Hello and hello.

I’ve been a bit remiss, as of late, in my writings. A number of factors contribute to this. However, it’s namely I’ve been very busy reflecting and thinking about life paths. Because that is such a heavy, introspective topic, I’m going to keep it light today. But is it ever really light?

In the whimsical realm of cinematic revisits, there exists a carousel of beloved movies and TV series that have become the comforting embrace of familiar narratives. As I reflect on the cherished tales that have graced my screen more times than I can count, each one whispers its own unique melody of wit, heart, and sincerity.

Ah, “Dirty Dancing” – a timeless classic that once left me puzzled, now beckons me with its siren song of boldness and connection. “Nobody puts Baby in a corner,” they say, and indeed, the drive to be unapologetically oneself resonates in every twirl and dip. It’s a reminder that daring to defy the norm and forge genuine connections is the heartbeat of life’s dance.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” – a perennial favorite that invites me into a world where destiny intertwines with teenage angst. The notion that one has a purpose, a destiny to fulfill, no matter the odds, strikes a chord deep within. It’s a rallying cry to embrace our unique calling, knowing that others count on us to shine our brightest.

“Gilmore Girls” – a tender portrayal of the rapport between mother and child that never fails to tug at my heartstrings. The camaraderie, the banter, the unbreakable bond – it’s a poignant reminder of the enduring love that weaves through the tapestry of family.

And then there are the MI-5 antics – delightful, mindless escapades that whisk me away on adrenaline-fueled adventures, offering a brief respite from the complexities of reality.

“Farscape” – a sci-fi gem that mirrors my own journey of cultural adaptation, reminding me that growth often comes from embracing the unfamiliar and finding beauty in diversity.

Lastly, every plane ride brings with it the promise of “Crazy, Stupid, Love” – a beacon of hope and connection in a chaotic world. Because at the end of the day, who doesn’t crave the warmth of human connection, the spark of hope that ignites even in the darkest of times?

So here’s to the movies and TV series that have become old friends, comforting companions on life’s unpredictable journey. Each viewing is not just a rewatch but a reunion, a chance to rediscover the magic and meaning that continues to resonate with every heartfelt beat. Love, being true to onself, and absolute curiosity about the world are the baseline for my favorite shows and are at the core of who I am.
