The Help

What a beautifulfilm.

The Help

"You is kind. You is smart. You is important"

"Every day you're not dead in the ground, when you wake up in the morning, you're gonna have to make some decisions. Got to ask yourself this question: "Am I gonna believe all them bad things them fools say about me today?" You hear me today? "Am I gonna believe all them bad things them fools say about me today? You hear me today? All right? As for your mama, she didn't pick her life. It picked her. But you, you're gonna do something big with yours. You wait and see."

The Living Proof

It's gonna be a long long journey
It's gonna be an uphill climb
It's gonna be a tough fight
It's gonna be some lonely nights
But I'm ready to carry on
I'm so glad the worst is over
I can start living now, ooh
I feel like I can do anythin'
And finally I'm not afraid to breathe
Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can't deny the truth
Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me ooh
I'm the living proof
Oh yes I am
Thinkin' back life's been painful
Yes it was
Took a while to learn how to smile
So now I'm gonna talk to my people oh
About the storm oh about the storm
Oh so glad the worst is over
I can start flyin' now oh
My best days are right in front of me
And I'm almost there
Cause now I am free

Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You can't deny the truth
Cause I'm the living proof
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me
I'm the living proof
I know where I'm going hey
Cause I know where I've been oh
I gotta few stars that showin' hey
I'm gonna stay strong keep goin'
That's the way that I will
Anything you say to me
An everything you do
You can't deny the truth
Cause I'm the living proof oh
So many don't survive
They just don't make it through
But look at me yeah yeah
I'm the living proof

Nothing about my life's been easy
But nothing's gonna keep me down
Cause I know a lot more today
Than I knew yesterday
So I am ready to carry on
Oh Lordy mmmm

I decided to stick on a film tonight while I worked through some overdue paperwork...

Boy, was it a great idea. It's made me think in all the positive right ways, I feel like going out for a run, I might just do that...

I'm really looking forward to waking up tomorrow and grasping everything it has...

"cause I know a lot more today, than I knew yesterday"...

"my best days are right in front of me...
