Why you should watch Enola Holmes (2020)
- female teenage protagonist (Enola) is 16, played by actual 16yr old Millie Bobby Brown instead of an adult woman
- love interest (Tewkesbury) is played by 17yr old Lewis Partridge and not a man that’s way older than Millie
- Enola is not sexualized once in the entire movie
- Enola is not made to look older than 16
- period movie that isn’t depressing or super dark
- criticisms on society that are very valid today
- Tewkesbury cries on screen (let men show their feelings 2020)
- Enola is not a damsel in distress, in fact she’s the one that goes out of her way to save Tewkesbury
- Enola is 90% of the time wearing an outfit that is comfortable on her and allows her to move freely, the only times she doesn’t are when she’s undercover
- a genuinly fun story that’s easy to follow, appropriate for kids and not boring to adults
- no love at first sight bullshit, it takes Enola ages before she realizes her feelings and love is not her main motivation
- Mycroft is an absolute abysmal human being and the movie never tries to sympathise with him. He’s just straight an asshole and isn’t given a redemption or sympathy
- movie is written and produced by women
-Enola is incredibly tough and strong but also cries when Mycroft yells at her which 1. is super relatable and 2. shows that being strong and sensitive aren’t mutually exclusive
depression tips™
- shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
- moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
- put on clean, comfortable clothes.
- put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
- drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
- clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
- blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
- make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
- make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
- go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
- call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
- cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

It’s not often you see depression tips that are actually useful on this hellsite, these are all good though. Also good things to do (depressed or not) if you’re feeling lethargic or can’t focus!

Lost
I want to make sense of everything that's been happening to me. For the past month my life has been spiraling out of control. The love of my life, my everything, and my rock has left me. We still talk everyday but it's not the same. He's distant and shut off. I know I hurt him so badly but the pain I'm feeling is now scaring me. I may have broken his heart but right now he has full control of mine. He seems perfectly okay after all that's happened to us these four weeks and I'm left struggling to breathe. I need him to save me but instead I feel him watching me while I drown. I cry out for help but nobody listens.. I had a dream once that I was drowning at a pool party and no one helped me. Instead they stared at me, laughed at me, and ignore my presence. I tried to move but I couldn't. I tried to scream but nobody heard me and if they did that didn't listen. This feels the same. Everyone around me is watching me suffer but no one in my life cares anymore. They think my decisions and my feelings are a joke and they ridicule me for my mistakes. I've let myself take this in. I've let myself be vulnerable and now, I'm so lost. I've began to give up on love and life itself. Does he want me to feel this? Does he need to see me torture myself over this? I'm now scared of who I've become because without him I don't know who I am. I envisioned my future with him and now I'm terrified because I don't know what's going to happen to me. The panic and fear have risen to unbearable levels. Sometimes I find myself wishing to be dead because then maybe, just maybe my pain will be healed. I haven't felt this much sorrow and discontent in months. I don't know how to handle the loneliness that has blanketed over me. With out this man I am nothing. They tell you not to let a man define who you are and please understand I haven't. This man was my better half. We shared so much in common it was almost surreal. We were perfect for each other. Through God, this man led me towards the woman I wanted to be. This man helped redirect me towards God and gave me hope. He helped rekindle my faith. Without his accountability I've began to question my entire existence. If God had blessed me with the most perfect human being, the strongest man in the world, someone who encouraged me everyday to be better and stronger, why would he take him away. He stripped me of the one thing holding me together. But for what purpose? What do I have if I'm not serving the Lord with the man of my life? I'm lost.. and I want and need to be found.. The only person that can save me from this need and want to end everything is you, Jordan, so please.. hear my cries.
