Room Book Review & Movie Review

Book: This book was incredible, i loved it. It meant a lot for me just because i really related to the mom in this book... her experience with rape was heartbreaking and her journey through recovery was eye opening in so many ways. Without spoiling too much of the book and the movie i want to talk about the kid in this story, Jack. This is a great book for everyone i believe to read... it deals with tough issues but a lot of this is profound and should be explored more. Jack is such a charismatic young boy who is troubled at times.. but growing up in that type of environment could cause major damage to this young boys developmental growth.. since everything was done out of survival you can only applaud the mom and jack for both of their own personal bravery stories. Throughout this whole book you get captured yourself into their lives and you start wondering exactly, what would you personally do if in a situation like this? This book was mind boggling.. i didn't want the story to end because the ending was a perfect ending, it was bittersweet and i wanted more which i think is the perfect way to end off any book... with the reader wanting more.

Movie: The movie itself was very enjoyable and between the book and the movie, they kept true to a lot and there's some areas where i felt like the movie rushed more on what the book focused on most. I don't want to put any spoilers out there, but if you view it for yourself obviously it will be a different experience. I'm glad i was able to view it though, the little boy who acted as jack in this movie is an incredible boy... he was phenomenal in his performance and his delivery of the character... he really made me believe that this happened in real life and that this isn't just a movie, it's something that he had to struggle with.. and the same goes for Brie Larson.. she was amazing i really enjoyed her perspective in the movie... there was a lot more to her than just being cranky and the movie showed a lot more sides to her which i thought was an excellent move. I enjoyed both the book and the movie but ultimately i feel like i enjoyed the book more.. even though the movie was sooooo close. A lot of people might agree with the judgment of " The book is usually better than the movie" and for this experience i throughly enjoyed the book, but i really enjoyed the movie as well although there were some missing points.

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like

Overcoming Self Harm Trigger Warning

Before I begin to talk about everything that's happened with me lately i want to put this up in case anyone who is reading this needs to talk to someone... National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 . I'm not exactly sure where to start with this post. I have a lot of racing thoughts as to what exactly i want to say. I'll start off by stating my age, i'm currently 20 i will be turning 21 in august. I'm very young, i'm aware of it but it doesn't mean my emotions and or feelings are not credible to this topic because i've dealt with a lot of shit from my childhood up until now and experiences always give a lasting impression to me at least of how you can shape yourself as a better person.. what do these experiences give you? whether it's bad or good.. do you make something out of it? I'm still trying to process that within myself. I have had a traumatic event happen in my life when i was very young... and till this date it is my bi

My Big Secret

I've had a big secret that i've kept to myself for a long time and basically within last year and this year i've come forward and told a couple of people of what's happened to me. There's only two people that actually know everything about it which was my ex and also my health counselor. But i've told more people now about it... probably about 3 more people know about this as a general topic more than knowing each detail... but any progress that i made helped me a lot in the end. It's hard to even type this out but i was sexually abused as a child by someone that i consider close to me. I don't want to give out full details on anything at this moment. But i do want to use this space as something that i could both learn from as well as heal from. This whole blog has really shaped my view on what i've been wanting to do my entire life.. and mental health is such a big influence for me. I've always love learning about psychology and it's a
