Laying out my personal manifesto to help clarify life and things

Came in with zero expectations, got leveled by how much I ended up loving this movie. How did "KPop Demon Hunters" become one of my favorite movies of the last 15 years? This is my humble, 20,000-word attempt to answer that question.

As someone who has battled chronic pain, I'll begin with the most important benefit weightlifting has given me: a huge decrease in my everyday pain.
