Real Stories Of 'The One Who Got Away'
"I fell so hard for my one that got away in seventh grade and soon realized he felt the same way for me too, but we didn't find each other until we were in our early twenties and met up after getting in touch on social media. We were together more on than off for the next fifteen years, discovering different things about each other and ourselves. I then lost my job, found out I was pregnant, made a completely bonkers decision to move in with him while his brother was still living there, and slowly but surely discovered what kind of person he actually was. After that, I lost the baby due to way too much stress and fake support from yours truly." I know it's my fault that I didn't leave and just stayed away earlier.

People Are Contrasting The "Joker 2" Box Office Flop Discourse With How We Talk About Female-Led Movies
However, it would be impossible not to note thatwas led by three women and that much of the social media commentary on it was misogynistic. Director Nia DaCosta spoke about receiving "racist abuse." As Forbes put it at the time, "The movie has been targeted by some right-wing critics who accuse the female-led film, which stars multiple women of color, of being 'woke'" — with some on the right going as far as to blame the diversity and not-male-ness of the movie's stars as the reason for its low box office.

Andres Iniesta expected to confirm retirement after emotional social media postBy PA Sport StaffAndres Iniesta broke down in tears in an emotional video on his social media in which the former Barcelona and Spain midfielder seemed to announce his playing retirement. Iniesta is regarded as one of the finest midfielders of his, or any, era and his partnership in the middle of the park with compatriot Xavi helped Barcelona and Spain to multiple trophies. As well as the 2010 World Cup, Iniesta, who was capped 131 times, helped his nation win the 2008 and 2012 European Championships. Iniesta won three trophies with Vissel Kobe and then joined Emirates on a 12-month contract last year. There was an option to extend the deal by a further year but Iniesta appears to have ended his career.

Visiting the Nightmare Realm made me feel like Little Red Riding Hood lost in the middle of the woods
The unusual sounds and dimmed lights made me feel like Little Red Riding Hood lost in the middle of the woods. I felt the same unsettling sensations when I first entered The House of Little Red, of the areas inside the attraction. Karl O’Connor, co-owner and creative director of the Nightmare Realm, says he and his wife had visited Siquijor, a place renowned for its myths and legends in the Philippines. Attending the media launch for The Nightmare Realm was like stepping out of my safety zone. Just as Little Red Riding Hood escaped the Big Bad Wolf, it gave me a chance to discover a new appreciation for the horror genre.
