Parenthood
Parenthood is fun, challenging, puzzling, wonderful, perplexing, infuriating, delightful, awe-inspiring, crazy, and overall: weird. I love being a parent. I am the parent of a wonderful, fun, imaginative, caring, infuriating, tenacious four-year-old boy. I love him so much. He is my world, and I know from the way he looks at me, that I am his.

'Supernatural'
What can I say that hasn't already been said about this powerhouse of a show? I don't know, but I certainly can try. I ended up coming 8 years late to the party. I wish I watched Smallville back in 2005, so I could have watched this wonderful show and say I've been part of the SPN family since the beginning, but that's the thing. I've found no matter when you were adopted into the SPN family fandom, it doesn't matter. You are a member for life, no matter when you joined. That is the beauty of a fandom that is so accepting and a show that supports its fan base like no other.

Group Infighting
It doesn't matter what kind of group it is anymore, there seems to infighting everywhere. It is in places you would expect like politics and religion, to places you would think it would happen less, like in groups of nerds and geeks who like superheroes and anime. It saddens me that what used to bring a lot of us together seems to be ripping us apart. We used to have such solidarity in one another. We, the geeks, nerds, gamers, and otaku used to be the group who were harassed by the sports people, and regular people alike, but now, we are fighting each other. It breaks my heart. We have put too much emphasis on what makes "a real [fill in specific subculture here.]" Who cares as long as we can come together and talk about what we enjoy? Are people who play mobile games hurting anyone when they say they're a gamer? No. They're stating proudly that they are a sub-genre of a sub-culture. Do you understand what I'm saying? We need to think of what we label as a "Not real [fill in the blank]" as a type of sub-genre to the sub-culture we believe ourselves to be a part of.

Clichès
I know, I know... grab your torch and pitchforks, she just said: "are movie clichès really that bad?" I know I'm going to have one of the most disliked opinions on the internet, but hear me out. I have a good argument about various clichès that we find in movies, books, TV shows, video games, and other types of media. The various clichès in various books, movies, TV shows, video games, and other media have an ingrained purpose in the overall human psyche. In my humble opinion, clichès are needed in our media.
