Teacher: “George, you’re going to have to dig deep in there, to figure out what you want to say”George: “I don’t have anything to say”.Teacher: “FIND SOMETHING!”
I think that’s everyone’s challenge in life. Finding that one
thing that speaks to you; that one thing that you feel passionate about; that
one thing that sparks emotion in you. If everyone knew this one ‘thing’, we’d
all be set. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Maybe this idea/person/cause/whatever, will inspire a single
moment of expression, like a painting or story, or maybe it will inspire a
lifetime of work. Unfortunately, this thing could take a lifetime to
discover...or you could discover hundreds of these ‘things’ throughout your
lifetime. Who knows.
I
guess I haven’t found my 'thing' yet...or maybe I have, but just don't
recognize it. Either way, I feel the urge and need to find something that moves
me, that makes me tick and drives me to say something about it. All I want, is
to know what I want... Sounds weird, but is true. But at the same time, I guess
it's the journey that will lead me to this discovery. Maybe the journey will
shape it. Or maybe something random will trigger it. Maybe going into life
sciences will shape my passion for medicine and health, or maybe taking a
course in Anthropology will set suddenly off sparks in my mind. Maybe there
will be one person along the way that changes everything. I guess the quest
begins...
As for the movie, The Art of Getting by...I recommend this to anyone who loves a good rom-com. This movie has a story-line that actually makes you think, with characters that are unique, intellectual, and have normal problems. Two 18-year olds with distinct personalities living in New York city struggling with their future in college and their families, trying to figure out where they stand on the fine-line between friendship and relationship. With heart-tugging struggles, inspiringly warm happenstances between guy and girl, mixed with the comedic instances of everyday life, this movie is beyond relatable and very encouraging. I wish that someday, I will find a guy that is as weird, adorable, genuine, smart and charming as George (Freddie Highmore)...ah, that’s my ‘thing’! Freddie Highmore makes me want to scream from a rooftop...just kidding. Sorta.
