Is it Rose's grandmother?
I recently watched Get Out, the best motion picture of 2017 until I see The Fate of the Furious.
Since the release of the movie's trailer in 2016, countless (meaning I don't want to Google them and count) thinkpieces and pontifications have been written, recorded, and distributed about multifaceted meaning of Jordan Peele's masterpiece.
Now you get to read my take, specifically as Get Out relates to Dream Boards.
"Oh, I see what you're doing."
If you haven't seen Get Out, please schedule a time to see the movie, purchase your ticket, then continue reading my post.
If you have seen Get Out, let's talk about it! Tell me your thoughts in the comments!
Back to you and your Dream Board and how it relates to the movie.
"This better be good."
Do you have a voice in your head telling you what to do?
Who you should be?
Why you're not good enough?
Why you shouldn't want more out of life?
Why you should simply be grateful for what you have?
Why you should stay in your place and stop getting too uppity?
Are there times when you take your true feelings, your hopes, your Dreams, and you stuff them down so deep that you don't know which way is up?
"Yes."
It's okay.
You're not alone.
We'll work on that.
I'm an American woman, born and raised in a country where "All (white, Christian, landowning) men are created equal" and where female citizens should expect the person sitting in the Oval Office to "grab them by the pussy."
It's okay not to know exactly what your Dreams are. It takes time, self-reflection, introspection, and naps.
And, sometimes, it takes a painful audit of what and whom you want in your life.
Chris: Your relationship with Rose no longer brings you joy.
Look at the title of your movie.
I'm out of relevant gifs, so I'll leave you with this word of advice:
GET OUT.
No, jk, jk!
Okay, okay!
Here's my real advice:
Your voice should be the only one in your head.
Dreamers, who's in your head? What goals are you afraid to put on your Dream Boards? Share your hopes and fears in the comments, or email me at iHaveADreamBoard@gmail.com.
