A year has passed since I started living in my husband's parents' house. Her husband resembles her deceased mother-in-law in a methodical personality, the exact opposite of her free-spirited father-in-law. Her husband's personality was reflected in her night life, and she was only given light sex. After another unsatisfactory day, she was caught masturbating in the bathroom by her father-in-law, who mistook him for forgetting to turn off the shower. She told me to wash it once, but on the ovulation day of the next month, my father-in-law approached me immediately after the couple's work.
Season three of Netflix’s "You" has finally made its comeback! Was it worth the wait? Well…I would not say so. It felt like a bit of a chore to get through. But, as I am somewhat of a completionist, I eventually saw the season through to the end.

Ricky Staub’s Concrete Cowboy, based on Greg Neri’s novel "Ghetto Cowboy", tells the story of a young teenager forced to adapt to a new lifestyle.
“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates. Now we see our contemporary realities and, just being honest, it makes a sentiment like this seem SO overtly far away….perhaps even impossible….to accept or believe could be. It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.
Through its morbidly humorous storytelling, Wednesday tells a tale of a world divided that explores the manifestation of generational trauma in its protagonist Wednesday Addams.
