So for years, like 10 now, I’ve been calling myself a writer. I think that term is now way too general for me.

Current Watch

Current Watch (I haven’t finished it yet, no spoilers): Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku !! It is so good. It’s got strange creature which for some reason I love.

I cry at this part every time I watch Moana. So on this lovely Wednesday night, I will share the lyrics but thisContinue reading “This Part Get Me Every Time”
