Every time King Pat goes into his childhood, gets me all fucking teary, I swear. ;___;
Too bad that I'm not talented like him. Also my dad would disown if I became an actress.
GURL, WHAT???!!! Are you okay? That's terrible! I mean, I'm sure you're much more talented than you give yourself credit for, but your father??? That is legit so damaging, I'm sorry, bb. AND HE THREATENED TO KILL YOU??? Please tell me you cut him off. That's straight-up verbal abuse, sweetie. *hugs* I'm really thankful I have supportive parents and I think my relationship with my dad is overall fairly good, but I will say, he was physically and emotionally abused as a child, so sometimes he says things to me that are sooo hurtful (I don't think he realises tho). He used to spank me as a kid bc I was a miserable brat, but I was really young so I don't know if that was abuse exactly? I don't consider my parents - either of them - to be abusive, but things aren't always rainbows and sunshine, either. Like, I had a really messed up view about gender for a loooonnng time bc he's so sexist and flat-out calls my mum a fucking bitch sometimes when they fight (and that only got physical twice from memory; my mum beat my dad really hard with a flashlight/torch when I was in middle school and he bruised terribly in the morning; I heard it bc I had just turned off the light to go to sleep and my parents were down the hall and Dad came in to apologise for what happened). Now that I'm older, I call him out when he says dumb shit and he does listen to me, but I don't think he learns. Nobody is black-and-white or perfect. :(
Yep @ Tom Hardy. If I continue this series in the future (I would LOVE to, but life happens, y'know?), I really want to talk about his shit and just didn't have the time or the space to do so right now (I could just do an entire post about him, tbh). Although, another user linked me a vid where he seems to be understanding his privilege, so I don't know. He still irks me for some reason, tho. Like, that fucking pout he does with his lips? Super petty and shallow of me, but GOD! He kept doing that in Mad Max and I was like, "Bitch, STOP!" He also did some annoying I'M ACTING!!! bits in that Wuthering Heights adaptation he did. He screamed/cried at one point and it was like, "Am I supposed to feel SAD for Heathcliff bc this is so fucking hilarious, I'm sorry?" I felt bad for laughing, honestly. I mean, #ICant. I'm a terrible person, but his face drives me freakin' nuts!
I'm sorry about your school experiences, love. I can't stand teachers that bully of all people (like my problematic fave Severus Snape, fuck him). I went to a really shitty public American school in Las Vegas for middle school (also, high school) if that makes you feel better. Some of my teachers were good, but the environment couldn't be helped. Like, it wasn't a "ghetto school" but the kids were sadists and the curriculum was so behind other states. Both those schools have low-ass test scores, so I wouldn't be alarmed to find out I'm maybe not that smart. I feel I learned practically NOTHING while there. My GPA in college (UNLV) was a 3.36/4.00 tho. Idk if that's anything? I have a BA in film and while I don't regret it, it's fucking useless lol. Should I go back and get a degree in journalism, I have no idea? I'm struggling to pay my student loans.

You make a lot of good points and this is also some really good advice bc I've been unsure for a while. I'm not rich, so money, unfortunately, holds me back. I think I can freelance, as hard as that is, bc I do know of magazines (online and print) that take unsolicited submissions through emailed query letters. Definitely need to start doing that. I'm freelancing as a short story writer/novelist/screenwriter and while nothing has been picked up yet (I've submitted two or three scripts and one short story in the past two years, all have been rejected but also got really good feedback, it just wasn't what they were looking for and rejection is okay; I save all my rejection emails lol!), I know I have to just keep working at it. I guess, while I never wrote assignments for publications, I do know how to write essays, I do know how to research (somewhat), and I did movie review courses with Elvis Mitchell at UNLV (he's quite a famous movie critic; he hosts The Treatment and writes for The New York Times, among others; he made a cameo appearance in BoJack Horseman which made me happy lol). He said I should really get into that line of work bc my media reviews were so good. He said, quite honestly (I don't mean to brag, but LET ME LIVE lmao) that he never had a students like me and my sis who wrote reviews/essays like we do, meaning they were much more advanced for student writing. I have high-functioning autism and I'm not super smart or anything, though that's my main interest: writing. I'm currently a part-time English tutor online (making pennies, but it's something). So, I guess trying to get an MA in journalism would be pointless? Or even a screenwriting MA (unless I want to teach). That English tutor job on my resume could help, right? I haven't been doing it for very long, only since Nov 2019, but still. Aside from internships, it's all I really have right now.
If I decide to get my PhD, I'll get it on political science. Because I want to leave an open door for academy when/if I decide to go back to academy.
Girl, totally go for that if you can! I think you can do it! That is SOOO impressive!!! :)
