Travel with your heart, not leave

The ketut in Bali handed Liz a painting: keep your feet on the ground, you will feel like you have four legs, so you can stay in the world; don't look at the world with your head, look at the world with your heart, this way You can understand God.

There are so many complicated things in the world that we have to analyze and sort out, but instead we forget how to obey the voice of the heart. Occasionally hear the voice in my heart, but the noisy life gradually makes people lose the courage to believe.

-Having a baby is like getting a tattoo in your face, you kinda wanna be fully committed.
Such a fully committed, Liz can't do it, looking at her husband who is always hot for three minutes, the disappointed and lonely eyes have clearly said , love, has gradually disappeared.
-Having dreams, Stephen, great, fine. Do that, just pick ONE.
-OK, I pick one. I pick YOU!
Liz is such a complete deserter. I cannot agree more, Stephen doesn't hate you, he's just heartbroken.
-The only thing more impossilbe than stay, is leaving.
In India, Liz recalls dancing at their wedding, so beautiful and so happy, they used to swear to each other to love each other until death separated them. She's wearing a sari, scenes change, people are different.

Fleeing from one relationship to another, Liz himself understands that this is not love. But as always, when her feelings changed, once again, she chose to leave. Say goodbye to David on the doorstep, just a big bag. David never kept her, for the first time, he said:
-Hey, if you stay, we go out for India food every night.
Get in the car, Liz can't help urging, go.go.go.
Green trees and red walls, but full of sadness.

Italy is the warmest and brightest place I find in the whole film, the food, the handsome guys, the love, and the joy of Italians doing nothing. The camera loves this place, the church in the sun, the alley with a sense of history. Slow motion from the gate up to the balcony on the second floor with greenery.

There is a segment of Liz sitting alone in an open-air restaurant enjoying pasta, with the opera's background music just right. She was enjoying herself like a child who stole a toy from God. dolcee far nirentee~

But those wounds, the pain is too deep to let go. . . Destruction is a gift, and destruction is the path to change.

Love is always dangerous. Maybe it’s like meditation, it requires you to muster up the courage to give up all the things in the world that are familiar and reassuring to you, put aside all the tossing thoughts of this and that, and be willing to regard all the experiences in the journey of life as a kind of revelation, and take all the encounters in the journey All of them act as mentors in life, confronting and forgiving the unpleasant parts of themselves in real life. Follow the voice of your heart and follow the person you love on board. It's that simple.

Laugh, enjoy food, meditate, be satisfied with God, and love those you love.
-Sometimes to lose balance for love is part of living a balanced life.
