The Best Movie of 2014

The beauty of Boyhood to me isn't that it is an amazingly well acted, directed, or scripted, it's that the director and cast had a vision and stuck with the same project for 12 years. Sometimes it's not doing things expertly that matters most, but staying committed and persisting that leads to a beautiful payoff.

Follow your Bliss

Inspiring quote from my 10th grade English teacher.

"Walk, or swim, your own journey. Follow your own bliss. We are each responsible for living our own lives. If we defer that responsibility to others, we are merely living shadows of their lives—and neglecting our own. The universe needs us to be ourselves. No one else can do that for us."
