'Thirteen Reasons Why'
“No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same. But you can't get away from yourself. You can't decide not to see yourself anymore. You can't decide to turn off the noise in your head, You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is... now” - Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why.

Big Hero Six Is Much Deeper Than You Might Think
Hello Internet! Did any of you guys notice any of these psychological signs during the movie? If not, I am here to point them out to you in case you missed any. This story takes place in a made-up town in San Francisco called San Fransokyo. It is a blend of Tokyo and San Francisco. Due to the fact it is the first-ever partnership between Disney and Marvel. Even the super hero group name in the movie is loosely based on a Marvel comic hero team name in past Marvel comics. The story is about a young boy named Hero. You may have not realized it but this movie is a lot darker than you think. Hero, our main character, is going through a lot of loss and lacks moral reasoning due to it and also being a young boy going through puberty. He only graduated high school at the age of 13 due to the fact he has high mathematical skills. He seems unsure of himself, not sure what to do with his life. He even gets into illegal trouble and starts to bot fight.

Just to Get Over What We Lost
I wonder if you think about it as I do. Sometimes I swear every moment between us wasn't true. I keep laying in bed thinking about the times between us. I'm tired of you always letting me down. I try so hard to forget. It should be much easier to forget the memory of you. I don't regret meeting you. I just miss the life we had. I keep waiting for the day you want me back. You threw my heart away. Can't seem to throw out your pictures even though I don't want you back. I keep them just in case you change. Just in case I wake up and this is all a dream. I needed you the most. I hate being too good at faking my smile. Just acting like I am ok. I keep hoping the more I say I'm over you one day it will be finally true. I started fooling myself, thinking I was over you. Kissing strangers in a darkened room. Hoping to forget your touch. The nights I spend with others are hazy. I am doing the best that I can. We went through all of that just to be strangers again. I keep thinking you aren't missing me at all, even though after months of being apart you tried to re-add me on social media. A day doesn't go by I don't think about you. Feels like I lost my best friend in life. I honestly just miss you more than words can explain.

Our Hidden Desires
His hand creased my cheek as we looked into each other's eyes silently. Everything I ever wanted was right in front in me. In that moment I knew I was willing to give it all to him. I nodded my head slowly as I lowered my voice whispering into his ear. I wanted him. His bluebell eyes started to shine as his voice got deeper by my embarrassing confession. He grabbed my shoulders and wondered was it really OK. I kissed him slowly, confirming it was the right moment. The sun started to set as he slowly lifted his shirt over his head. He shifted his stance closer to my body. Lifting me off the ground, he carried me into the bedroom. Taking his dominate hand, he pinned me to the bed with a sneaky grin. Nibbling on my lower earlobe, he quietly moaned, "You're about to be mine." I feel sudden heat fill my face and my heart beating out of my chest. "Did anyone ever tell you how cute you look when you blush?" he said as he tucked my hair behind my ear. I let out a quiet giggle.

Dear Mr. Suitman
September 6 was the day I fell for you. I remember our relationship starting as quickly as it ended. We weren't together for very long and yet, you left tracks in my heart. I met you my senior year of highschool in gym class. You were dressed up in a suit the day we met so you could retake your senior pictures. I remember feeling the pressure of a crowded gym room, then I saw your face. You weren't the guy that was like known to be dripping with good looks and yet, I saw you and my heart stopped. I made up excuses just to talk to you and I remember you telling me I'm just so easy to talk to. Like you have known me your whole life. You were the first guy to ever say that to me. We enjoyed hanging out together. I know why the relationship ended. It was because of me but, for the longest time I tried to make things right and to get back with you. It didn't really work though. You seemed to like me again but kept pulling away as your feelings started to show. Sometimes I wonder what you think about me? After all, I was like your first real girlfriend. Even though you probably don't want to think about me, I'm sure you do. I think about you sometimes. Not because I miss you now but, because you really appear in my dreams a lot. It is usually a dream about you lecturing me on how to improve myself in a relationship. Which is honestly the last thing I want to hear from you. Regardless, it is just a dream. Funny thing is after we broke up and I gave you a compliment that you look good in a suit, you basically started to wear one all the time. Then I asked you to prom and you told me it would be your honor to go to my prom and yet, you changed your mind. You lashed out at me one day saying that I reminded you of the old you but that version is dead now. I remember sobbing later that day in the bathroom and skipping my classes. It just hurt so much to hear you put me down in front of everyone. You called me a liar and a bunch of other names. The only time I ever lied to you is when I told you I no longer had feelings for you. Even though you did hurt me, I still found the need to talk to you. I still found myself searching for you. My friends make fun of you for always wearing that suit of yours in high school, which did help ease the pain. When we finally graduated, we were accepted into different colleges. Which I was glad for because it did help ease the pain. Then as if fate has a cruel sense of humor, you transferred to my college. You then came up to me with a smile on your face as though you forgot the way you lashed out at me and asked me how I was. I said good. I gave a short responses as I felt my heart beating out of my chest. Even after all this time you have a certain way of getting to me. I guess it is because you were the first love of my life. It's just a feeling that never truly goes away, it just gets easier with time. Sadly for you though, I moved on and got my heart broken again. Guess third time's the charm?
