WHIP IT GOOD.






everything about this movie...i love.
when i saw last week that it was coming out on tuesday, i got so excited i started crying a little.
(so i'm a crier. big deal!)
josh bought it for me yesterday. :)
i watched it last night and loved it even more!

when i was watching it, i started thinking a lot.
about how i want to stay young forever and always have fun.
i never want to take life too seriously, or pass things up.
i admire so much people that do this.

growing up, i always just thought about having a "normal" life.
obviously there is nothing wrong with this at all, but recently i'm starting to realize that i don't HAVE to do this.
i can live however i want.
and i really believe i'm going to do just that.
obviously i want a family and a house, all those wonderful things.
but i want to have fun and be young and silly, always and forever, all at the same time.

so many times i have been so afraid of my future and what will happen.
but i refuse to let these fears bother me anymore.
i can do whatever i want to do.
life can be exciting.
in donald miller's latest book, "a million miles in a thousand years," there is a chapter entitled:
"Great Stories Have Memorable Scenes."
remember that! please.

GREAT STORIES HAVE MEMORABLE SCENES.

  2. oh my gosh! you HAVE to.
    it's so sweet and inspiring.
    after watching it, i guarantee you will be dying to be a roller derby girl.
    at least...that's the effect it had on me.

  3. i bought it today! i saw it in the theaters when it first came out--and loved it. it made me want to roller skate even more (which is pretty ridiculous since I want to all the time anyway).

    i'm just now realizing that i dont have to have the life everyone else is signing up for. alot of my "classmates" are getting married and having kids, and i felt a little behind. but now, i'm happy to wait for the right times for those things to happen if their even supposed to. i'm enjoying being young and fun and silly :).

  4. i feel the exact same way, chelsey.
    and even though i am getting married soon, i know that it doesn't have to be the whole traditional type of life.
    i'm ready for so much adventure and fun! :)

  6. i haven't seen this yet, but i still want to.

    i completely agree with you about finding that balance between having fun and being silly while still being a grownup. it's a hard balance to strike, but i've no doubts you'll find a way to do it beautifully :).

  7. I love Whip It! It's a fabulous movie.

    I also agree with you about deciding one's own future. I worry sometimes that I'm wasting my youth and not putting myself out there. Your blog post reminded me that I need to go out and make those "memorable scenes"!
