I watched the Garden State today. I hadn't seen it in a long time, and I'd forgotten how beautiful it really is. Whenever I watch it, it's like a reminder to just live, that life is in the details. I think so many people go through life with a filter - not really seeing or hearing or smelling, just kind of passing though rather than participating and experiencing. We can only be certain of this one life, of this one chance that we have right now to have experiences and feel what it is to be alive. I don't understand how people can waste that.
Actually, to be honest, I do understand it, because I did it for a long time, and I still catch myself doing it at times. It's so easy to get caught up in our minds, to constantly be thinking or remembering or analyzing or planning, but what's the point of that really? All we have, all we've ever had is this moment.
