Since Chris has been in my head for sometime now, it only felt right to make my next "Friday's Finest" post on the book. =)
INTO THE WILD By Jon Krakauer
I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong... to measure yourself at least once
Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past
What if I were smiling and running into your arms? Would you see then what I see now?
It's the first quote that hits a nerve. Maybe it's because of the way Emile Hirsch says it in the trailer. OR maybe it's because Chris really seemed to believe in those words. Either way.. is it really about how strong you feel and not how strong you are? I think in some instances yes and in others no. The fact that he really believed in it though and then acted on it, shows a lot of heart. Watch the trailer HERE -- I get goosebumps everytime I watch it. Which I have been doing a lot lately - replaying it over and over again. Wanting to experience the movie but not quite brave enough for the full thing. *sighs*
