Baby steps on how to feel

 A couple of nights ago, I watched this movie entitled Kajillionaire starring Richard Jenkins and the ravishing Gina Rodriguez on Peacock. The movie had its comedic parts but overall, it is a thought-provoking movie in my opinion. You should watch the movie when you get a chance. Anyways, I'm going to express my feelings towards this movie without hopefully not spoiling the synopsis. There is a mother, daughter and a father who are low level criminals, but the daughter seems aloof from reality, her mind is just set on the low level crimes they do and nothing else until the character played by Gina Rodriguez steps into the low level criminal enterprise. As the daughter played by the ravishing Evan Rachel Wood connects more with Gina Rodriguez's character, the daughter opens up more. A parenting class helped the daughter open up and made her realize her parents didn't love her, they were just having her around as part of the crime team, not as a daughter. 

     When I was in college, I took a psychology class sophomore year  and I forgot the exact word for the description the trained professionals use to describe the daughter's situation. In my opinion, I think the daughter was suffering from not being held as a child and that led to her aloofness (maybe not externally but internally). The daughter just wanted to be LOVED and Gina Rodriguez's character did that and that relationship evolved into more of a friendship. WE CAN ALWAYS LEARN HOW TO BE LOVED and HOW TO LOVE, it might not be easy but with work and effort, it will be easier like anything else. 

I would love to see a sequel to this movie.

Life

Life is what you make it. I get down and out because of some situations in life but I know God has me and I will be victorious in all things. I also love inspiration. I love people who inspire me and I love to inspire other people. When this inspiration happens, it's a non stop cycle of inspiring and I love it so much. My former college I went to, Mercyhurst University slogan is carpe diem which means seize the day. Seizing the day is so essential if we want to fulfill an accomplish or meet a goal. Connecting and networking with people is also so essential in life because these networks will hopefully develop into long lasting friendships and partnerships. Last night I watched this film entitled Demolition and it was a very good film. The main character, Jake Gyllenhaal found a boy that eventually became his best friend. Life is very precious, take it day by day and you never know who you are going to meet along your journey.

Work hard and have faith

Image
I Last month my mother just sent my diploma to me via text.  I know this is a cliché but I had to endure blood, sweat and tears. Maybe not blood but you guys should understand the point I'm trying to make. I really worked hard for this piece of paper and I didn't do it by myself. God bestowed mercy and favor upon me during the two years I was there (I spent two years at a junior college, Mercyhurst University North East). I prayed to God each and every day to let me be diligent in my studies and let me graduate. God still is with me and He won't ever forsake me.!! I'm proud to mention God because He always comes through for me. I will continue to have God in my heart and on the tip of my tongue. I told you guys that I prayed but I also had faith and worked very hard. Having faith is so essential in these situations because you can't see faith, you just have to believe that God is going to work your situation out. Most times, He does but you have to be patient. T

Drake ft Popcaan- Please Forgive Me

When I watched this short film by Drake, I was highly impressed. If you haven't viewed the film, I have the link below. There are three parts of the film that I want to discuss with you guys. The first part I want to discuss with you guys is when Drake was at the diner and drinking coffee by himself thinking about life. This part  correlates to the part when he got into a car after a show in the beginning and he looked like he wasn't satisfied. I feel like he wants something more, other than money and fame. So I guess the definition of a "celebrity" is not what it seems. The saying is true then, that money can't buy you happiness. The next part is when he had those visions of those people disappearing and when the lady was crying. When people were disappearing that might've been  people in his life that died in the past or Drake had to cut them out of his life for good. For that lady who was crying, maybe that was a sign that everybody goes through something,
