if you haven’t seen away we go, you must.  i don’t know why, but for whatever reason this movie really meant something to me.  whether it’s because i felt like i knew how these characters felt or whether it was just because it made me feel human, i can’t exactly say.  but whatever it was, it made me realize something.  it made me realize that being human, trying to figure out this thing called life and having no real clue as to what the hell we are doing, doesn’t mean that we are all fuck ups.  and even if we are, if we have people that love us in the midst of it all, we’ll be ok.  the biggest thing that stood out to me in watching this film was just that.  this couple had nothing figured out.  they didn’t know what they were supposed to be doing, where they were supposed to be, how to deal with and handle all of the out of control things going on in and around thier world, but they had each other.  and as cheesy as that sounds, that’s all they needed.  that’s all they needed to know.  that someone loved them.  and i’ve realized that when we have people around us, loving us, and people to love in return, we don’t really need anything else.  sure, life gets messy and shit happens, but it doesn’t have to destroy us.  and just like in this film, we see that when things get tough, we find out who our real friends are, who we can depend on and who we know will stick with us even when we start to lose it.  and it’s because of people like this, that we can even see the beauty in the midst of it all.

i guess i just felt lucky after watching this.  lucky because i have people to love, and people who love me deeply right there in the thick of things, treading in all the muck of life.  and we don’t care.. we don’t care that none of us really know what the hell we’re doing.  but we’re doing it together.  and that’s all i care about.
