Do you have what it takes?

I cannot stop watching the trailer for Julia & Julie...or is it Julie & Julia? A movie base on a blog by Julie Powell who immensely found light through her "dead end" life with the help of the Julia Child's culinary book "Mastering the Art of French cooking". Starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, these two characters' lives intertwine without even knowing or being connected to each other, one way or another.

Something about this movie just triggered by perception of the similarities of what the protagonist Julie (Adams) is thinking and feeling that she was not living life.

The idea of being lost or being unsure of the path you're taking is pretty much right off the bat for me. Let's face it, no one wants to be doubting about what their purpose in life is. I am graduating in two weeks and the life I intended to live barely hits the mark. I mean, how can I accept a degree that I am not on the way to fulfill? I have heard words of encouragement, phrases of encouragement like "You are still young" or "Just be patient", or "It's because of the economy", but when it this state, in this situation, I cannot help but question myself. My intentions. Where I am heading...

My passion of life seemed to have fluttered away. I am all for making money now or trying to get a full time job to have money and eventually help my parents with the finances...and maybe have my own place. These are my dreams now. But it is not holding out to well for me. It is not holding me in place, to capture that dream of making tons of money. I don't think that goal is so weak that I continue to dwell back in uncertainty. I have to be passionate about something again to keep my head up.

I've always loved art. Always. But I want to learn something new. I am not saying that I am an incredible artist, I just want to get out of the norm. That comfort zone.

My mom always tells me to learn how to cook. Should I follow in Miss Powell's steps? It wouldn't hurt.

Should I?
