Gee damn!, or the Philosophy of Holly

I've been recently rewatching 'Breakfast at Tiffany' (it was the 4th time, I believe). I prefer the novel, to tell you the truth, but the film certainly has something irresistible about it (either Audrey Hepburn as Holly or some other je ne sais quoi). Every time I watch it (or read it) I wonder what makes Holly Golightly's story so exciting. Isn't it utterly true that all of us secretly long to adopt that très fou lifestyle of hers? It's not about being a 'lost soul', it's about not caring about things too much, not getting used to your own life. And there's more to it: I love when people follow their passion. I don't mean one should go where the wind may take them. There's always an amount of crazy dreams one would never think of fulfilling. To take up flower design and become a flower girl, for instance. Imagine your own little shop full of exotic flowers, floral decorations, lovely bouquets and a smiling flower girl surrounded by all this beauty. Isn't it enough to make one happy? This is an illusion anyway but how divinely nice it would be to live up to your own desires, n'est-ce pas?
P.S. Bonus: the film's most lovely moment.
