I think I’ve hated myself in two different ways. The first was the worst and the hardest, the longest-lasting. And the second was still hard but it was easier to deal with on some level. But also, the second form, coming after the first, probably still had some of the first form wrapped up inContinue reading “Hating Myself”
High Movie Review #12: The Godfather: Part II

Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
Wouldn’t it be nice if people were, well, nicer? The answer is, “yes,” obviously. It would be better if more people were more nice more often.
