Finding my way through Eat Pray Love

ok so i've mentioned before that i like to read the books before i watch the movie so eat pray love was no exception and i was not disappointed. the movie was wonderful but that is to be expected with julia roberts but it was more than just a great movie it was seeing someone experience the feelings i was going through and knowing that even though this was a movie it was based on someone's life so part of those feelings were real. so no i haven't been divorced but i have woken up in the middle of the night feeling completely void of feeling, passion and wondering what i am suppose to do with this life. i have fallen on my knees and begged God to give me some form of direction just a little and then wanting to get up and run away from everything that seems norm. so seeing this movie allowed me to realize i'm not alone not everyone is cut out for the american dream some people are destined to create their own dream and the realization of that is a terrifying thing. when its your own there is no road map so how do you know if you are doing it right? you don't but here's the thing i believe that when you get to that moment where your spirit is at peace you are on the right track.
what you think i wouldn't make a love reference of course i am so in the movie liz runs away from the american dream and everything everyone has told her whole life is what she is suppose to do and in going against the grain she became someone she didn't even know she could become and helped others along her journey. here's what i realized love is no always about another person because not everyone is destined for that path but if you can find something that you love enough to be passionate about then you have achieved what many of the world cannot.
