Come Forward: December

 We are finally at the end of 2024. 

I am not happy to see the end of the year but I'm not mad about it either. I have a lot of things going to happen in the new year and I can't wait for it to get started. 


There are also things coming up the make me nervous, and also dreading the start of the year. However, the are the same things that I now once I am in the middle of doing them, they will be fun. 

First, let's get this last movie out of the way for being authentic. 


Miles Teller plays a young man who wants to be a famous drummer in a band. His instructor, J.K. Simmons, is unruly and a tyrant who wants nothing more than to win. 


Look, I have heard some great things about this movie, but I honestly didn't really care. I thought it was ok but not the most wonderful movie ever to be made. 

I personally thing how the instructor motivates people is overbearing, there is a lot of motivation in the movie. Some of it because both characters are self centered, and general awful human beings, but they have a lot of motivation. Yet, Teller's character gets to a point where everything goes wrong in his life and he gives up playing the drums for a time. However, one day he does pull them back out and tries again. 


Trying one thing is my tip. When everything feels like is bad, crazy, and never going to happen, just try one thing. Write one sentence, find one puzzle piece, something the part that is really overwhelming is picking up where you left off. 

It may not get you going full force, but at least you said you worked on it. Sometimes that's all that needed.
