I saw Uptown Girls tonight. Heather had rented it, and she fell asleep watching.
I didn't. I cried.
I'm really not sure why. Part of it was me realizing that I used to be sort of like that little girl. Not so uptight about hygiene, but I shut things out like that girl did. Things that don't make sense, that I can't control or fix. Things that hurt.
But I'm like the rich girl who becomes the little girl's nanny, too. I'm scared. I'm scared of being grown up, I guess. Scared of having to do everything. I know I can do everything I need to. But that doesn't make me any less scared.
And part of it was, well... one father was dead, and the other died halfway through the movie. That didn't help my emotional status at all.
It's not the best movie ever. But there aren't many movies that make me cry like that any more.
