We and the City
I recently watched Gone with the Wind and I feel like I’m Scarlott. I tend to not know what I want and I sometimes follow things that aren’t even “things”. I’ve always been told that I love the concept of falling in love and not actually falling in love. It’s somewhat true. I don’t ‘fall’ in love. I just fall in love with the concept of falling in love. Anyway, I related a lot to the character of scarlott even though I felt she was being a complete and utterly selfish bitch throughout 3/4 of the movie, I still related to now knowing what I want until it’s gone. Not knowing what I want at all. Going after what I think I want no matter what challenges I’d have to overcome AND the regret I feel at the end of it all.
When I watched the movie The Holiday yesterday, I felt exactly like I feel every time I watch a romantic comedy. There’s always that feel good feeling after the movie that makes me feel like crap! I want THAT love and not the love that I see and know. I mean, love that makes a girl who doesn’t cry, cry! (a la cameron diaz) It’s just an empowering feeling that I feel doesn’t exist anymore.
You know how in the beginning of a relationship, tiny things make you smile and make your heart flutter. Like, getting “good morning sunshine” messages when you wake up, getting an unexpected call before/after class, and getting a cupcake when you are PMS’ing. Later on in the relationship, these things lose their meaning and only major gestures tend to make you smile like hearing “I love you” for the first time or having the person you’re with give up something like smoking for you. I’m just upset how we take the small things for granted! I love good morning messages! They really make my day.
I feel like some people are cut out for relationships and some people aren’t. I’m definitely the latter. I just don’t understand relationships. I’ve been in them and they don’t make sense to me. Long-term relationships are hard! and don’t even get me started on long-distance. I just like everything short and sweet. At the same time, everytime I meet someone who I think suits me, I tend to look at the relationship from a “compatibility” angle. Add to that the fact that I get bored incredibly easily and can’t sustain a relationship if my life depended on it! (B, I can’t believe we’re related sometimes :-p)
It’s weird how people have such high standards for the kind of person they would fall for yet when they fall for someone who lacks in one of those areas, they’re so hasty to disregard it. I ,for one, can’t stand smoking but no matter how much I say I would never be with a smoker, I never hold up.
I don’t understand why being single, when you’re in a relationship, seems so appealing and being in a relationship, when you’re single, is all you want!
The entire time I was watching Gone with the Wind, I was thinking of how that girl Melony (melly?) is what most Kuwaiti guys want to marry. Everything she did was proper and right and socially acceptable. You can’t hate her! She is perfect and even though she doesn’t have the sex appeal and the character of Scarlott, she’s just so elegant and charming that you know she’s going to make any man who marries her happy. Scarlott on the other hand, 7adha 3aneefa! She has personality and charisma and she’s selfish and succesful and she is what I like to think of myself as. Yet she isn’t as nice and caring as Melly is. As you see, this causes quite a dilemma! Sa7 ina Scarlott tizawejat 3 times in the movie but if you’ve watched the movie, you know what I mean about Kuwaiti men and Melly. Kalba.
I’m in love with Robin Thicke. He is an artist like no other. Every song makes me love him even more. From the obscene to the downright sweet. Lost without you is one of my favorites. It’s the song I want my future lover to sing for me. LovAH. (3ala golat Carrie on Sex and the City)
