It left my hair feeling really nice and soft...
So i just got finished watching Leap Year. Cute movie. But as I got to the last five minutes of the movie I realized how stupid and unrealistic the movie is. Anna travels to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend of four years. And in three days meets and basically falls in love with a total stranger. After she is reunited with her boyfriend and he proposes to her...she realizes she is madly in love with Declan, a men she only knew three days. WHAT THE HELL?! As I'm thinking back on movies others come to mind just like this one, for example Letters to Juliet. Some plot, girl has long time boyfriend which for whatever reason is absent most of the movie, girl meets a new guy, falls madly in love and realizing that's who she wants to spending the rest of her life with. Granted...its just a movie but this is the foolishness we are absorbing in our minds. And granted the girls relationships with there longtime boyfriends were not perfect (one proposed cuz it would benefit him and what they were doing and the other was self absorbed). These movies portray that you will be happily ever after with someone that you barely even know. For some reason it just bothered me. What happened to being and staying with the one you are committed to? so when every time you encounter someone you are attracted to you throw away everything you built with that person? I'm a person that has come from a good two parent home who set a great example for married. But I'm convinced somewhere between the media, entertainment sources, and the dysfunctional people we encounter... is a HIGH reason why our relationships and marriages are so freaking dysfunctional.
Slight disappointment would describe my thoughts and feelings right now. Granted my expectations of the situation were not high at all. I took it for what it was. But I looked forward to the experience, an experience that was slightly disappointing and unable for me to place. But maybe in the aftermath... I'm over reacting and over thing thinking it. There are always...ALWAYS two sides to a story and my perspective is just one side. Quite honestly, I'm ok with it. Experiences, good and less desirable make me the individual I am today.
