Uncertainty

I watched this film the other night, and I have been thinking about it since I saw it. I ponder the choices that I have made (and by extension, have failed to make) and wonder how each little difference could have been handled.

This film doesn't answer those questions, but it asks another one.

What if you are exactly where your supposed to be? I am not suggesting karma or some universal force that places you exactly where you need to be when to need to be there. As I explained to TEA the other day, the universe doesn't care.

If I had gotten on the flight, or made that phone call, or held back when the lesser angels of my psyche had encouraged me to say the thing that I knew would wound the deepest...if I had been less me, would my life be terribly different?

Maybe for that moment, but, as I was writing this, I received a call and a couple of e-mails from people who I care about and I don't want my life to be different from how it is on the macro level.

Maybe that is my issue too...

Anyway, watch the film. It is on IFC and available on NetFlix. Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives a wonderfully nuanced portrayal of a late 20s transplant to New York and Lynn Collins is just hot.
