Nobody puts baillee in the corner

As hard as this may be for some of you to believe, It Comes at Night was actually one of the first movies I ever went to see by myself.  I’m serious.  I hadn’t watched this movie in a long time, and I still really enjoy it. In fact, I love this whole little subgenre of horror…

I’m ashamed to admit that I tend to forget about Tales from the Darkside: The Movie. It’s such a wild little movie, and it’s crazy that they were able to pull so many big names for it.  Plus, Debbie Harry plays a witch that’s trying to cook a young Matthew Lawrence for a dinner party.…

CW/TW: DV, SA, and all like topics  I’m going to come out swinging in this one—I think Run Sweetheart Run is one of Blumhouse’s kbest. But unfortunately, I also think it’s one of Blumhouse’s best kept secrets, making it an underrated gem.  For those not in the know, Run Sweetheart Run follows Cherie (Ella Balinska) as she fights like hell for…

CW/TW: EDs, emotional ab*s*, verbal ab*s*, and all like topics  Note: I actually wrote this yesterday, but I completely forgot to post it. I cried listening to “Praying” by Kesha in the shower this morning for a myriad of reasons.   No, seriously. Whenever people were getting to me or I was going through a rough…

It’s been two years, to the day, since my best friend, confidant, and mom died.  And, I wish I could tell you it’s gotten easier.  I wish I could say that I’ve powered through my grief, and I’ve come out the other side.  But, it’s just not true.  Grief isn’t something you scratch off your…

Some people are probably going to get upset and/or mad at me for everything I’m about to say. But, I’ve never lied in my writing, and I’m not going to start now.  Rick (my dad) passed away yesterday. And, I didn’t cry.  I still haven’t.  I know how horrible that sounds, but I want to…

I started this project years ago because I had never been in love, and I still haven’t. But with Matty, I was close. Really damn close.  Oh, Matty.  For those who don’t know, Matty’s pseudonym is an allusion to Matty McKibben from Awkward. I think a tiny little part of me will always have feelings…

Bryce is the person I liked most recently…and I haven’t spoken to him in almost four years. Do with that information what you will.  Bryce and I worked together, and I thought he was cool. We would chat some in the app our work used, and he eventually asked for my number.  I didn’t think…

Out of the five people I’m choosing to write about, Austin’s story is the second hardest to tell, next to Matty’s.  Austin is definitely one of my “almosts.” I feel like in another life or another universe, we could’ve been great. But, I think the timing was just off, and I think we both needed…

Out of the five people I’m thinking about, I think Trevor is the one who might get upset about me writing this. I believe he unfollowed me on Instagram, but, Trevor, if you read this, I promise I’m not doing this to hurt you; I just need to get all of these stories off my…
