Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.

This critique is spot on. It's amazing to me that many of the artists, both painting and poetry, were never fully- or ever appreciated until death. Those with their feels on high, tend to be a little intimidating or scary, maybe. Do you know the song by Don Mclean? So touching, brings a whole new light on his work, not unlike your critique. Great job
Wow I absolutely love this. I am a huge Vincent Van Gough fan. You captured so much of his whole story in 50 words ❤️
I love Van Gogh. They had this immersive display here in Dallas featuring his work and it was so good I went twice lol Great critique ❤️❤️
Excellent review. It’s heartbreaking he never got the acclaim he deserved while alive for it, but I’m so glad he didn’t just fade into obscurity without me knowing of him.
Whoaaaa, I didn't know that he was in an asylum when he created that! I'm learning so many new things from all your pieces!
