Guardians of the Galaxy was so good. Surprisingly funny, solid characters, and a
superb soundtrack — definitely lived up to all the great reviews I've been hearing.
This one memorable scene had me in tears. Groot was extending himself, creating
a protective shield like ball out of his own body. This act of sacrifice was so
touching to me, I could have been sobbing in the theatre had I been alone. I have
been unusually emotional lately, it's weird. Is it because I'm getting older?
Am I finally letting my cold, emotionless, aloof self go? Why am I becoming more
sensitive? What is going on. This past Monday I came across a photo of
these elephants:
I saw this pop up on my Pinterest feed at work while mindlessly pinning wedding
related photos as I should be, and just paused and stared at this for a good minute.
I then began thinking what magnificent creatures elephants are — how emotionally
mature they grow with a memory so impressive they continue to fascinate the world.
I sat at my desk struggling with my emotions, to cry or not to cry. The answer was
clear. Imagine passing by a crying girl sitting in front of her monitor with an
enlarged photo of elephants on Pinterest — mm, no.
A feeling of guilt came over me during the movie when I thought about the chaos
and pain in Iraq. Can I really be enjoying watching this movie right now?
Something felt wrong about that. Sigh...
