One of the reasons why I looooved the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, was the message that rang through towards the end. So beautiful and hopeful; it’s enough to make me want to kiss its writer – Eric Roth, on the mouth.
Just imagine you discovered your real father was someone you never met. Then imagine you found a letter addressed to you that read:
“It’s never too late… or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.. There’s no time limit, start anytime you want...change or stay the same...there aren’t any rules...We can make the best or worst of it...I hope you make the best...I hope you see things that startle you. Feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you challenge yourself. I hope you stumble, and pick yourself up. I hope you live the life you wanted to...and if you haven’t, I hope you start all over again.”
I still haven't seen that film yet! (terrible at getting round to seeing things) But that quote is incredibly inspiring and now I am going to add B Button to my Netflix so thank you!
