eat, pray, love.

went to see Eat, Pray, Love starring Julia Roberts and written by Elizabeth Gilbert.  it was everything i expected and more. the movie is as colorful as gilbert's writing and the writing is the blatant mimic of life.  even the movie had some memorable quotes. my favorite line is "sometimes you have to lose your balance in love, so that you keep your balance in life." ain't that the damn truth?

we should not apologize for who we are and who we are destined to become.  we simply cannot apologize for the way we feel.  though i'd rather not hurt anyone, living for everyone else can be exhausting.  sometimes, we have to pick ourselves up with everything we own and leave.  and wherever we find ourselves, we need to stay there until we're ready to accept that pain is a natural part of growth.  and forgiveness? i haven't mastered that yet. but i plan to.
