I once heard that when two people are in love, they can never fully achieve their dreams—at some point, one of them must sacrifice theirs.
Why would that be true? Why couldn't two people achieve their career goals while maintaining a loving and successful relationship? Then I start to think of all the major parental relationships in my life. While not as black and white as "one achieved their dreams and the other didn't", I do think that true love…
it’s christmas eve, 2019. i’m back home from Montreal for about a week for Christmas Holidays. My parents as a Christmas treat bought tickets for my sister and I to see 2001 in theatres at Tiff.
It’s an early evening showing, about 6:30pm. it was still dark, cold, and slushy in Toronto. We get into our seats and the movie “begins”. It starts with 5 minutes of black screen and near silence. My sister being slightly agitated by this opening…

Count the number of bullets in the gun (cred. Harry)
Really enjoyed this, Hitchcock has done it again.
