I watched this Australian coming-of-age indie drama on a flight and cried so much that one of the flight attendants came to check on me. Heart-wrenching in the best way possible. Itās everything John Green hoped āThe fault in our startsā would be, but is not.

I knew I was going to love this movie just because of the concept and the fact that itās Kieran culkin and Jesse eisenberg but right now itās the morning after I saw it and Iām sitting in bed crying thinking about certain things different characters but especially David, Jesse eisenbergs character said
Iāll tear up at a movie every once in a while but this movie really hit me because it is so relevant to how im feeling recently like literally every element of David and Benjis (Kieran culkin) emotional characteristics and their relationship with each other is relevant
My aunt passed away in September and I have been weirdly impacted by it since then and I have been working on controlling anxiety and depression for four years now with minimal progress and those two things, (Davidās OCD and anxiety/Benjiās grief) are essentially what lead David and Benji to take this trip together so as we learn more and more about their relationship with each other and their personalities themselves it kept getting more and more personal to an almost unbelievable degree
Theres a point where something happens and David sort of opens up and what he says about not actually being okay but just presenting that heās okay because he takes his medication and runs and meditates and goes to work then comes home then does it all again that really really hit me
It is such a perfect blend of funny but also deeply serious and emotional so even if itās not as relevant to you right now I think everyone should see this movie

Really pretty movie visually. Itās a super dry and awkward film in the best way possible. Itās this really relatable story of teenage heartbreak filtered through the more than slightly distrurbed mind of the films protagonist, Oliver. This kid is a piece of work š. But seriously, this film perfectly captures how teenagers think they have everything figured out, when they are far out of their depth and the grave mistakes that come from not having a fully formed brain.
Amazing soundtrack too, Alex Turner is featured prominently. As an Arctic Monekys fan I was quite pleased

Youāve heard of figs and goat cheese. But Stilton Blue Cheese and pear is really where itās at. An elite combo. Best enjoyed with a crisp glas of Lugana white wine, solving a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with an old Family Guy episode playing on your laptop as background white noise and your phone fully charged to start commenting on ex-coworkers stories on instagram once the wine hits. Not speaking from personal experience here.

Iām starting an official petition to bring back 80s style gated reverb drums. I was (deliberately) running late for work this morning when āMagic Danceā by David Bowie started playing on my phone and let me tell you that I felt my spirit leave my body and deep existential bliss on my morning commute for the first time when the first drums hit. Highly recommend.

As an avid Papaya aficionada, Iām here to tell you that if you havenāt tried papaya seeds, you are indeed missing out. Not only are the seeds edible, theyāre apparently beneficial and get rid of parasites in our gut (this info might be sponsored by Instagram health guru brain rot). Slice a papaya in half, douse it in fresh lime juice and leave half the seeds inside ā the best way to enjoy a spoonful of greatness.
