#63.5: Middle of the week because I got lost in three different things
Hey you! Are you resting?
Hey you! Are you resting?
Because I’ve just emerged from consecutively watching three whole things (two shows and one movie):
The Witcher (Fantasy, quick-paced and magical)
Hellbound (Korean dystopian drama, SO GOOD, a bit gory)
Don’t Look Up (movie that’s just so on-the-nose, wouldn’t even call it dystopian unless you consider what we live as dystopian)
That’s why this poetry prompt compilation is coming in the middle of the week. Because it’s the part of the year where I'm genuinely confused about what day it is. I’m embracing this break like no tomorrow because I’m learning that you can’t predict what’s going to happen next. 👀
