As a kid, I didn’t understand English for the first few years of my early life, but I LOVED movies and soundtracks. In retrospect, I think I clung onto the music so much more than most kids because it helped me understand the plot in the absence of dialogue.
That being said: The Incredibles was one of my favorite movies (which we watched on our big box TV) because of how exhilarating and suspenseful it felt as a kid— all thanks to the amazing jazz soundtrack. Highly recommend listening to it, and if you haven’t watched the movie it‘s completely fine; imo this soundtrack is one you can vibe and enjoy without any plot context

I specifically listen to the how to train your dragon soundtrack 1) because I like the series and 2) it's super motivating. superhero movie soundtracks also work but I would just pick your favorite movie and see if it works for you

when i was in middle school i read this book and the main character listened exclusively to movie soundtracks because it makes them feel like they’re in a movie and that one really struck a chord within me and i’ve been a movie/tv/video game soundtrack devotee since, here are some favorites:
-moonlight
-if beale street could talk
-fantastic mr.fox
-the place between the pines
-arrival
-the goldfinch
-the imitation game
-little ms sunshine
-amnesia: a machine for pigs
-arrival
-the leftovers
-nocturnal animals
-succession

With all of the arcs, there’s a real advantage to listening to soundtracks in studio. I started listening to Desplat’s soundtrack for Birth a month ago after rewatching the movie (and realizing how the entire movie relies on the soundtrack) and now I’m hooked on his entire discography. You know something good is gonna happen when the shape of water pops up.Also strangely love all of the French Dispatch songs (might even watch the movie some day)

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.

As someone who has terrible object permanence and can NEVER remember the existence of something if I can't see it (this includes objects AND goals), it was quite literally the best way to keep awareness of my long term goals, even when life started falling apart and getting hectic.
At the end of the year I always look at my vision board and realize that I genuinely fulfilled a good majority of the goals on there, and it's so sweet
Always keep your eyes on the prize yall and always dare to dream !!!
