Now, I am not eloquent with words, nor can I usually say how I feel. But after ending my day in somewhat of a funk I knew I didn't want to just be home on a Friday night on the couch. Too much of that! I didn't want to spend money and go shopping (which possibly would leave me more in a funk) so why not try a good time waster. The movie theater. I did face my fears and saw a movie by myself a few weeks ago, first time ever. And while yes it's awkward at the beginning, I actually enjoyed myself. Plus who would go see Glee in 3D with me?!
To save myself from a humiliating story of how I went and saw a movie by myself on a Friday night. This 21 year old invited my roommate and "foster mom" to come along. She gladly obliged and I had a partner... OK to the movie part. I'm not good with adjectives but this movie was touching. Movies like this make me wonder, how could we have ever done that to another race of people because of the color of their skin? I left heartbroken and inspired that the world has come so far, yet we still have so much more to go.
I don't want to get up on my soapbox but this movie reminded me that not to treat anyone as less than human. We are all people and I am constantly appalled by those who choose to put down others. I highly recommend this movie. Don't walk.. Run. Just don't forget your box of tissues, you'll soon find out I'm a crybaby but usually for good reason.
Hi Molly :)
ReplyDeleteI've been following your talented sister's blog for a long time and I thought I'd see what your cute self is up to.
1. How was Glee? I really wanted to check it out but with preschooler starting, chasing a toddler and not being able to get comfy with a 7 1/2 month preggo belly I haven't ventured to too many movies. Love all the music :)
2. And agree, doesn't it just BLOW YOUR MIND how cruel people were or rather some still are to others. Besides just the color of skin, culture, disability, etc. It's good to know there are nice people out there who care about everyone :)
3. Enjoy your blogging adventure :)
