For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
--Benjamin Button: [Voice over; letter to his daughter] From The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Comment: Between playing with K, nursing the baby and trying to feed myself, I watched this long but highly affecting film. Now it could be my heightened emotional state, but I cried throughout the whole damn thing. I was particularly struck by Benjamin Button's advice to his daughter. It really struck a chord with me and I thought it was sound advice for a parent to give a child.
