a delicious (& familiar) treat

i have seen it more than a few times now but i never seem to tire of the sweet story of julie and julia. it's my pint of ice cream, my savory tart, my walk in the park; the small experience that reminds me that inspiration is worth finding and following.

over the past year i have struggled to accept myself and some of the choices i have made. at times i have insisted that it would be better to be someone else; the girl at the bank perhaps, you know the one that got a job as a teller while she was still in college, the one who usually has perfect hair, and very clearly knows how to use an iron. but alas, i am not the girl at the bank; i am a terrible planner, with unpredictable hair, and no desire to spend time ironing. but i am also someone who begs to be moved, who only wants to be affected and to have a beautiful effect on the world around me. and while i am doing my best to accept the person i am, i still need a fix every now and again. plus i love a movie that makes you want to eat more than just popcorn.
