precious

I saw Precious the other day.
I can't get the images out of my head.
I knew I needed to see it, even though I'm so sensitive I usually keep myself away from really disturbing media.

The fictionalizing of a story is so powerful because it lets you get up close and personal in a way that can't really happen if the people being portrayed are real. I feel like that about this blog--since my name is attached there's only so much I can say. I'm hyper aware of the limitations here.

I say what I can say.
I am thinking of the movie. Appreciating my life. Wondering how it is possible for my life and lifestyle to exist when so many people are suffering so hard. Its hard to swallow.
