The words of a writer are the most powerful, and "Film for Her" is no exception.

I admire those who have power with their words. Orion Carloto is a poet who does just that.

It has been a while since I have let myself read a book, as I rarely have time to read anything that is not a textbook.

I wanted to get back in the route of being able to indulge in the words of others and find a connection within it all.

I recently purchased "Film For Her" by Orion Carloto from my local Barnes and Noble. I put it away quickly. Although I have not had the opportunity to read "Flux," I was intrigued by this specific release and decided to wait until 2021 to read it.

Orion Carloto invites readers to remember the forgotten and reach into the past, find comfort in the present, and make sense of the intangible future.

After reading "Film for Her," I could not help but want to take and romanticize the small things in my life and continue to find joy in the seemingly uneventful moments.

The film Carloto includes is one reason why this book has such power.

Now, I am not one to judge the quality or level of professionalism of the pictures. Regardless, it has made me appreciate the photos that infiltrate the space in my phone. To put it simply, I am in awe of the photos Carloto chooses to include and how a snapshot can hold memories.

I have been glad to begin the year with such a moving book, and this is one that I will keep within arm's reach.

Carloto was able to write for herself while giving the power of feeling to others. Being able to have an insight into her life was a pleasure to experience behind the pages.

I plan to go into 2021 by acknowledging the past year and getting ready for this year.

I am motivated to give more time to create more memories with those I care about and continue to learn. I could have easily read Carloto's book when I purchased it, but I had a feeling that I wanted to wait and see what this piece of text could bring me. I am glad to have waited.

I endlessly ponder about opportunities and the future to the point where I lose sight of the present. Now, I want to focus on what I have now.

What I ultimately got out of reading this beautifully crafted book was the importance of "now." I now know how precious the moments we are currently having in life are.

Get "Film for Her" on Amazon.

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.
