real women have curves
i just watched the movie real women have curves. i've wanted to see it for quite some time, and thanks to netflix, it has now been delivered to my doorstep. i'm actually seeing a lot of really good movies because of this.
anyways, i was recommended this movie a while ago. at first it kind of upset me, because i didn't know what the movie was really about. judging by the title, i thought they were recommending it to me to feel better about myself. granted, i'm not a supermodel. but i've always been comfortable with the way i look. so i was actually kind of offended to have the movie recommended to me.
at first, while watching it, i was thinking the same thing, remembering this recommendation. but when it ended, and i actually sat down to think about it, it wasn't just about that. it was basically about female empowerment. and while i'm not normally all hardcore about the feminism, it's really just a good, strong message about being able to do whatever you want, if you put your mind and heart to it. and so now i can understand why the movie was recommended to me, and it is something i will now recommend to anyone, female or male.
tonight was just a very uplifting night. after that, i just came in and sat down to listen to music. the vines "get free" came on. that song always makes me feel good, because it triggers such a specific memory, and makes me think about a person who i truly appreciate, someone who i don't always do a good job keeping in touch with, yet somehow, even though i still don't know them that well, has such a good-heart that i know they are always there for me.
