These are the lessons on life and love I learned from Prime Videos new movie, ‘Picture This.’
And its a nice thought, right?
But in 2025, that doesnt really feel like a good message anymore.

Sure, love is wonderful, but theres so much more to life.
Thats why Im loving the message from Prime Videos new original movie,Picture This.
Sure, its a romantic comedyyoull get the romance youre looking for.

But, even more, its about making your life the way you want it.
So, in honor ofPicture This, heres 5 reasons why you should choose yourself first.
When you choose yourself, you go after your dreams.
InPicture This, Simone Ashleys Pia is an accomplished photographer who already has her own portrait studio.
Sure, its struggling, but shes started going after her dreams even before the film starts.
When you choose yourself, you dont bend to family pressure.
Listen, your family is likely going to want things for you that you dont want for yourself.
For Pias mother, its marriage.
First of all: That doesnt sound like any fun at all.
Secondly, this isnt their lifeits yours.
Choosing yourself means living life exactly in the way you want despite what your family might think.
And the best families want that for you, too.
When you choose yourself, you let your passion guide you.
Pia gives an amazing speech in this movie that I really dont want to spoil for you.
Youll exude confidence knowing that whatever you care about, its okay to care.
Choosing yourself means being clear about the things you love.
When you choose yourself, you know when someone isnt right for you.
Even with this news, Pia isnt afraid to end these dates when she knows they arent right.
Choosing yourself means getting out of there when you know it isnt right.
When you choose yourself, it’s possible for you to trust your opinion on love.
In the end, you need no one elses approval but your own.
After all, you wouldnt let someone into your life if they didnt appreciate everything thats amazing about you.
Choosing yourself means having high standards and knowing when theyve been met.
