Whenever I have had cause to share with someone who was troubled and feeling alone at a thought or a feeling they had - I have often said "You are not the only one." "You are not alone." "There are others like you." And I was not lying. I truly believed that. I believe that there is someone else in the world who has been there, or done that, or thought or felt the same thing (or at least something comparative). Yet, I did not believe it for myself. Why?

Be warned, this blog entry may contain some spoilers! I felt it would be hard to discuss this movie without giving anything away. Don’t read this entry if you wish to see the movie first.
While watching the movie I noted down some thoughts, things I noticed, stuff like that. I thought some of you may be interested in these things… If not it gives me a chance to mull things over.
