Entry 10:FOR THE GIRLS: THE NEWBORN BUBBLE

  The "newborn bubble" is one of those things people try and explain to you before you experience it, but it never quite land until you are in it. It is the quiet, hazy stretch of time where the world feels like it's shrunk down to just you and this sweet little baby. The days blur together. Nights do not feel like night anymore. It is soft, sleepy pauses filled with dim lights, warm blankets, and the sound of gentle breathing. You feel more exhausted then you ever have before but for some reason it does not feel as heavy as you expected.  There is something beautiful about those sleepless nights. Where your house is still, the world is quiet, and it feels like you have been let in on a secret moment that belongs to only you. Rocking a baby at 3:00 am, half-awake, half-dreaming.

    After watching Fresh, it honestly made me stop and think about the food I eat every day. Like, I’ve never really questioned where it comes from, but now it’s kind of hard not to. The film’s purpose feels like it’s trying to open our eyes to how food is produced, especially the difference between big industrial farms and smaller, more natural ones. The tone is a little unsettling, but in a way that really sticks with you.

    The parts that stood out most were how animals are treated and how processed everything has become. It was honestly a little upsetting, especially seeing how different it is from the healthier, more sustainable farms. As a mom with a toddler, it hits even harder because it makes me think about what I’m feeding my child every single day.

    I think this film really does matter because it makes you more aware. It might be easier not to think about these things, but we probably should care—at least enough to start making better choices.

    Remember to invite the reader into the conversation by establishing the context before jumping right into the film/analysis. A bit more of an overview of the main concepts from the film or the reasons why readers should consider viewing it would take this post to the next level.
