| Dead Poet's Society & Mattie |
Last week Thursday, Matt (a guy a met during a white water kayaking trip) came over to my place to watch “Dead Poet’s Society”. We were walking in Piedmont park and we were talking about making the most of everything the pressures from our families to conform to what society thinks is right for us. I brought up the movie and Matt hasn’t seen it. Now, I would like to ask who hasn’t seen it? I mean everyone I know has seen the movie!!! Anyways so we went back to my place to watch it.
I cried a little bit at the end. I always do, I can really relate to the movie, it inspired me to stand up to the parents and made sure that I did what set out to do and not allow them to think what is best for me. Now more and ever I know that they loved me dearly and only wanted the best for me but I need to do what is right for me and make my own mistakes and follow my dreams. I remember the first time I watched it scared me because I could see myself ending up the same way if I didn’t do something about following my dreams and overcoming the pressure that was put on me to achieve academically. I totally understand everything that the main character went through…it was hard but it was harder live someone else’s dream.
Amazing friendships are hard to come by and I am so glad to have met Matt, because we connect as humans and we have fundamentally the same values. I am so excited by our new found bond and mateship.
I hope that we share many more special and meaningful moments like the ones experienced last week. This is what life is about - sharing special moments.
