. Now, I'm in no way a proper film critic or a serious commentator. I have
very lax opinions about the movies I see. If I find them even remotely interesting: hey thats great!. If not, I just stop watching.
There was a lot of gore? I think in the movie. For me, atleast. I don't enjoy gore at all so I was kinda freaked out by it but I did like the psychological horror part of the movie.
It keeps you invested in the character's struggle for survival, a struggle inherently built into our DNA and makes us watch as they fail. Amazing.
Oh! annddd I also finished making my very own portfolio website yesterday!!!
Now, this is a HUGE deal for me. and I say that because I have been trying to build my own for literal YEARS and I could never.
My perfectionistic urges always told me it was too ugly, too childish, too unrefined. So I could never complete it. But I did it!!!
I can't share the link here unfortunately, it would defeat the purpose of anonymity but I'm very proud of myself. I fought out my thoughts and its a website I think I can be proud of. Much like this one.
So yeah! That's all thats happened with me over the last few days. This entry was just a life report lmao. But I'm gonna try and write more. I have something I've been going over in my head the past couple of days.
