Your Love Story

This is Digby Pancake. What’s your favorite movie?

Me and Peanut Butter Brickle think whatever movie we see is our favorite at the time. Because our persons don’t usually watch movies. But when they do, you can better believe there are snacks involved. And so that’s my favorite movie. All of them.

But persons have more standards than snacks I guess when it comes to movies. Girl Person says she likes to see her favorite actors. Boy Person says he wants to learn something. What makes your favorite movie your favorite?

I’ve seen all kinds of movies. Sad ones.

Happy ones.

Cartoon ones.

Dog ones.

But the hardest ones I think to watch are the ones that make you feel something.

Whether you want to feel it or not. If you’re feeling the feelings, maybe you need to. Maybe your favorite movie should be the story of your life. Who you love. What you love. Your love story.

But sometimes persons are uncomfortable with feelings. Maybe they think expressing how they feel is weak.

Maybe they think feelings in the movies aren’t really real. But maybe not feeling the feelings isn’t real. Have you ever thought of that?

Do you acknowledge and appreciate that the movie of your life would be one of the best ever? It is!

Feeling something deep inside means we are alive. Not feeling just means we are existing. Are you functioning or feeling?

We can all get by with not watching movies. We can all get by with going thru life busy. But when we are ready to learn more about ourselves by feeling what we feel, how beautiful that is.

Is the world ready to feel? I don’t think so. Especially lately, when everyone has been acting strong on the outside, we are more unsure than ever. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to feel what and who we have lost. It’s ok to be sad.

Imagine you were in your favorite movie. I bet you could play the part the best. Why? Because you like it for a reason. It speaks to you. Let’s your feelings speak to you too. Hear what they are saying. And deal with them.
