the kids are alright

ana and i watched this movie today and it was painful in its perfectly rendered awkwardness, in its display of what adult life holds, the difficultly of love. we both got a little bit teary. what is it to love someone when all you want is to not feel so alone? what is it to care for someone when all you want is laughter? what is it to trust someone when all you have is faith? what is it to go forward when all you have is the past? what is it to believe in god when all you have is earthly? how can we make our way forward?
