57/365

Last night, I saw a film that resonated with me in the funniest way. Boyhood is a movie that was filmed over a twelve year period, following the same people throughout that time as the main character, Mason, takes the journey from boy to man. As I was watching, I could easily identify the age of Mason because I had been through the same areas of pop culture. Boyhood is the perfect film for people who are around nineteen to twenty-two. Those people have been through the same trials and tribulations as Mason. His struggles of boyhood with resonate with you. Trust me. 


I often talk about how unique and different that you are, and while I do believe that, there are similar struggles that people face. Mason and his sister face abusive parents, bullying, and all of the other problems that many children have faced by the time they turn eighteen. Boyhood ends with Mason beginning college and, right now, many people that are starting at a university will identify with him heavily. I definitely think that you should make a trip to redbox and watch this. It's worth it.

catch you later,
