What is The Glass Girl
The Glass Girl follows 15-year-old Bella, who uses alcohol like armor — or anesthetic — to cope with grief, family pressure, the chaos of adolescence, and loss. Her life gets unravelling fast: her grandmother (the one person who didn’t ask things of her) dies; her parents are divorced and emotionally unavailable; she’s the “go-to” in her family.

After a blackout at a Thanksgiving party lands her in the hospital, Bella is sent to rehab, where Glasgow forces her to confront what she’s been trying to escape — and whether recovery actually means anything if the world around you stays the same.

You know that kind of tired that sleep can’t fix? That’s burnout — and for soft girls like us, it hits a little differently.
We’re the feelers, the nurturers, the ones who want to show up for everyone (and somehow still look cute doing it). But somewhere between late-night overthinking and early-morning alarms, we forget that softness isn’t weakness — it’s what makes us human.

October came with heartbreak and healing. The month started off steady enough, but life quickly became overwhelming when my cat’s health declined. Her kidney failure progressed, and her quality of life began to fade. After speaking with the vet, I made the incredibly hard decision to have her humanely euthanized. Back in September, she’d spent time at the emergency vet — that’s when I learned about her kidney failure. They were able to stabilize her, giving me a few extra weeks with her that I’ll always treasure. Saying goodbye still hurt deeply, but I take comfort in knowing she’s no longer suffering.

Sometimes, life just calls for a comfort movie. You know the ones—films (or in some cases, miniseries) that feel like a warm blanket, a safe space, a pause button for your brain. They don’t need to be critically acclaimed masterpieces—they just need to resonate. They remind you of who you are, they take you somewhere familiar, and they help you reset.

Over time, I’ve realized that my comfort movies aren’t just random favorites—they’re a reflection of my personality, my humor, my anxieties, my dreams, and even my obsessions. They tell a story about what brings me peace, excitement, or just that small spark of joy when the world feels heavy.

Here are a few of my ultimate go-to comfort movies, and why they’ll always hold a piece of my heart:

There’s something about fall that makes me want to slow down, grab a blanket, and lose myself in a cozy game. The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and evenings are longer—perfect for settling in with a controller or keyboard, a warm drink by your side, and a little escape into another world.

Fall gaming isn’t about fast-paced competition or high-stress challenges. It’s about immersion, comfort, and small moments of joy. Whether it’s exploring magical forests, tending to a virtual farm, or solving puzzles by candlelight, these games are perfect for embracing the season.
