Midnight In Paris lessons:)

Midnight in Paris is an amazing movie!! Everyone should see it. I saw it with my momma when she visited me in KC. It was soooo inspiring and i'm still thinking about it a week later so i had to write about it. I wrote this message actually to my friend Bre because we both loved it so much.

So here is what i learned/what i generally loved about it/how it inspired me:)

1. ive been thinking about real world after graduating and all the plans and places i could go! mostly for fun with little stress. but the biggest lesson from the movie was that you should go and do where you feel is right for you and like just "GO DO WHAT YOU WANT! WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!" sort of thing:)
2. i was overall super inspired by his independence to just decide to stay in Paris.
3. I was overall inspired by how devoted of a writer he is and just watching it made me want to write more and find things/places that inspire me to write more.
4. that whole speech by hemmingway about not thinking about death when you're with the person you love lol that whole thing was sooo intruiging to me! Like all of your fears should subside when you're with the person you love:)
5. You don't need people in your life that hold you back or criticize you just because they've been in your life forever and it's comfortable for them to stay in it like his fiancee was. Overall theme from that being like don't live the life that is expected of you or what pleases others.
6. Then there's the whole wishing he lived in a different generation. This lesson shouted at me like the "DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!" lesson:). It all of sudden became crystal clear that saying living in another generation is COMPLETE fantasy. Like yes, i say the 50's are innocent and love tons of things about it but either way, they had no internet or air conditioning or microwave or advanced medicine. And just seeing it played out how he met someone from the 20's and she didn't like the 20's and wanted to live even earlier was just SO FREAKING INTERESTING!!!! because i am totally like that whether it be wishing i'd live in the past or living too much in the future.
7. also i learned that living in the present IS interesting to someone. Like that is why it is so fun to read my journals from elementary school and middle school and high school etc, because it is so interesting to see how i thought "back in the day". While daily situations seem boring, it will be interesting to me in the future so i should journal more about daily happenings. It gave me an outside perspective that life is in fact interesting everyday...it just may take us a few years down the road to realize that.
