I walk in. Find my seat. Attempt to get comfortable. Silence my phone and wait. My thoughts jumble together of everything I need to do or should have done-reflecting on the week behind and the week ahead.
Then the lights dim. The projector starts. Image after image is on the screen.
This is when it happens. This is when the feeling of utter calm and peace courses through my body. I sigh in contentment and become completely absorbed in what is on the screen. I relax and get lost in the storytelling.
Sometimes I laugh; sometimes I cry; sometimes I cringe and roll my eyes, but no matter how good or bad the film is, I am happy.
Love,
February

This is so beautiful: I could even imagine myself sitting alone in front of a screen and watching 🙂
And stories are amazing! 🙂
um this is wonderful! so glad you joined us and so glad to be able to read this. i like your sigh of contentment at the beginning of the film—not just the end as if it were a reaction to the film. and i love this: “Sometimes I laugh; sometimes I cry; sometimes I cringe and roll my eyes, but no matter how good or bad the film is, I am happy.” <3 <3 <3

You joined!
Immersion into a story, whatever form it takes, is magical isn’t it?

This is my husband. He loves going to the movies, and goes by himself more often than with me. It calms him.

I jokingly say that going to the movies is my version of church. It feeds my soul and really does just calm me down.

“But no matter how good or bad the film is, I am happy.”
I feel this, so strongly. Movies were my happy place long before I found dramas… ☺️☺️☺️
