I saw Toy Story 3 about 2 hours ago and, I admit, I cried at the end. I think I found it so upsetting because I can relate to the happenings in it. I have my toys stored in a basket and haven’t played with them in years. Soon, I’ll have to let them go and I really don’t want to do that. Growing up suddenly becomes something very difficult. It would be nice, for just a few hours, to go back to when I was younger and play with them one last time. Only, that would be too easy and I think even then, it would be difficult to let go. I really liked it when *spoiler alert* he was donating his toys to the girl and played with them once again. It was really sweet and touching. At that moment I was holding back the sobs haha =) .
So, it got me thinking. Sort of. I was thinking about it before, but now it’s really pushed me into talking about it. It’s kind of unrelated, but the emotion has surfaced an underlying gratitude I have which I would like to share.
I have finally come to appreciate just how much the internet does in terms of communication. All you lovely, gorgeous, wonderful people who are reading my blog now and those lovely, gorgeous, wonderful people who I have met in the past or know about now on the web, you and they are just fantastic. It’s so nice to learn about others, whether it be culture, background, current circumstance. You meet so many people on the internet. Those who are extremely talented. Those who are hard-working. Those who are police officers to those who are ballerinas. Some people are kind, some are more selfish. Some are happy, some are sad. Some come from Australia, some from London (England). They all make a part of you. A part that anyone and everyone should treasure as long as they live. Because I believe that one of the most important things in your life is your fellow humans, whether they be in your community or in a satellite. They are your brothers and sisters. They are you. I sometimes think that if everyone cared just as much for each other as they do for their family or themselves, some of the world’s problems and disasters would be averted.
Of course, I know it’s harder to do than just saying it. Although, making an effort, makes a step forward.
Your host, your friend, your fellow, yourself,
Soph.

thank you so much for posting such a long response, I read it all and I kept reading it over and over and over again lol. I’ts so nice that someone actually understands my trials and tribulations with religion and it’s comforting that someone else is going through that as well. I feel that religion just causes so much trouble and frankly I’m sick of it. I’m not sure if you’ve heard (it’s a pretty big thing back here in NYC) but there’s a plan to build an Islam culture center and Mosque two blocks from Ground Zero, and people are throwing a hissy fit over it. It infuriates me because our law preaches freedom of speech and religion and we still have these morons saying its horrible to build a mosque next to the site, meanwhile they’ve been worshiping in that building for a year with no notice. furthermore, I love how people think it’s okay to blame all of Islam for something a group of extremists did. It’s like blaming all Americans for a mass-murder the KKK committed. It’s just more racism and it’s so FRUSTRATING.
sorry, you got me rambling. 🙂
Toy Story 3 was really really good. I cried as well, I just feel like Andy is comparable to all the kids that grew up with him. Now we’re all going to college and we’re dealing with abandoning our childhood for adulthood, it’s rather frightening but at the same time exhilarating.
by the by, you code VERY beautifully. (such a weird comment). :nodd:
