the week where she watches movies again

she's going somewhere

hi divas! happy wednesday. it's time for another little update on a life nobody asked about.

so, this week, i decided to get back into watching movies. i figured it might be a nice little way to get my attention span back on track. lately, i've been spending way too much time scrolling through social media, jumping from one short video to another, to the point where sitting down and watching an entire movie somehow feels like a productive activity. it’s so sad, i know.

i miss the feeling of getting lost in a story, paying attention to little details, and actually letting my brain sit with something for more than thirty seconds. apparently, my brain has been spoiled by all those endless reels. a little embarrassing, if you ask me.

i've also decided to be more consistent with updating my letterboxd, unlike before when i'd only log a movie whenever i was in the mood or simply felt like it. my reviews aren't exactly serious film criticism though. they're mostly just random thoughts, little observations, or whatever happens to cross my mind while watching. it's more like a tiny diary than an actual movie review.

so, here's to rediscovering the joy of watching movies without feeling the urge to check my phone every five minutes. "a movie a day keeps insanity away" i’d say lol. see you at the next screening, divas!

having a job is cool but EVERYDAY???

sorry if this is a little TMI, but after being unemployed for a few months, i somehow ended up with a lot more time for myself. and honestly, it made me realize just how time-consuming having a job actually is😭

like, imagine spending 8–9 hours a day doing something for someone else??? 

what happens to our hobbies? when are we supposed to exercise? clean the house? sleep early? read those books that have been sitting untouched on the shelf? what about the movies on our watchlist???

i know there are plenty of adults out there who can make time for all of those things. but i don’t know, personally, i still find it really difficult to do that.

having all this time lately has made me appreciate the little things i can do when my days actually belong to me. and now i’m pretty sure about one thing: for my next job, i want to make sure it’s something i genuinely like. because if i’m going to give away eight hours of my day, it better be worth it lol.

xoxo,

the week where it finally rained

rain

she's going somewhere

hi divas!

it’s wednesday again, which means it’s time for another episode of she’s going somewhere.

and just like that, we’re already six episodes in. i wish i had some big, life changing news to share this week, but alas, the plot is moving at its own pace lol. so, let’s talk about a few small things that happened lately.

The Way She Wears It: Denim & Black Top

idk diva, but are we really being heard?

the week where she got big expectations

SHE'S GOING SOMEWHERE

it’s wednesday again, which means it’s time for another episode of she’s going somewhere.

you’ve probably heard olivia and chappell roan’s new duet by now. i’ve had it on repeat for the past few days, and honestly, i’m not even a huge fan of either of them. i mostly just know their popular songs. but damn, i can’t lie they ate.

i’m the kind of person who once i like a song, will listen to it over and over again until i eventually get sick of it. right now, that song is definitely on its way to becoming one of those songs.

it actually reminds me a little of what’s been happening with this blog lately. i’ve been spending so much time making little things for it, and somehow i keep getting more and more ideas. the more i work on it, the more i start expecting from it. not necessarily in a serious “i need this blog to become something huge” kind of way, but more like, okay, now that i’ve made this, what else can i do?
