I like turtles!

I love to see Keira Knightly, and Chloë Grace Moretz In a movie together (-) it's pretty cool! I'm a fan of both actresses, so once I stumbled across this movie in my suggested column, I bought the film on dvd for like 7 bucks; and I can assure you it was well worth the 7 dollars.

On the other hand, I can find similarities in being viewed as a "Laggie," because there are certain aspects of adulting I have not yet mastered, or fully embraced. Similarly, through Meghan's experiences you noticed her withdrawal from the convention's of typical adult behavior because of the pressures that come with it.

Everyone expects you to find a career, start a family, get married, have kids, and send them off to college on this repetitious cycle. But the reality of this norm is that this system isn't intended to work for everyone. People have different purposes in life, and this doesn't always have to align with the traditional way of doing things.

Therefore, this movie touches base on not allowing human confinement, and public assertions to dictate how you should live your life. All of the expectations, obligations, and lofty judgments are sometimes suffocating to the point that it becomes a burden rather than a motivator.

In addition, laggie refers to an individual lagging behind, but doesn't necessarily mean that it is done to self sabotage. It could be interrupted to taking time to reflect, and self evaluate one's journey rather than just doing things aimlessly and impulsively. That's why it's so important to realize that everybody's timing is different, and regardless of how far along you are, life is a blessing (-) not a burden. It should be lived one moment at a time.
