Jay and I don't typically watch movies so reading aloud together is something that allows us to connect and also be entertained.

For 2025, I have the goal to read / listen to at least 2 books a month. I know it's not much but I am quite busy. Books we read together will be marked as such (♡).

• My Time to Stand: A Memoir by Gypsy-Rose Blanchard ★★★★☆ 🕪
  • It's a shame to say it, but I felt seen. I grew up in an unhealthy situation with my own mother so I can relate in ways that make my heart ache. I am glad I read it and glad she shared.
• The Only Girl in the World: A Memoir by Maude Julien ★☆☆☆☆ 🕪

I don't really watch television or movies but sometimes I take the notion to!

f e b r u a r y

• 50 First Dates (2004) ★★★★☆ — Honestly one of my favorite movies. I saw it pop up on Amazon Prime and just had to.
• Me Before You (2016) ★★★☆☆ — I've seen bits of this before but I had never actually watched it. I got about 1/3 of the way through it. I hope to finish it.

m a r c h

• Me Before You (2016) ★★★★☆ — Watched the rest of the movie. It was sweet. I cried.

• Deadstream (2022) ★★★☆☆ — Interesting movie. Not my favorite but it was amusing.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beatrice Sophia 30.9.2025

• A daughter I birthed in my dream. I hesitated with her name but she was definitely Beatrice Sophia, "Beatrice". She was active. She had strawberry blonde hair. She ate well and gained weight during the dream. I was proud of her and showed her off to my grandmother. I took her to a comedy performance in a park with some other people I know.

Emily 15.01.2025

• In my dream we had a daughter and we named her Emily. She was sometimes called "Emi" or "Emma". I also considered Sophie Araminta for her.

Hunter

• My boyfriend and I adopted a little boy, he was about 3-4 years old and rambunctious. We decided to call him Hunter. I'm no...
