Eat Pray Love
I liked the movie a lot more than the book. I couldn’t get past India aka Pray. But in the movie, there were times that were so heartfelt and sad. And there were moments of intense joy, other people’s joy.
I think the part that really resonated with me though, was when Elizabeth is telling her friend of her decision to go to these 3 countries and her friend is saying that she has a support system here and friends who love her. And she replied something along the lines of, yes, but do you feel my support and love for you? She couldn’t give anything, because she had nothing to give. I guess I can relate to that level of loss, loss of oneself. I’m not sure what enabled me to get myself back, but I’m feeling much more myself. And I’ve regained some kind of balance, perfect in its imperfection.
And I really like this movie poster. I love how it’s off center and has a bit of the nun in it. Makes it a little more meaningful than Julia Roberts sitting on the bench by herself.
