romcom bender and just existing

A couple of weeks ago, I found myself feeling like I wasn't ever doing enough more than I usually do, as well as feeling overwhelmed by everything I wanted to achieve and trying to be super productive. So, i decided to just let everything go and exist. During this time I mainly watched a lot of movies and began this blog.
The main 'genre' of film that I binged was Hugh Grant Rom Coms.
1. They were super easy to watch. I didn't need a lot of concentration which I lacked at that time.
2. Hugh Grant was in them
It kind of became a game of how low would i sink for hugh grant?? Because, lets be honest, most actors have a not so good side of their filmography...

I'm guessing this post is just about me trying to be okay with doing the bare minimum and just living can be productive. I decided to use this time to collect 'fuel' for my mind and creations and also 'bad' movies are sometimes good.
