Love isn’t always easy, but we can learn something about traversing its difficult terrain from Netflix’s hit show ‘Heartstopper.’  Love should never involve shame.

We can all learn a little bit about love, friendship, and romance from ‘Heartstopper.’  The right people will love you for exactly who you are. A difficult truth: Not everyone will like you or accept you or understand you.

In the words of the great Anya Taylor-Joy, “I have a thing about feminine rage.” It’s not just that I feel it, it’s that I crave it—in art, in movies, in music.

We can’t predict the future; we don’t know the ways the world will change us over time. But that’s why it’s so important to hold onto these moments when we have them, to give ourselves over to them completely.

In honor of the second season forthcoming, here are some of my favorite lessons from first season of the show.  Sometimes a relationship’s hardships aren’t actually about the relationship—so approach them with empathy and understanding.

We have lost so many things along the way. But there is beauty in the fact that I can only grieve these things because I had them once, because they filled me with light and hope and heartache and anguish. And god, how wonderful it was to have had anything worth losing at all.

So, you want to plan a party? Then you’re in the right place!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably wondered (at least once) whether your house might be haunted. It’s normal to be curious, especially when you have a penchant for horror movies or you have a particularly anxious personality type.

It’s clear scary movies have a way of messing with our heads, especially if we aren’t in the best frame of mind. But no one expects to watch one and have their life completely changed.

I sometimes think it’s the end of the world. Not in an “I’m-anxious-and-I-am-overblowing-this-situation” kind of way—no, when I say “end of the world,” I mean it very literally.

I always feel like I’m saying goodbye too soon, walking out the door before I’m ready, starting anew before I’ve ever had the time to process the last ending. I try so hard to make the most of every moment, but then it’s gone and I’m not sure what to do but hold on to the next one and hope it’ll last for just a little longer this time.

In real life, working in the FBI is hardly like a movie.

My best friend didn’t tell me her house was haunted, but somehow I knew.

The truth is, deep down, I know that I am a lot. But what it took me so long to realize was that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

The seven-episode series stars Kate Bosworth, Natalie Martinez, and Alex Pettyfer as three of the ten festival-goers who are fighting for their lives in an attempt to make their way back home.

Patrons can also put money toward specific things, such as the band, the costumes (???), the special effects (seriously, ???), photography, games, and paradox props (?????), most of which mainly just leave me with a lot of questions.

I knew I was playing with fire the very moment I met you. If our love could only ever amount to destruction, I was ready to burn the whole fucking city to the ground.

It’s so easy to look into a mirror and criticize yourself, but what if you just… didn’t? What if you only let yourself wink and smile and say nice things? What if you admired your body for once?
