Writers deserve to be paid.
Netflix is a major holdout in paying writers fair wages.
Take a break from Netflix and tell them why you’re leaving.
when you feel so lonely that when a guy gives you attention (and you already know its nothing serious) you still talk to him . And feel hollow. Talk and feel hollow. Talk and feel hollow.

Even though I abandoned you for distractions, you remained by my side, waiting for me.... What is your heart made of that loves selflessly and freely? While mine grieves when it simply thinks it is making love.
Sylvia Plath, aged 20
