I cried a lot at this one. Again I might just be in a crying mood, but I don't know, my mom always thinks she has Alzheimer's. She's only 56, so she's mostly joking (I think, I hope!), but still it made me think of her.
And the Kristen Stewart character.... of course I thought of myself. I know my mom probably thinks I'm so obsessed with acting and my pursuits in LA that I wouldn't take care of her if she ever needs me to one day, but actually because I "do acting," my life is pretty open for things like that. That's the main thing that stood out to me in the movie - that the youngest daughter, who was the least accomplished and had the least going on in her life, actually ended up having the greatest, most purposeful life because she was able to truly show love to her mom.
Sometimes I think I don't have a purpose. I do babysitting and random jobs, and acting once in a while. I have no great career, no husband (not even a boyfriend), and I'm thirty-one. That's old to be not settled down or having your life together, but I know the greatest thing God is calling me to do is love, and it's cool that with my "lack of a life," I actually am more free to do that.
