A Quick COVID-19 Note
Just because I’m not posting much about COVID-19, doesn’t mean that I’m not holding those who have suffered & died in my heart.
Life Goals
All I really want in life is to become a genuinely good, nice, kind, caring, productive person.
Slow On The Uptake
We’re all living beings trying to figure out how to live better, but we’re not all capable of the same things or moving at the same pace and we never, EVER will be, so we have to let that dream die already.

Thoughts About The Horror Genre
I remember feeling very uncomfortable watching The Ring for the first time w/ all the girls in my grade who were laughing when something messed up happened.
