Finally got to watch it – and I loved it!
Not surprising (that I loved it); the “lessons” found in the story seem to stem from a similar perspective/take of life I personally have – so there’s nothing not to like about it hahaha. I just found myself nodding everytime they would deliver some line containing a “lesson.” Lines like these:
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
In fact, ’twas almost freaky; for each and every phrase in that paragraph, I could probably bust out a URL of a post I had written in the past that had a similar thesis. It’s a shame that it’s a movie, and ultimately will be treated as such – we need more real life examples for it to catch on hahaha – that, and people in general should stop being so damn afraid to take chances.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away – Anon
We only live life once – make it count.
