I watched the movie Love and Other Drugs last night...probably one of the sadder movies I've seen since the Notebook, and that's a pretty bold statement. I was taking a break from studying and just wanted to watch a movie and fall asleep, so I rented this movie. It was so good, it was about a guy (Jake Gyllenhaal) who is a drug rep and openly sleeps around, and he meets a girl (Anne Hathaway) at a doctor's office and they both agree to have a strictly sexual friendship. Then, after a while they both start to develop feelings for each other but Anne Hathaway is constantly pushing Jake away because she has early level one Parkinson's disease and she thinks he is going to leave her when her sickness becomes too much to deal with. It was a great movie, I really enjoyed the humor and Jake and Anne had a really phenomenal connection and their characters were very believable.
Even though it may seem easier to run from your problems...the only way you're going to become a stronger, more wise person is if you stay and deal with the problem. Try and fail as many times as it takes for you to finally succeed. When you are stuck in that moment when giving up seems like the only option, take a step back and think of all the reasons why you wanted this one thing so badly in the first place, and I promise you'll have a change of heart. I sure did!
Just a little hope for this rainy Wednesday...
"May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through."
-Irish Blessing
