I'm not the most sophisticated adult out there. I'm also not the best at communicating all the time, but I do try my best to get my thoughts out there into the world verbally or nonverbally.

Experience While Hosting a CMV
After partaking in a collaborative project known as a Cosplay Music Video (CMV, for short) for a fandom I am in, I briefly mentioned the idea of hosting a collaborative CMV for a different song. A friend/fellow cosplayer of mine exchanged some ideas for what other cosplayers should do for it (such as whether or not to lip sync the song in question) and getting a reminder that the host of the initial CMV we participated in that they edited like an amateur as well. I figured it wouldn't hurt to actually reach out to some fellow cosplayers and give it a try to put the project together.

"Sorry" Is Not What We Meant To Say, but "We Quit" Is
Roman's POV Okay, first off, let me just say that that quote I've seen about blowing out someone's candle not making your own candle burn brighter rings true, regarding what I went through and, though my current job still has its ups and downs, I don't regret all I've done to get to where I am now.

"One Small Voice" Review
While watching the movie Elmopalooza with my little sister, I cannot help but partially think of it as revisiting some songs from my earlier youth. Several minutes after I debate on whether I should feel ashamed for liking the Jimmy Buffett version of "Caribbean Amphibian" as much as I do, I feel pride as I am reintroduced to the song that is the subject of this article: the Kenny Loggins version of "One Small Voice."

Celebrities and Mental Health
When somebody grows in fame or relevancy in a certain field, it's not really a secret that a clean image would be a good tool for keeping a fan base or a career. There are some paths they have to avoid going down, or there are some skeletons in their closets that they would rather not bring up. Out of all the skeletons in their closets, why is it that struggles with mental health has to be one of them? In this case, I don't mean in the "it makes me uncomfortable for to discuss it," but in a "nobody believes me when I'm being honest, so I have to hide it" sort of way that toxic people tend to cause.
