5/1/2019 0 Comments LOve Actually After creating the title I realize that it’s the title of a movie and one that I’ve actually seen. Haha. Though, this post is going to be about Five Feet Apart which I actually adored. There were some slow parts, and the setting was stagnant (in the hospital), and to be honest there wasn’t a lot of character development...now that I think about it, the movie wasn’t all that fabulous but I loved little aspects of it and oh my gosh the music. I went with a friend of mine and we laughed more than anything else but we also shed some tears so if you can go on a Tuesday for 5$ then it’s worth it. Anytime else, I wouldn’t highly recommend.
Though I just wanted to talk a little bit about it because the aspect of love in today’s world, or should I say generation, is such an abstract concept-at least to me. So often we discuss the idea of online dating, or the “hook up culture” which is so prevalent in today’s society but what about the fairytales and Cinderella stories we used to dream up of as little girls? Are they completely lost or do we still have a chance at finding our Prince Charming? I think deep down we all want to find love; to be with our significant other for all eternity because that’s how we were created-as emotional beings meant to connect with other emotional beings-but the fear of being foolish or vulnerable by putting yourself out there puts so many barriers between us as people which leaves so many disconnected and single. Not saying that single is a bad thing and that every single person is lonely and sad and pining over a guy/girl they want but can’t have, but what happens when you have the money and the car and the dream job? When you have the nice house with no family? No one to turn to, to go home to, and even if you don’t want kids, I believe soulmates should always be someone to have. Best friends are great but if they get partnered up, where does that leave you? Just a little food for thought. I don’t really have any answers or advice, I just thought I’d rant and rave and talk about these things with you guys. In a way I tie it into Five Feet Apart only because when faced with impossible circumstances and nothing else to loose there’s no way to be anything than who you are and to put yourself out there because you don’t have the time to waste. I think some of us forget that we are mortal and our time is not our own. The more time we waste being scared of something that has no real power over us only leaves us more unfulfilled in any aspect of our life. So, risk it all like you have nothing to loose because you may not be dying at the moment but we will die and you don’t want to go through this life alone. Fall in love, believe that there’s someone other than yourself in this world willing to do the things you want. Soulmates do exist. Song: Don’t Give Up On Me Until Next Time! With love, Arianna
