2.) GO ON THEN, LOVE by SAID THE SKY feat. THE MAINE

“Go on then, love / And show me your heart / 'Cause you are enough as you are and I'm awestruck.”

“Til it’s 2:12, you turn up at my place / Headlights out, end of the driveway / Ain’t no harm in a little bit of conversation.”

18.) DARK CLOUD by NEVERTEL

19.) ALL THAT I'VE BECOME by JONNY CRAIG

“Used to see me on my worst days / No longer stuck inside my old ways / Used to see me as your worst case / No longer searching for my own fate.”

CINEMATOGRAPHY

Nancy Drew season 3 is literally keeping me going throughout every week, each Saturday morning getting to watch the new episode is honestly my current highlight, not gonna lie. When did I get so damn invested in this show?

Also, in the meantime in between episodes of that, I pretty much binged Squid Game while in bed with a stomachache and while it was not quite as remarkable as everyone hyped it up to be, it was still extremely solid. It had a few pacing issues, but all in all, I enjoyed it.

Another show I did enjoy despite a few minor issues here and there was season 3 of You. They really came up with a concept, went with it and did a pretty awesome job, which I for one did not expect to be honest. However, I really wish they would've stuck to their guns regarding the end of the season, I'm not sure season 4 is going to be as refreshing because of certain things that happened.
