Requiem for a dream

Omgoodness. That was my reaction when i finished watching this movie. I had no words, i was absolutely stunned. Wow. What did i just see? I don't know...but i know it was something amazing, epic, incredible, something too big for words. I know, this is surely not a movie you put on to brighten everyone's mood or anything, in fact, it'll just do the opposite of that. But the message that this movie gives is just brilliant. As you all know, this movie is about drugs and how substance abuse can annihilate your dreams and aspirations down the line. It shows the lives of 4 main characters who want to accomplish different things but due to their growing addiction, they are lead down a path of turmoil. In the end, it eventually ends up destroying them. This is what needs to be shown to all the kids out there that wanna try drugs, they need to show this shit. Because nothing gets the message across better then this movie. The acting was brilliant and the portrayal by Aronofsky was on point. The theme song went really well with the theme of the movie because you could feel each emotion, all the pain that the characters were experiencing. In the end, all of them curl up into a fetal position symbolizing their loneliness. Clearly, Connelly's character has chosen her love for cocaine over her lover. You wondered whether Leto and her were truly in love or just together for their love of drugs. All i can say is, i will never do drugs again...wait...what?

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
