You've Got Mail is classically beautiful in every sense. If you haven't watched it, you need to stop reading this and watch it NOW! It's on HBO's streaming application.
This movie is full of life lessons, and no matter what phase of life I was in, there was always something prevalent in my current situations. To me, this movie is about change. About traditions changing, life-changing, love changing, changing your mind, and sometimes even your career.
It's about right and wrong; it's about growing as a person and adapting to your surroundings.
I can watch this movie repeatedly and still, feel the same way I did when I first watched it. Nora Ephron knew how to masterfully twist a story until it came to life, winding its way through your soul.
Not an actual Christmas movie, but you can catch me watching it at the start of November because this is MY holiday movie. It's deemed my let's get back to the basics, let's get into Christmas this year, kind of movie.
But this year I realized I just didn't have the heart or the nerve to even decorate for Christmas. I didn't go shopping for anyone or save presents, I didn't have an ounce to give others this time.
I felt like Kathline Kelly this year, grieving over the loss of something big, about several decades of memories coming down to one moment, several days of just pushing on, and many, many tears being cried.
I did, however, get a last minute spark and went out amongst the masses to last minute shop for the first time ever. It was nice, mainly because as I reminded myself that I waited so it's my fault, waiting in line was fine, there wasn't a lot to pick from and that was okay too.
What I was most okay with, was letting myself realise that I did like certain aspects of Christmas, but as a Wiccan I don't need to decorate and celebrate like I used too. That it's okay to go off the cusp and do new things.
All in all, thanks to Nora Ephron, she knows how to heal my soul.
