little miss sunshine

i was hoping to see olive getting crowned and the whole family getting all happy and jumping and making the whole trip all worth it. but she didn't win. and who's to say that the family was not happy? why must we always win to be happy?


many times, it's the small things that we do together, the not-so-nice things, the "unplanned" things, that last forever. those things make a family realise that there is a family and we're all part of it.

everyone has a role in the family and all of them played their parts well. this is a good movie, and of course, not everyone's going to be able to see that. most, unfortunately, will say it is boring and unglamourous. and i've learnt to realise that it isn't worth it to insist and push one's points across. they just don't get it and it's ok to leave them alone.

have a sunshine day, in your heart.
