The art of getting by

I have had this whole day to myself. with the grace of joshy I managed to almost spend the entire day without talking to anyone and just think about what has been going on.

Ive watched shows that are supposed to give you an alternative outlook to life. 'The art of getting by' taught me that we all think that life is meaningless sometimes. If the end point is death, why try? Which made a lot of sense to me before I knew where the movie was headed. We just have to find meaning to carry on. for the people we love. Even if what we are doing seems meaningless to us, the happiness of the people we love accounts for everything else.

Then I watched 'Eat pray love' which I know I am a little slow in catching but it taught me just as much and just when I needed it. It made me wonder though, if that's just all we need in life. Comfort food, a prayer to calm ourselves now and then and someone to love. in my opinion Julia Roberts wasn't that screwed up in the first place so it must not have taken her a lot to find peace.

I really liked both shows though, because both taught me to be brave when it comes to love and hurt is inevitable. I especially love the part in 'Eat pray love' where she talks about the ruins in Rome. but I guess that's incomplete and I have to read the book to get greater understanding of what Elizabeth Gilbert really wanted to bring across to her readers.

But that's that. for now I'll just go back to what i know best.
