  I’m not a huge movie fan; most films are unbelievable or too pretty or too fake or too meaningless. And even though I am not all that big of a film enthusiast, I watch a lot of them. Because for every dozen or so stinkers like White Chicks or Legally Blonde 2, there is a movie like American Beauty.
Robin is close enough with me to know that I would fall madly in love with this movie. It’s like when Jenny Lewis scream-sings, “So fucking beautiful” in With Arms Outstretched; it’s so pure . It’s honest... so applicable to me. And maybe to everyone to a point. “…there's so much beauty in the world.
Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.” Affectionately… Anna
