i watched this movie over the weekend and it fucked me all up. really. i had to turn it off when the dad said:
"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."
(sidenote: my next comment is not to induce pitty but to illicit your thoughts on the matter at hand.)
what the fuuuuck?? i've done this - the whole falling in love and being deliriously happy bullshit. and i've done the rational love thing as well. AND EVERYTHING GOES TO SHIT ANYWAYS! what's the fucking point? do people get married because they're so desperate to be with someone? and then they just make it work so they aren't lonely anymore?
does anyone else feel this way? it must be me that sucks at love.
