Earlier this month I saw A Star Is Born. It was incredible, and while emotionally gripping, it embodied a blend of pain, inspiration, and beauty all wrapped into the makings of a great story. The soundtrack is incredible too. I’m a huge fan of both Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga and enjoy their work, so it wasn’t shocking to find the film enjoyable as well. If you haven’t seen it, be advised that it may make you smile, and may certainly make you cry. I was impressed with Bradley Cooper’s singing and portrayal of a likable yet haunted musician in search of something more, and Lady Gaga’s portrayal of a rising star who inevitably soars to incredible heights. Seeing the two connect in the films love story was beautiful too, but tragic when tested by fame, addiction, and a number of other conflicts that would shake the foundation of a somewhat complicated love story. If you haven’t seen the film, check it out. It’s worth the admission. Do something fun this weekend and enjoy yourself. TGIF!
Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. I’ve been ghosted by every guy I’ve met within the past two years. About six to be exact. · The first guy pursued me and then got shady whenever I asked him about what he did for a living and where he lived. When he started dodging and avoiding questions, wouldn’t initiate dates, and slowly stopped keeping in touch with me altogether, eventually, all communication ceased. · The second guy was someone I met through a family member. He was super cool, very smart, handsome, and funny, but didn’t want to be in a relationship and acted like he didn’t want to be seen with me publicly. When we had plans to meet for an outing, he didn’t show up, and then texted me about a week later with an apology. We chilled at my place a few times, had a few phone conversations, and exchanged occasional texts, but eventually he stopped responding to me
