Brent and I just got back from seeing the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I did not realize going into it, that it is based off a book written by ; the same writer as The Great Gatsby. I remember reading that book in high school and absolutely loving it.
For those who do not know what the movie is about, here is my short explanation: a person is born old and as he gets older, he gets younger in appearance. As time goes on he struggles with looking like an old man, but having the mind of a child and then grows younger and younger. (I wont spoil the movie for those who have not seen it, but just know it is worth seeing) Here is the original short story.
Well, as the movie went on, it showed just how important it is to live life to it's fullest. That no matter what the outcome may be, the most important thing is to make sure you are pleased with the decisions you made. That life is full of disappointments and death, but also pleasure and life. You watch those you love pass on but also get to enjoy the times before their passing. All I can do is hope that I live the life I want, and when the time comes for me to pass, I can be truly happy with the life I have given to myself.
