Nefarious - Amazon Prime

Nefarious is a suspense/thriller movie (2023) starring Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints, Insight) and Jordan Belfi (Entourage, All American). I randomly picked this one since it was on my "Based on what you watched" list on Prime. I read the summary, and it mentioned something about a guy on death row convincing a psychiatrist he is possessed. 

Now, I am a sucker for a demon possession movie... and you want to know why? Because it COULD happen! Just like home invasion movies - that shit could happen to anyone! Needless to say, I was not disappointed. 

Coping with Depression

Check out my blog posts about coping with depression on healthyplace.com

Today, there is still a stigma about depression: "Why can't people just snap out of it?" If it were only that easy! Being diagnosed with a depressive disorder is more than just feeling sad sometimes. First, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a condition that causes a persistently low or depressed mood – not situational sadness or feeling low. Sometimes, it can be triggered, and sometimes, it can be out of the blue. Regardless of how it comes about, MDD affects sleep, appetite, energy, ability to focus, and interest in usually enjoyable things (Cleveland Clinic, 2022). Coping with MDD is multi-faceted. There is not just one solution or magic pill that improves or cures mental health – it is a mixture of things that help people (and me) cope.

Addicted to the Jazz

When you mention 'change,' most people become anxious, break out in a cold sweat, and dread what comes next. However, there are a few of us who are...Addicted to the Jazz. 

I first heard this phrase from my counselor from eons ago, and I will never forget it.

First of all, my Sun sign is Sagittarius. If you're unfamiliar with zodiac signs, Sagittariuses are unafraid of change and actually embrace it. We also like to explore the unknown and learn all we can about new things. We're independent and don't back down to a challenge. In other words, we are always searching for the next thing; thus, I am ADDICTED to the JAZZ. But let me explain further...

Significant Other - Paramount+

Significant Other is a 2022 film streaming on Paramount+ starring Jake Lacy (Pete in The Office and A Friend of the Family) and Maika Monroe (It Follows - I highly recommend that one). It occurs in an Oregon forest while a fun-loving couple goes camping. In the beginning, we see a streak falling from the sky into the forest - which we can only assume is an alien spaceship. 

Scary Movie Reviews

Hello! I was brainstorming what else to write about on my blog the other night... And I thought, you know, I love scary/thriller movies, yet I am trying to remember which ones I have seen and which ones I haven't! Last month, I started a page in my journal dedicated to listing the movies I will watch in 2024 - this is so when my brother asks what my favorite movie of the year was, I can give an honest answer and not just shrug my shoulders or name the only movie I remember watching! Haha!

With that, why not post about the ones I've watched and my opinion about them so that other people can read about random scary movies that may be out there and get an honest opinion about them. So here I am... 

Disclaimer: I am a harsh scary/thriller movie critic. It takes a lot to get me scared since I have watched SO many, and as Randy from Scream points out - "There is a formula to it. A very simple formula!" 

Imbalance

You tell me I truly see you for you, 

yet you constantly see through me.  

You tell me I make you feel essential, 

yet you don't seem to require me.
