have you ever watched a movie and lost yourself in the story, found yourself feeling every movement, every word, begging for it not to end? that was me when i saw this movie for the first time last night.



it was literally food for my soul. and i think my soul needed some nourturing. life beats you down quickly if you let it. if you forget. for me it was a little reminder of the bigger world around me that gives my life value, meaning. this was the story of a boy who was told he was crazy, that nobody cared, that he'd never find what he was searching for...but nobody could take away what was inside him. truth. hope. he listened and the earth spoke. brilliant, beautiful, the perfect blend of sad/happy/excited/intrigue & never a dull moment. i found myself completely engulfed in the story. i'd like to shake this writer's hand. i can recommend it with no guilt because it's completely clean and the moral of the story is something we all need to "listen" to a little more. never give up. don't settle. be who you are and don't let anyone take that away.
i hope you will take a couple hours soon and go see it. let me know what you think.

I haven't seen this yet. But heard it was really good. I need to see it. You should see Bucket List. You'd like it. It's funny...and sad.
