Just Like The Movies

"Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along. "

Pretty, right?

Someone else said once, "There's beauty in the breakdown." Which, theoretically might be true, but if my cat could talk, I don't think she would have anything poetic to say about what she witnessed last night.


It's funny how in the movies, when people hit rock-bottom there's that moment of despair - the main character is on the floor in her bathroom, stringy hair in her face, bawling with circles under her eyes, drunk or ODing and soaking wet. After that, she starts to get better, and through a movie montage, we see her progress. In the real world, that girl ends up on the floor in her bathroom at least 10 times. Over and over again, like a freaking addict, ripping her own life apart...

No wonder movies are much easier to watch than real life.
