Sunday Sayings

Went to a Tim & The Glory Bots concert this weekend (and most of you probably have no idea who that is, but that's what the Internet is for, my friends) and I felt moved to share this message with all of you. Choose joy this week!

The Theme of Hope In OUAT

Image
While this show is so popular for its reinvention of classic fairy tales, talented actors, and well-written plots, the main idea behind Once Upon a Time is the theme of hope. The writers, Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz say that the show is about hope, while their first show, Lost , was about redemption. I am sure that many others like myself have seen the redemption theme appearing in OUAT as well. Still, it is clear that the main message really is about having hope, faith, and belief, no matter the circumstances. The biggest example of this is with Snow White and Prince Charming. In all of their hard times, and whenever they are separated, they always have hope that they will find each other again. At the start of the show, they have no memories of each other, yet they have a special bond. Mary Margaret (Snow) takes the time to care for him at the hospital since no one knows who his family is, and it is when she reads their stories to him that he awakens. She had always hoped that...

Happy Mother's Day!

It has been 4 months exactly since I last saw my mom, but I did not realize that until I sat down to write this post. Has it been hard to live away from her? At times, yes. That probably sounds odd coming from an adult, but I think growing up and moving out is when we realize just how much we appreciate our moms.

We do so much together and sometimes I miss those little things like grocery shopping or watching our favourite shows.

My mom and I have always been close, but becoming an adult has made us friends. You might think it odd that I would not have considered my mom a friend before, but I think a mother is something so much more special. Moms are the ones to ...

Star Trek Beyond

[Warning: contains spoilers] This movie is set about three years after the last one, and Kirk is getting bored of all the exploration and peace missions. Luckily for Kirk this is a movie, so we know something big is going to happen. Kirk is also upset because his birthday is coming up, which makes him think of his father and what it means to live up to that legacy as well as make his own. Uhura and Spock are going through a rough breakup, so our main characters aren't in the best place emotionally. When they stop in Yorktown, Kirk asks to be promoted to a council job on base and to have Spock take his place as captain. Finally, our conflict begins. The Federation receives a distress signal from an alien whose ship has apparently malfunctioned, stranding her crew on the far side of the nebula, and the Enterprise is sent on a rescue mission. As they approach the planet, the crew is attacked by a small army of ships, the Enterprise is destroyed and the crew is scattered. Scotty mee...
