Do It.
Last night, I watched Stranger than Fiction.
This is an older film (I'm just slow picking things up sometimes), so I won't trouble you with a full review; but I will say, this is one of the most charming, gripping, heartfelt films I have seen in years, and does not shy from being quirky or showing people the way they really are—which is to say, it does not shy from showing that no-one's really normal unless they're forcing themselves to be.
More importantly, perhaps, this a movie that makes you think, really, truly think, about life. About love. About your life. About the way you spend your time.
This movie makes me want to play the guitar.
This movie makes me want to run a bakery.
This movie makes me want to quit everything, to run, to put up quirky decorations in my living room and some multi-colored afghans on the couches and to snuggle up to someone and watch a great movie and to live the parts of life that matter.
I need money and I need health care, and so I pull up on the tailspin; but I say to myself and to the rest of you out there, Do It. When you see your dreams, follow them. I don't care how insane they are, I don't want to hear about how they're dangerous. It may take saving and it may take struggling, but Do It. Now.
I'm going to be saying this a lot on this blog, apparently. I'll label these posts so you can ignore them...but that doesn't mean you should.
Again: Do It.
