I don’t know how it took me all these years to finally watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but oh my god. It is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched. Ever.

This magical gem is a poignant portrayal of the inevitable transience of life. For me, it served as a reminder that though the skin we’re in will wither and our world will ebb and flow, nothing ultimately matters more than the moments of joy we carve out for ourselves.

I am so fucking grateful to be alive.
