Movies that I watched recently. + I would like to recommend to you.We're all guilty of binge-watching some really good shows. Series are amazing to watch, but recently I've been feeling those movie vibes. These are I few movies that I watched and would like to share with you guys. All of them are on Netflix, at least if you live in the Netherlands. A beautiful mind
I must admit that the movie didn’t start off very exciting. But as it became clear that something serious was happening I became intrigued. The soundtracks are astonishing and the overall editing work is beautiful. By the end of the movie I was moved by the story and I cried. It is an amazing story and I could recommend it to anyone. The talented Mr. Ripley
My mom and I felt like watching a movie and my eyes fell on this one randomly. To be honest I didn’t expect too much of it at first, but it turned out to be a great thriller with a lot of unexpected circumstances. I adored the atmosphere; the fifties, Italy’s roaming streets. The movie was way better than expected and I’d say it’s perfect for a date night; a thrilling movie with a romantic touch. The theory of everything
This movie shows his personal story in a beautiful way. A truly magical creation if you ask me; the editing couldn’t look any better. Personally: this is a type of movie I’d want my name on. “Movie goals” Mystic Pizza

Happy newyear. Another year around the sun. If you ever feel like nothing is possible, imagine that we are on a blue planet. Circling around a ball of fire. Inbetween an uncountable amount of stars, an infinity of galaxies. Everything is possible. 2017. I was going to write a list of newyears resolutions. Of course, I want to improve myself. Don't we all? I've been wanting to change myself since long before the start of 2017. The truth is we can't do it all in one year. We can't do it all in 10 years. We can't even do it all in an entire lifetime. You will never be perfect, you will always have flaws, problems, bad days, losses, improvements to make. Life will never be perfect and we just need to accept that.
A new year, and nothing is new. It's literally just a change of numbers. You can do what you want to do and when you want to do it. That is nobody's decision to make but your own. This year I don't want to make newyears resolutions, because bad situations will come. The only thing I want to do this year is learn how to handle those. Mental self improvement is my number one goal, this year and the next. Why am I writing this here? First off, I just needed something to write about and this seemed like a proper subject since it's the new year. And second, I want to record my progress and keep you guys updated in the mean time. And third... I really need to improve my writing. Like a lot. Just a short messy post today. Sorry for that! More is coming soon. Love, Lara I graduated high school last June. Feeling dissatisfied, unfulfilled, empty really. With all my friends still at school, I got bored. Because I couldn’t find a job I spent weeks in bed doing hardly anything. It was probably the most monotomous and dull summer ever. As September arrived I saw my friends and old classmates go back to school and start college whilst I was still at home because I had not picked a study due to insecurities. Luckily I quickly found a job and started studying two subjects (chemistry and biology) on the side.
Things got out of hand. I found myself working two jobs in total of 40 hours a week. I was constantly tired. Gave up working out. Went from eating healthy to eating worse and eating less. I felt empty, lonely, cried at least once every day. It’s something I can’t describe. It’s like my body can’t speak and my mouth can’t explain how I feel. I wasn’t afraid of death; I was afraid of an unlived life. And it was on my mind all the goddamn time. So, here I was. Too foreign for home. Too foreign for my body. Never good enough for both. Starting November, I decided to book a spontaneous trip to Austria to visit Lara and I am so glad I did. Even though it lasted only three days, that trip did me good. The following weeks were easier and my depressed mood felt like it almost faded. I am so thankful for my lovely boyfriend who dragged me through everything. He truly is the best. It is now December and almost Christmas time. Work is quiet so I have a lot of spare time. It’s a good thing because I get to work on myself again. I might have found the study for me which takes away so much stress actually. Finally, I am doing things again; I read books, painted, discovered good music. I started experimenting with editing photos and I created this little website. But something inside me is still wandering. “If you could do anything you wanted right now, what would it be?” It sounds cliché, I know. But I need to get out of here. You know suburbia? Suburban life, little house, taking the kids to soccer practice, working a 9-till-5 job and living towards the music. I don’t want to live forwards to a life in suburbia. I can imagine myself settling down eventually but not yet. You see it everywhere; people travelling. Experiencing new cultures and nature. Oh god, that is what I need. I need waves. I need waterfalls. I want rushing currents. I need mountains. I need forests. I want to be completely and utterly at peace. I’m about to dive into student loans and a planned future because I feel like I have to and it’s so hard. My heart is so tired. Let me tell you that I was actually planning to study nutrition and maybe eventually head to naturopathy, something that I am still very interested in nonetheless. I thought that that was going to become my future but I recently found out that it doesn’t have to be. In the course of a month I decided to throw my life around and I signed up for a study including photography and film. Because if I could do anything I wanted right now, it would be capturing our planet and its beauty. Because "What bird after seeing what the world has to offer would be content with a cage?" And I figured what the hell, let’s make it real. I have made it my goal in life. I know it sounds risky. Even when you have doubts, you need to take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure – they can be turned into wisdom. I don’t want to wait and wait and wait for it to never even happen. Because if we wait for the moment when everything is ready it shall never begin. I don’t want to sit behind a desk and study every day and night because I would never gain knowledge. Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all. This would be the point where I would tell you the rest of my plan. But the truth is I don’t have one. “Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” Love, Lara |
