The words of a writer are the most powerful, and "Film for Her" is no exception.

I admire those who have power with their words. Orion Carloto is a poet who does just that.

It has been a while since I have let myself read a book, as I rarely have time to read anything that is not a textbook.

I wanted to get back in the route of being able to indulge in the words of others and find a connection within it all.

I recently purchased "Film For Her" by Orion Carloto from my local Barnes and Noble. I put it away quickly. Although I have not had the opportunity to read "Flux," I was intrigued by this specific release and decided to wait until 2021 to read it.

Orion Carloto invites readers to remember the forgotten and reach into the past, find comfort in the present, and make sense of the intangible future.

After reading "Film for Her," I could not help but want to take and romanticize the small things in my life and continue to find joy in the seemingly uneventful moments.

The film Carloto includes is one reason why this book has such power.

Now, I am not one to judge the quality or level of professionalism of the pictures. Regardless, it has made me appreciate the photos that infiltrate the space in my phone. To put it simply, I am in awe of the photos Carloto chooses to include and how a snapshot can hold memories.

I have been glad to begin the year with such a moving book, and this is one that I will keep within arm's reach.

Carloto was able to write for herself while giving the power of feeling to others. Being able to have an insight into her life was a pleasure to experience behind the pages.

I plan to go into 2021 by acknowledging the past year and getting ready for this year.

I am motivated to give more time to create more memories with those I care about and continue to learn. I could have easily read Carloto's book when I purchased it, but I had a feeling that I wanted to wait and see what this piece of text could bring me. I am glad to have waited.

I endlessly ponder about opportunities and the future to the point where I lose sight of the present. Now, I want to focus on what I have now.

What I ultimately got out of reading this beautifully crafted book was the importance of "now." I now know how precious the moments we are currently having in life are.

Get "Film for Her" on Amazon.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
