"You know the most surprising thing about divorce is? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, I never loved you, it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after something like that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. But of course, I must have known but I was just too scared to see the truth. That fear just makes you stupid…" - Under The Tuscan Sun
The movie was nice and endearing, and I like it for being hopeful yet not in an unrealistic or condescending way. I love the scenery with the flowers and the vineyard, and the rustic villa, with the Mediterranean coast as backdrop… It is just so lovely, I have this sudden urge to go on this gay trip to Tuscany.
Sometimes, you know, we find ourselves in some place new, whether we wanted to or not. And it is scary, but what comes next is always up to us. We can choose to be afraid and hide to where we think we’re safe, or we can take that leap of faith and rebuild our lives, even without really knowing what the future holds for us.
“They built train tracks over the Alps, even before there was a train, because they knew there would be a train.” Yeah, it is never bad for us to have faith like that, especially during the lowest moments of our lives. And who knows, it will be better than you would ever have imagined.
