perché no!

I spent most of my day today watching movies and doing homework. Yes I'm serious, I literally watched 5 movies (2 of those were the same movie.....I wasn't paying full attention the first time), but while I was watching them I encountered the same little bit of jealousy during every movie. This sounds dumb, I'm aware, but I was jealous of all the cool things these people in the movies could do and got to do! Here is a list of the movies I watched;
-Percy Jackson & the olympians: the lightning thief (Go ahead judge me)
- The Box (I envied absolutely nothing about this movie, it was horrible)
- The Great Mouse Detective
-Percy Jackson.......again......
-Letters To Juliet
In Percy Jackson, there was a lot of fighting, and even though i do not ever want to be in a fight with Zeus or whatever, but I was jealous of his seriously cool talents. I know I have talents, God gave each and every one of us, but I haven't ever really invested time into any of mine. How ridiculous is that? I mean come on Ele, God gave me a talent, just gave it to me, and I'm not thankful enough to put time and effort into making it stronger and putting it to good use. Ridiculous. So during that movie I decided that I needed to invest more time into finding my talents.
The movie The Box just creeped me out a lot. So that movie doesn't get a paragraph.
The Great Mouse Detective........okay so nothing about this movie really made me jealous, it was just one of my favorites as a kid. It made me miss being small.
And finally Letters to Juliet. What a wonderfully beautiful movie. It just made me want to see Italy and other beautiful places like that! And I decided, why not!! (ps-thats what the title of this post means, its why not in italian) Why don't I go somewhere beautiful and experience culture? Why don't I impact others lives in a great way? Why don't I give all I can to make others lives easier and better? Why don't I find my talents and use them to make me truly happy? And the answer to all of those questions is "I should" and "I will",  I'm still young and I need to have adventures and I need to do something amazing. So here we go! It might be a bit ambitious, but its worth trying.

mmmkbye!
