a Journey

Books, movies, plays: they speak to each of us so differently according to the circumstances we're in at that point in time. A movie which meant so much to us 6 months ago would probably not have the same impact as it did when we first watched it. Take Click for instance; it struck a chord with me then because of the idea of people choosing their careers over their loved ones; taking their loved ones for granted until it was too late... the idea that there may have been love but whatever greatness it could have achieved was snuffed out by a desire to achieve tangible returns that meant nothing at the dying hour...
And so tonight there was The Holiday; mainstream, but it rawked for me tonight, right now. The idea of getting rid of toxic relationships. It's so easy to just hold on to toxic relationships out of familiarity. Out of fear & dependence... But as I was watching it I started thinking of loving yourself. It's more than just you; loving yourself by saying "no"; by staying away from those who lie to you believing that you have no clue as to what is going on; by being brave and doing what is right, even though it's going to be difficult. And so I must remind myself...
