I saw Wonder Woman the week that it was released and now I will only refer to time as “Before I saw Wonder Woman” and “After I saw Wonder Woman”. You see, the after is so much sweeter; the after had me ready for combat and anyone who knows me knows that I AM NOT PREPARED FOR COMBAT. The after… Read more →
I often wonder if my writing goes into the void and dies once it’s published. Do any of my ramblings actually matter? I’m not your average “kind of lost” 27-year-old; I am not lost, I am not confused, I am not wondering what I am doing with my life. I am sure of myself; I am a writer and I… Read more →
Here at juliexplores.com we aim to create a positive environment; I choose to share movies that inspire me and music that moves me. I actively stay away from discussing albums that I didn’t enjoy and I never bash an artist on this site. Not that I’ll be doing that now, but I felt like it needed to be said because… Read more →

I’ve dealt with thoughts of depression most of my life but couldn’t quite figure out… Read more →
What is the meaning of my life? I find myself constantly asking myself that question. Sometimes I can come up with beautiful and intellectual answers and sometimes I struggle to put a sentence together. Yet, one thing remains; I have always believed that I was put on this earth to make a difference. I’ve always had this strong feeling that… Read more →
Welcome to my rant. Look, I try to not be the kind of human who gets offended by every little thing but sometimes you see something so idiotic that an entire blog post about it is absolutely necessary. Justin Bieber is featured on Latin Artist Luis Fonsi’s new single, “Despacito”; in the song Justin sings the hook in Spanish (a… Read more →
We are living in tumultuous times; the news headlines alone, are enough to bring me into a panic. I am empathetic to a fault, so I find myself constantly crying over the news around the world. Yes, maybe I need to take a break from social media but even if I did; the world is still hurting and I still feel… Read more →
… and just like that my favorite Comedic TV show is over. Baby Daddy came out of nowhere; I don’t even remember when I started watching it, I just remember slowly falling in love with it. I’m about to make a bold statement here BUT the first few episodes of Baby Daddy reminded me of the feeling I felt years ago when… Read more →
