A Film Review of "Wendy and Lucy"

You have to understand that no film will ever be better than Pride and Prejudice, the one with Keira Knightly. Now that is out of the way, let's review.

Honestly, I loved it. I loved that there was no bullshit Hollywood junk in it to make homelessness look glamorous. It was devastatingly tragic, you instantly fall in love with the main character, and you root for her.

I will not spoil it because you need to watch it, but the ending made me cry. Not a loud shoulder sob, but slow hot tears down my face. It shows the realness of what it is like to be homeless.

I really liked this line, I really do not remember the exact words, but basically the gist of it is "you can't get a job without a job. You can't get a home without a home."

That line really stung.

A line I absolutely despised came from the grocery store employee. After he caught Wendy shoplifting, he said to his boss, "if you can't afford dog food, don't have a dog."

Although I kind of understand where this person is coming from, this line did not sit with me well because you could see how much Wendy loved Lucy and how much we cared for that dog.

5/5 recommended. Now, don't go thinking it will be a cheesy rom com, or a predictive action thriller, because this movie definitely is not.

Everyone needs to go and watch it just so they can get into the minds of why some people are homeless, and how terrifying it would be to be a WOMAN and homeless.

That puts it on a different level if you ask me.

Go watch it and tell me if you liked it or not.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
