Star Wars
It's been terrible for me this semester. I've gotten sick TWICE and missed a ton of class, and its been hell trying to stay on top of things. And above and beyond that, I'm really concerned about a ton of other things at the moment, and don't really know what the future has in store...and I'm really worried about it. I'm actually kind of depressed, and quite honestly I've been really down as of late. I may not have always shown it, but deep down...its just been super rough for me lately.
I needed something that would make me happy tonight, or something that would just bring me joy, so I decided to watch the Despecialized Edition of A New Hope that I haven't seen in a few months and for the entire time I was sucked back into a world that I love and all my worries went away. It's so fast paced, action packed, and filled to the brim with amazing effects, cinematography and stellar performances from unforgettable characters.
This film (and the franchise in general) just means so much to me and I'm glad that I could experience it again tonight. I may have seen Star Wars a thousand times, but I'm glad that even on my billionth viewing it was able to still hold up and take my mind off of things. I love this film.
