oh boy

saw 'into the wild' tonight. it was a good and touching book, but i find myself short of words to describe how the film made me feel. it is not a bad or dissapointed feeling though. the movie was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. i feel a bit of distress and maybe some sadness mixed with hopelessness. but it is all with a good amount of newly revived appreciation for the world around me. the funny thing is that when i feel this way, it often is too powerful of an emotion for me. i am talking with amber about this right now. so i will go but there is more thoguhts to come.
