Day 2-Movies

Day 2 - a movie that helped you get through the hard times, or one that jumps out at you after your loss.

I really enjoy movies. I'm not exactly a chick-flick movie watcher per se; I actually tend to like the boy humor movies better. I like action and adventure movies, anything with super heroes, anything with Jason Bourne or James Bond. Before Stella I used to be able to watch more genres. I could sit through a dramatic movie or a sentimental one and focus and enjoy it.

Since Stella died, I can't concentrate. I get bored more easily. I can't watch movies where kids or babies die anymore. I can't watch movies that require a lot of concentration.

Also, another issue with movies is before Stella came along we did a lot of our "lasts". You know-"this is the last movie we're going to see out for a while" and "this is the last time we're going to go to this restaurant for a while". After she died and we felt that horrible "we have to get back to living" feeling, we didn't want to go to  the movies. We felt like we shouldn't be there. The first time we went to the movies after Stella died we saw Hot Tub Time Machine. We went in the middle of a weekday and it was almost empty. The movie was dumb and funny and just what we needed. But it will always be the first movie we weren't supposed to have time to see.

Since then we've watched countless movies. Some out, mostly rented. I don't remember half of them. Movies have become a way to zone out and forget about the sadness and loss.
