Day Seven: Favorite Movie

May 19, 2022

Happy Thursday Read-friends! One more day to go until the weekend! Hold on tight and do your best at work or in school with all your might and then you are good to go.

I'm now on day seven of the thirty-day writing challenge originally initiated by @Ellehcim. I see a lot of users here who are making their version. This is a lifesaver. A good alternative and a go-to area whenever you feel like you are having mental block.

This is by far the most challenging topic to write about for me. I tried thinking about the movies that I have seen before but I couldn't pinpoint one which I can consider my favourite. I'm not a movie buff and I haven't been to a cinema up today. But I have watched a few movies before. That was way back in high school when we don't have much to do. My friends love to watch movies plus our teachers back then used to allow us to watch movies in class with a reflection paper of course after.

Alas! After hours of thinking and overthinking, I'm reminded of the movies that left footprints in my heart. The first one was Miracles From Heaven. It is a truth-based and faith-themed movie that tackles the life of a young girl who was diagnosed with u curable disease that was later on healed after her near-death experience of falling off a tree. Her mother's faith and their family's relationship with God would surely move any cold heart into tears.

Another favourite of mine is the Pitch Perfect series. I mean I would be all smiles while facing the screen even when I have been watching it a million times. I love the movie as it is feel-good and calming. The characters are also equally beautiful that you wouldn't get tired of staring at them.

I'm envious of my high schooler self now as I was able to do a lot of things then. Mostly enjoyed my time and tried out new things. Now I can barely sit down to watch a movie. As much as I want to watch an episode and unwind, my body won't allow me as, after a few minutes of facing the screen, I automatically doze off. This adulting life got us all tired and sleepy. I would want to sleep first and then watch a movie after but that is impossible too as there are loads of work waiting for me. So, watching a movie seems impossible and it is a luxury for me.

I have here episodes of a Korean series entitled Business Proposal and it has been sitting in my gallery since April 15. For more than a month now, I still haven't taken a peek at the series that everyone loves. I hope in time I will be able to squeeze this into my busy schedule. Charot.

Thanks for reading. Until the next read!
