Changeling

     Last night I had a hard time sleeping. My sleeping hours have changed and because I had slept four hours in the afternoon I didn't fall asleep when I went to bed at midnight. When I figured it was useless to change position and roll from side to side, I decided to get up and take a shower and when I did so, I was fresh enough to stay awake for another 2 hours. I was wandering around the house thinking what I could do, when I came across this move named "Changeling" beside the television. I was tempted to watch it and I did. I'm so pleased I chose to watch it because the story was really moving.
     Changeling basically means a baby secretly exchanged for another, especially a stupid ugly child left in place of a beautiful clever one, supposedly by fairies. The movie was based on a true story. Some police officers were trying to convince a mother, who had lost her child, into believing that some other child, other than his boy, was hers. She was so courageous that despite all their efforts to persuade her, she didn't lose hope in looking for her own son. "Never start a fight but always end one," she said.
     Has it ever happened to you when everybody around you denies what you believe in? While you know you're wise enough to make decisions they go on trying to prove the only important thing is what they believe. The same thing happened in the movie "The Flight Plan," again, people were trying to deceive a woman into believing she was delusional. Such movies motivate me. I come to understand that life is worth fighting for and I strongly reprimand being so stubborn and inflexible in one's beliefs and thoughts.
