A Ramble

I have been thinking a lot lately. And this is going to be a ramble, total word vomit. But I want to write it anyway. Because sometimes you have to let it out so it doesn't implode within.

When is it time to unfollow your dreams?

The only way to accomplish a dream is to work for it. And you can't work for it if the only effort you put in is coming up with excuses as to why you can't pursue it.

5 Scenes from My Favourite Movies that Make No Sense

But what about those movies that are actually good, the ones that are beloved, cult classics, even critically acclaimed - is it possible for a movie to be great if it has scenes that make no sense?

Part 3: And So They Met
