Writing helps find sense of self, empowerment through creativity
Writing has always been my entire life. It’s always allowed me a sense of escape, a sense of self and a sense of creativity. For any person associated with fine arts, it seems apparent that I’d want to establish a favorite writer, or even someone I could call an inspiration. But it’s really hard to […]
‘Outlaw Star’ anime exemplifies memorable characters, great development
An anime series I’ve recently finished and added onto my space anime list is “Outlaw Star.” Beside the fact that everything about this show was perfection, and has one of the best theme songs in existence, what really kept me interested was the characters and their developments.

When I was a child, I always liked watching cartoons, which is pretty normal for a kid. My sister and I would watch Disney movies all day on VHS, and when we weren’t watching movies, we would watch PBS kids. Nowadays, I still watch the same stuff, and I’m 19-years-old. The reason I still watch? […]

‘Jane the Virgin’ a realistic, refreshing television series
People will rarely see me willingly watch television shows or movies with real people. There is not a particular reason for this, besides the fact that because I grew up watching animation and real people don’t really speak to me.
