i saw 'valentine's day' today - the movie. after 'love actually', this was the probably the second movie filled with so much of love, everywhere, love of all kinds, kinds we all wish to go through someday. there were heartbreaks, people falling in love, people falling out of love, lies, betrayals, acceptance, realizations - all. it again made realize how love is beyond certain physical aspects. it's all about how that person makes you feel. it's about not just loving someone for things that are easy to like about them but also love them for things that are not so easy to like about them.
the guy asked his friend - how did you make your marriage work? the friend replies - i married my best friend!
the wife confesses to her husband how she had cheated on him and regrets. and yet he was the only one she had always loved. 'some truth make everything else feel like a lie..' - having said that the husband walks away.
why is it that we never ever realize the importance of something when you have it around you - all the time? why is it so difficult? why do we take things and people, honest, lovely people for granted? why do we regret all of it later? why is it not easy to just 'let go'? why is it difficult to love back people who genuinely love you? why does one have to love a two and two falls for three? whey do we most hurt the people we love most? why isn't life just like a movie, a lovely Cinderella movie, where you only have happy endings, where the hero always wins and the guy and the girl meet where you can dance and sing when you happy and cry shamelessly when you sad. where you could have retakes and just fix things like it was fixing your make-up?
couldn't there be a better signal when you found that one for you? and not just let him go away --- fighting your paws out
