After watching No Strings Attached in bed last night, i decided to make a list - a list of things that i had learned over the course of my life so far... It was an interesting list, ranging from light hearted things such as "iPhone 4's are most definitely NOT waterproof." to deeper things like "you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret, it may change your life forever." I think as teenagers we experience so much in our adolescent years, and sometimes we don't get enough credit for it - we are expected to perform well in exams, get on with our parents, have a social life, have a boyfriend/girlfriend and keep them happy, whilst keeping ourselves happy... It's a juggling act, and of course at times it becomes way too difficult to do, so we then drop everything, or lack in one or all of those areas listed above. I know life is hard and some people have it worse then others, but why isn't life easy? I of course have answered this question before to friends saying "otherwise it would be boring..." Which of course is right, sometimes it's hard to remember that and sometimes boring is good. Well, in my opinion!
So i guess you're wondering what i thought of No Strings Attached - I'll put aside the fact that i fancy Aston Kutcher, and say it was such a good film, i thoroughly enjoyed it from the minute it started to the few tears that ran down my cheek at the end. It really highlights that everything gets more complicated when emotions are thrown into the situation, if you go into a situation with the mind set I'm using you, you're using me it works really well, both in it for their own needs/reasons, but everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before one or both people involved will develop feelings etc. Yes it sucks, so it means that you can only be in that situation for a short amount of time. Maybe that's a good thing? Not getting attached to someone, or relying on someone - otherwise when things do eventually end, you end up in a huge heap on the floor, doing a Bridget Jones, not knowing how to recover from what feels like the worst feeling ever, like your world has come to an end.
I hate relying on people, because at the end of the day - you came into the world on your own (twins, triplets etc. are an exception) so you're gonna leave on your own, everyone leaves you e.g. death, loss of a relationship/friendship, moving away, drifting etc...
What a cynical view, but it's true. In the words of Mr Marley, "truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you've just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." One of the truest things i've ever heard. The sad reality of people, relationships and trust, ah well, to make yourself feel better; all you need is best friends, family and a good cup of tea... In the end everything always sorts itself out, not matter what the situation is. Always try to remember "everything happens for a reason" even if you can't quite see the reason yet, you will, in time. I promise -- broken promises are the most dreadful things, so i wouldn't promise it unless i knew i was a thousand percent sure.
Can't wait to catch up with even more friends this half term, changing schools has really benefitted all our friendships, either making or breaking them - and i'd like to say the majority of them have made me SO much closer with people, happy, happy. Eeeek. Half term - definitely what the doctor called for!
Sorry for the emotional cocktail of my blog today... Haha, the next one will be more consistent.
Have a good one.
