I know you’re selfish like me

The week arrived with a holiday right in the middle. It gives a feeling that nothing is worth it, after all, there’s a holiday right in the middle of the week. I haven’t decided if that’s good or not yet. But maybe it’s a good excuse to catch up on more series.

Riding the wave of luck, we had a 100% success rate — out of 4 movies and 1 series — over the weekend. Plus, another book successfully finished.

I confess that this was harder than I imagined. I know taste is relative, but in the quest to learn to tell better stories, I find myself increasingly deviating from the norm and seeking out movies based on real stories and/or acclaimed books.

So, we hit play on Baby Reindeer on Netflix — GUYS, WHAT WAS THAT???

I feel like a truck ran over me and threw me away. Did anyone get the license plate?

A mix of feelings hit me while watching, and I confess I’m still digesting some things. Without giving spoilers, the narrative of a young Scot who goes to London in pursuit of his dreams.

Then, he faces some challenges, realizes not everyone is sincere and keeps their promises, taking much more than they give. Leaving the emotional weak, revealing our human need to be accepted and loved, subjecting ourselves to any abuse in exchange for love.
