THE RANT: HAPPINESS, SEXUAL MISCONDUCT, SIDE HUSTLES

Happiness:
I was with a friend recently, and she was talking about all this stuff she’s been doing to the point where it was overwhelming for me haha. But she was happy and glowing! Although her life seemed too much and overwhelming, I realized how happy it still made her. Made me realize I have my own way of being happy. Like, I like having my alone time more than not. I need my social times. I need to schedule my days and even make a checklist sometimes. I realize I do go through phases, which are needed which can be over socializing or over introvert and just wanting to be alone for a long time. These things I do struggle with because I hate that im not consistent, BUT I need to embrace what Vanessa needs and these are my natural patterns. I will be happy for this. No more feeling bad about it. I feel my spirit will feel better about this as well.

Sexual Misconduct:
I recently watched a show on AppleTV called The Morning Show with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Now, I’m not gonna sugarcoat that I’ve been molested before, but this show definitely showed me and opened my eyes about sexual misconduct. I think I know a lot of people, women mostly that have been unknowingly groomed and put in vulnerable situations where we felt surprised and uncomfortable in the situation but were overpowered enough to freeze and not get the chance to say “no.” And with that, the other party doesn’t feel they didn’t anything wrong just because there was no “no” being said. There were some scenes where I was like yes, I have been through this and it really is so wrong and hard to explain. Especially when being judged on well why didn;t you say no, why didn’t you run away, why why why. I don’t know, that was another thing that opened my eyes this past week.

Side Hustles:
Um, I think I am addicted to side hustles lol. Have you seen those girls on instagram “how to make money from home?” Yea well I am addicted lol. I don’t pay these people but I do research some of the websites they recommend. I know a few legit ones, hit me up if you are interested.

Line from the Buccaneers that I just saw last night, debating thoughts… “love is a heart attack love is the best and worst of everything love is hating someone with every inch of your soul yet spending even a minute without them is the worst pain you’ve ever known”

MOVIES AND SHOWS

FAMILY PLAN 2023 (AppleTV) * * *
COMEDY/ACTION
Meh, it was ok. I do like silly Marky Mark movies but something was lacking in this. I thought it would have similar humor to The Good Guys.

SHARP OBJECTS 2018 (MAX)
THRILLER
I am bit late on this one but this miniseries is really good! I couldn’t stop. I needed answers! If you like thrillers and detective type, watch this!

DOOM PATROL 2019-2023 (MAX) * * * * *
SCI-FI/ANTIHERO
I think this was the last season. I thought it ended well. Not it’s best season but the ending did make me teary eyed. The overall show was great, raunchy, hilarious, dark, random, weird.

LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY 2023 (AppleTV) * * * * *
DRAMA
This was a great show! Female Chemist in the 60s, living in a man’s world. If you are into 50s 60s settings, definitely watch this. Drama but filled with reality and soul.

THE MORNING SHOW 2019 TO CURRENT (AppleTV) * * * * *
Great drama series about the morning show in New York. Drama galore.

Some shows I recommend if you have nothing to watch: The Buccaneers

HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

Early Month: My hair line is thinning out so I got Weem gummies, they had a great rating so wish me luck lol! I will report end of month.

Mid Month: I feel like I see a difference but I have also missed a few days recently because I haven’t felt well.
