I don't know if it's the weather or just the slower pace that comes with it, but whenever it starts raining, I almost always end up reaching for a book instead of opening Netflix.
It wasn't something I planned it just quietly became one of my favourite little routines.
I finally watched both Side A and Side B over the weekend and honestly, I wasn't expecting the story to stay with me this much.
There are a lot of good movies that you enjoy while watching and then move on from. This wasn't one of them.
For some reason, the scenes by the sea hit me the hardest. The sea almost felt like a character of its own throughout the film. There was something peaceful and emotional about those moments that perfectly matched what the characters were going through.
Maybe that's why the ending left such an impact on me. It wasn't just the story, it was the feeling the film created.
The music, performances and cinematography were all beautiful, but it's that emotional connection and those seaside moments that I'm still thinking about days later.
Has anyone watched this movie yet?
I didn't realise how often I'd reach for my phone until I started putting it on the other side of the room while reading.
The first few minutes felt strange, but now I actually end up reading for much longer without getting distracted.
It's such a small change, but it's made a bigger difference than I expected.
It's been one of those weeks where I just want to switch off for a while.
I'd love some recommendations for songs that help you relax or just make everything feel a little lighter.
I was having one of those mentally exhausting days today where I couldn't decide what to watch. I spent almost 20 minutes scrolling through different OTT apps, gave up, and ended up playing Friends... again.
I've lost count of how many times I've watched it, but somehow it never feels repetitive. I already know what's going to happen, I know the dialogues, and I still laugh at the same scenes.
At this point, it isn't even about watching the show anymore. It's just something that instantly makes me feel lighter, no matter what kind of day I've had.
I'm sure everyone has that one show they always go back to. For me, it'll probably always be Friends.
I think for me it would be Ikigai, the book that I want to start all over again
