good luck exploring the infinite abyss

"you gotta hear this one song, it'll change your life i swear." ~ sam

"fuck, this hurts so much." ~ andrew
"i know it hurts. but it's life, and it's real. and sometimes it fucking hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got." ~ sam

for some reason it took me a very long time to ever getting around to seeing garden state. when i finally did my first reaction was immdiately "where have you been all my life?"

i love sam. i love andrew. i love the emotion and the music, the love, the healing and the heartbreak, the big abyss and the screaming into the rain. it has become one of those films that mean the world to me; that i just get, and that somehow just gets me right back.

what we miss

"you'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day, one day and it's just gone. and you can never get it back. it's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. i mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. you won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. i miss the idea of it. maybe that's all family really is. a group of people who miss the same imaginary place."
