i enjoy watching movies! my boyfriend helped unintentionally give me a new respect, adoration, patience, and love with movies… as well as curiosity for ones i would normally not watch, like action films!

knives out rocks!

movies are precious and tender to me and they make me happy. i know that my comfort films are something i enjoy because i feel safe because i know what will happen next.

new movies bring me joy, though, too, and he has been helping open me up to other movies, slowly but surely!

a piece of one movie called joyride shows a character appear to be jealous around their best friend’s best friend. it’s so interesting because i used to be very anxious about saying “this is my favorite…” in fear someone will bring up a week before that i said something else was my favorite “…”.

and that is what’s important! i can love my friends the same way platonically. i can love cooked carrots and cooked squash the same. i am not shaming or judging the writing or acting in this movie. in fact i just can’t help but to think about sweet girls getting jealous of a friend for having another friend simply because they might have this idea that they should only have one. they can love more than one person and i find it beautiful when i look at it like this.

a peace starts when i remind myself gently that i can have more than one best friend, more than one opinion, and more than one favorite thing in the same group of things. precious to me reminding myself it’s okay to speak and misspeak, but when i talk about loving more than one thing or creature it’s so special and real and that’s not misspeaking… it’s tender comfort.

special tender reminders for you!:

• you are love
• you are kind
• you are valid
• you are allowed to take a break
• you are allowed to rest
• it is not lazy to practice self care
• self care is self love and you deserve love!

you really do.

~love, little angel grace
