I Am A Cinephile And Here's Why

Movies are the best.

I LOVE MOVIES. Sometimes I daydream about going home, getting into comfy clothes and streaming a good movie. Who doesn't love a good movie? When someone tells me that they don't watch movies for fun, I just look at them like they're crazy.

When I was little I grew up not having WiFi or cable. But, I did have a VCR and a DVD player, and of course, hundreds of movies. So what my brother and I would do is watch movies all the day. My mom was a huge movie goer so she would show us and take us to the movies all the time. Going to the movies was a treat for my family, and if we couldn't go we would rent movies from Blockbuster. Yes, our town still had a Blockbusters but up until 2018. We even had a Hollywood Video. Give a shout out if you know what I mean. My family and I watched so many movies that we could recite and quote them. It wasn't until 2017 that my mom finally got cable and internet with a stable subscription to Netflix. This opened so many doors!

Now, every weekend me and my boyfriend look forward to watching movies or going to the movie theatres. Watching movies or even TV shows is a great way to just relax apart from the real world. You see different perspectives and new viewpoints from directors and their art form. Movies have some of the best stories and quotes ever. There is something so captivating about a story. Movies bring out the binging animals in us, especially with TV shows.

Movies can make you cry, scared, anxious, excited, heartfelt- pretty much any emotion ever! Movies and film bring people together and make movements. The 2017 year had amazing movies and I still have yet to see all of them!

Don't think that I'm a hermit crab. I love going outdoors and spending time with people. But what is also great is watching a movie together and having whole conversation on that crazy ending!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
