What happens after 'happily ever after'.

The first time I broke up with him I felt a sensation of relief. My shoulders felt lighter, my inner voice told me it was for the best. In retrospect that was a pivotal point where how much courage I could summon determined the next ten or so months of my life. 

I watched Upstream Color the other day, by the same director who made Primer, his first hit at the Sundance Film Festival. I really liked the dreamy quality of the film that entranced me for a little under two hours - I've forgotten how movies can take you away from your own life, and transport you to somewhere else, anywhere else, destination TBD. Almost like a mental vacation.
