Hello readers, the name is Rome Fortune and I will now be contributing to N&R to add a male perspective to this female driven site. I won't do an introduction of myself as my posts will do that for me. So without further a due.... let's get it started.
Wow, i have no words for this trailer alone. I don't think there will be anyone who will watch this and say that they cannot relate. I am so eager to see this movie. The fact that it was directed by Tyler Perry and Oprah says enough. It is about a young girl who faces challenges from not only the outside world but also at home. They are not ordinary challenges such as getting good grades, or making enough money to sustain a desired way of living, but the challenges that a person can face with themselves like self love and worth. Without that any human being can become a hazard to themselves. I encourage everyone to watch this movie. Just watching this trailer enabled me to relate in some ways and even realize that my actions and words can effect someones perception of themselves and lives. Love is powerful, a simple smile or "how you feeling?" can change someones negative energy to a positive one.
I used to have this song on reply back when i first heard it. It was pretty much one of my inspirations going through high school while learning a bit about independence and the real world. I vowed to myself that i will go beyond the normal 9 to 5, major in nursing,teaching, working for some asshole doing something that i'll die doing type bullshit. Just watching people everyday living life like that is depressing. The sad thing is that education today is beating this idea into these children's heads. In Elementary school they told us that we can be whatever we want to be from an astronaut to a rockstar and we were so enthusiastic about it then. Now, from high school to college its about playing it safe, give up your old dreams, and do what everyone else is doing. Too many people today fall into that trap and live their lives with what ifs and regrets. What we living here is temporary, I'm just tryna live it up and enjoy it with the time i got.
