A few minutes ago I left the theater after having seen he movie eat, pray, love. Again, I found myself on the same journey that begun a little over three years ago, when my friend recommended I read this book after my heart was broken. The journey in this book made me explore my own life, and what it was that I wanted in life. Since the journey with this book begun I have travelled a little of the world. I relocated my life from New York to London....perhaps not the feat that our heroine Melissa Gilbert took on, but nevertheless my own journey into how to find myself and how to find love again. My journey took me to another country, and also to places I would have never thought I would ever visit. This journey lead to friendships and adventures that I will always cherish. But one important thing that I found in this journey was myself. I finally found my inner voice, and I finally learned to love, not just to love, but to love for me and not for everyone else.
Next month will mark a year since I returned from my journey. In the past year I lost sight of what it was that i learned while abroad, I lost sight of that inner love for myself that I found out there. I lost sight of the peace that not only I found,but that Melissa found on her journey. Watching the movie made me think that its not about our sorrounding it is about what we let into our lives that makes the difference. We need to open our lives to postive energy and let ourselves shine though. It is almost a blessing that this movie was released just when it did, because just at the moment I was saved by the book, I have been rejuvenated by the movie. Who would have thought.....to new beginnings, and to never forgetting who I am and what I want!
