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.

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...

Why I Want to Become a Substance Abuse Counselor

So i never really have given much depth as to what i wanted to do in terms as a life goal of mine. If everything in life goes well for me i'd like to become a substance abuse counselor and although this image says drugs, substance abuse could also be alcohol and different forms of substance abuse could also include other addictions like eating. Tonight i want to share why exactly i want to become a substance abuse counselor and what led me to this path. My older brother is actually an alcoholic and most of my life i think i just ignored that fact, i didn't have much of a reaction as to how i felt about it because i would often be blind-sighted of what was happening around me, even though i'm sure i could pick up on cues and see the patterns that were happening, i chose to ignore them instead. As i got older it was more prevalent and it was hard to ignore because often times that was all that was talked about in family conversations. This is sort of an on going battle, ...

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time. My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...
