Good Intentions

I shared here weeks ago how I was Stepping Into Wuthering Heights.

That book stayed with me… Still on my mind. It won’t let me be.

While I was reading  I couldn’t stop thinking about one moment, that small moment when Mr. Earnshaw brings Heathcliff home. Just like that. He didn’t even give an explanation. Just… “this child has no one, so now he’s mine.”

And look at what that one decision turned into.

It honestly messed with me a bit.

Usually, we like to believe that if you do something kind, it will lead to something good. Right?… Simple. Clean. You help someone, things get better. But that’s not what happens here at all. That one act of compassion ends up stirring jealousy, resentment, and eventually so much damage it spills into the next generation.

And it made me think about real life.

I’ve had moments where I meant well… really well, but things didn’t turn out the way I imagined. Sometimes people misunderstood me. Sometimes what I gave created expectations I didn’t even know I was setting. Sometimes it just… complicated things.

This doesn’t mean I was wrong to be kind… I think people are just not simple.

Everyone is carrying something. Pride, insecurity, pain, history. So when you step in with “good intentions,” you’re not stepping into an empty space, you’re stepping into all of that.

That’s what happened with Heathcliff. The kindness was real, but the environment wasn’t healthy… And that changed everything.

I don’t think the lesson is “don’t be kind.” That feels too harsh and even too defensive.

If anything, it’s this: good intentions are not enough on their own…
…What happens after matters. How people receive what you give matters. The space you’re giving into matters…. And sometimes, even when you do everything from a good place, things can still go sideways.

It’s kind of uncomfortable to admit that, but it also feels honest.

So maybe I’m learning to hold my kindness with a bit more awareness… Not to stop giving, but to understand that it doesn’t give me control over the outcome… I guess that’s the hard part, isn’t it?

Book lovers deserve better than Netflix. The School for Good and Evil looks gorgeous, but it stitched together six books and two prequels into a single two-hour film. We’re breaking down every major change and what it cost the story.

Nosferatu (2024) Movie Review | Eggers’ Nosferatu Balances Beauty and Terror

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is a masterclass in gothic atmosphere, with visuals so hauntingly beautiful they could be paintings from another century. But does its mesmerizing aesthetic make up for inconsistent performances? This reimagining of the vampire classic both dazzles and stumbles in its quest to unearth timeless terror.

I get it now, the 2010 #PercyJackson and #TheLightningThief movie is baffling if you know the source material but decent if you dont.
