"More than meets the eye" Usually, when I decide to take a moment to reflect and relax by myself, I play some video games or read manga with my feet up. But this time, I decided to take myself out on a self-love date. Heading down to the local movie theater, I wondered what was worth my time and saw this generic poster for a new Transformers movie. Thinking that this was a safe choice and deciding…
