If you haven't seen this movie ( I highly suggest you stop reading this blog-because it's going to give some crucial plot information away) watch it, then come back and see what I have to say about it.
What attracted to me most about this movie, besides the witty exchanges between the main characters, were the moments the movie gave me. It gave me such beautiful moments. People always throw out the old "that only happens in the movies, that doesn't happen in real life." But this is where I beg to differ. Your life, this awesome gift, is what you make it. After watching this movie, I asked myself, "Are you creating the life you want? Are you creating the magic in your life that you desire?And, are you giving movie moments to the people you love?"
I couldn't imagine losing any of the people I love most 'too soon.' I couldn't imagine having time with these people cut short, or what I would do if they left this Earth without me being the best -daughter,girlfriend,sister,grand-daughter, friend, etc.- that I have the potential to be.
Just like everyone else, I get bogged down with life. I get bogged down with self centered-ness. I get bogged down with stress and various other things that deter me from being the best version of me. I'll be perfectly honest when I say that sometimes I entertain the selfish thought "well I try to do nice little things for others, oorrrrr I try to surprise people with little gifts, orrrr I put so much work into doing this for them...yet, I never get surprised. I never get called. He/She doesn't put in as much work for me." It's the wrong attitude to have and I am going to try my best to eradicate it from my life permanently. Ya know the quote, "Be the change you want to see in the world?" Well, I've decided I want to be the change I want to see in those closest to me.
Which brings me to my interesting concept.
I plan to bring magic. Yes, I said it, beautiful-irreplaceable-out of the ordinary-movie moments to the people I love. This is not impossible. People have just forgotten that it is.
The two people I plan to work most on this with (besides everyone in my life) are my mom and my boyfriend. These people usually take the brunt of my moods, the brunt of my arguments, the brunt of my temper, and together we shoulder most of the negativity that I find in my life. I am not proud of this, nor do I like that this happens, it just seems as the crazy world turns this is how things end up. I am going to try my very hardest to work on this. These people mean a great deal to me. Things aren't easy in any of our relationships right now, but with a little faith, a little elbow grease, and a lot of patience, I'm sure things will always find a way to work themselves out.
I am a hopeless romantic. I am a believer in all things good. I am a poet. I am a lover of rarities. I am eccentric. I am naive. I feel too much, but I am me. I don't know many who view the world as I do, and I believe that magic, romance, or beautiful happenings aren't just something you watch or read about. I believe you can create these things and take an ordinary life, and turn it into an extraordinary one.
Be a memorable. Beautiful, fantastic, odd, irreplaceable person to everyone you meet. We all only have one life to live. More importantly, we all only have one life in which we can give.
