Summertime blockblusters flood our TV screens, billboard ads, and throughout the web. So far this summer I have seen Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides, Bad Teacher, Larry Crowne, and Transformers 3. All great movies I will add and are definitly worth the money to see. But, while these movies are placed in different categories they all offer the same chance at escaping reality. Your mind enters another world, you're another person, you all the sudden have a different attitude and these feelings carry over through the night until the morning when you wake the same person as you were yesturday.
The story of Larry Crowne truly inspired me and made me realize that while it may seem that life is passing you by with nothing to offer perhaps it is because you are letting it. It is great to escape into the films and allow them to fill you up but there are lessons to be learned. If life is passing you by then you should get up. If life has nothing to give then stop asking and waiting for things to change. Get up and start making changes because it is only you who can transform a mediocre life into one that is meaningful and fulfilling.
