All The Bright Places

This is one of those movies that seem dark from the very beginning, like you know something is coming. I mean we find out pretty early that Elle Fanning's (Violet) sister died and so she is obviously sad and in pain. And Finch finds her in a precarious position and decides that he can help. And that is how this relationship starts. However that saying about helping yourself before you can help others comes to mind watching this. Turns out that while Violet was definitely in a position where distraction was important, Finch wasn't really mentally healthy himself. So when she started draining his emotional well he reacted poorly. This show is supposed to be a teenage romance story but it turns out to be more of a show about teenage mental health to me. However I am very focused on mental health right now because I am also not mentally or emotionally healthy. But I also liked it because their whole thing is going around and finding weird things that make their state cool. I am all about exploring those weirder sides. I hate the popular places! Also they find this little rollercoaster that some guy made just for fun. I would love something like that (As long as it's slow enough that it wouldn't really get hurt or die.) There are a lot of aspects of this show that I really liked. One of them is the characters but I also liked the filmography and the story line of 2 people finding each other at the right time for both of them. I'm loosely looking for that but I also know that I'm not ready right now anyway so that's why I say loosely. But I feel like timing is everything and I really don't believe that people have to stay in our lives forever. I have an issue with friends leaving me or not being as close once they have kids and part of me hates that because I miss my friends but at the same time I've found that I get more attached to their kids then them and when they inevitably move on I am left watching their kids grow up on instagram. I find it so tragic but I know that it's going to happen. I know my parents have similar friendships. Ha moral is, timing is everything.

The Hating Game

Lucy Hale is enough to sell this movie to me. But it was really good anyway. A little predictable but that's not surprising for a rom com. The fun thing about this movie is that it really has a real rivalry. And takes place in publishing. Is publishing that big of a deal? There seem to be a lot of movies and TV shows around publishing. But it's about this small, cute, sweet book publisher who merges with a bigger, stiffer, more capitalist book publisher. And then the teams war against each other. So a lot of it is about the work rivalry but it is also about Lucy and Austin Stowell and how they interact together. It's cute. I would totally watch it if I were you.

You

TV show Psychological thriller if there ever was one! Penn Badgley plays the perfect insane character! He's got this look that just scares the crap out of me! The main girl is amazing too but she's nothing compared to Penn. Shay Mitchell is also one of my favorite people from her Pretty Little Liars days. She also plays her character well and I love her. The story has enough real life to make it believable but also enough crazy to well make it crazy. This isn't going to be a long post because only season 1 is on Netflix so there is only 10 episodes but I think they're still going because IMDB has 2 seasons and they left it open. So I will wait patiently for the next installment because I like Penn anyway but this is a new level for him.

Baby is real

I think I felt the baby move. It was very trippy. But very cool as well. We also found out recently that it's a girl. I'm having a baby girl. Now that I'm showing and feeling it and can shop for it, it all seems more real. This isn't going to be a long post because there isn't a lot to say. I'm really not doing much but growing a human is enough for me I guess. So we've started shopping. We have a crib, a bassinet and some artwork for the nursery. Also we just have a bunch of cute clothes. Not anything real big although she's going to be born in winter. The next step is a carseat stroller combo. Any suggestions? Basically I want just a bunch of black or grey onsies for her easy clothes and then sweats and leggings to wear over them.
