Dancing with Shadows
There’s a unique tension in the silence of a blank page. It’s not just the absence of words, but the weight of all the ideas that refuse to materialize. Writer's block isn't merely a lack of inspiration—it’s the daunting feeling of being lost in a fog, knowing that something powerful is waiting to be uncovered, but unable to grasp it.

Finding Myself in the Story: How Moonlight Shaped My Journey to Belonging. AI-Generated.
Growing up, I never quite saw myself in the media around me. It was like being in a crowded room but feeling completely invisible. As a queer person, representation was scarce, and when it did exist, it often fell into stereotypes that felt far removed from my lived experience. That all changed one evening when I watched a film that would become a turning point in my journey toward understanding and accepting my identity: Moonlight.

Reevaluating Social Norms: From Workaholism to Fast Fashion
Workaholism, characterized by an excessive and uncontrollable need to work, has become a socially endorsed behavior in many modern societies, particularly in Western cultures. This phenomenon is often justified by the idea that hard work leads to success and prosperity. However, an increasing body of evidence suggests that the culture of workaholism has significant negative implications for individuals' health and societal well-being. Studies have shown that chronic overworking can lead to physical ailments such as hypertension and heart disease, as well as mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Therefore, it is crucial to reevaluate the merit of workaholism as a social norm and consider more balanced approaches to work-life integration.

The Repercussions of Telling Big Little Lies. Content Warning.
While I am an avid consumer of horror stories and films as my most recent publications have indicated, I also enjoy stories that aren’t considered horror, but that might have a darker edge or underlying weight to them that could be considered to be real world horror. An author I’ve only begun to read over the last two years or so is Liane Moriarty, who has become a known name in the last few years. I’ve read only four so far, they each have packed a punch not unlike the powerful prose of Jodi Picoult, while still having her own unique voice that’s really unforgettable. Where I started with her body of work is where I think many have started due to its popularity as well as the subsequent limited series with HBO. This book is Big Little Lies. Before reading this novel I had heard a great deal of buzz about it. Friends were telling me to watch the limited series. Reviews for the novel as well as the limited series were showing up online left and right. When I did finally read this book, I wasn’t prepared for what I ultimately read.

Lisey's Disappointing Story
I’ve made it clear in previous reviews that I’m a big fan of Stephen King. I’ve read most of his body of work, seen the film and TV adaptations, and I even have a half sleeve tattooed on my right arm as a tribute to him and his work. This is why for me, it’s a bummer that I didn’t enjoy Lisey’s Story as much as I really wanted to upon my reading of the book.
