"And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong"

'The Rose' - Bette Midler<3

The world aims to tear us apart from the people we want to be close to.
Think of all the movies, books, songs about this.
Even the real life stories you've heard.
And there's all that crap about after overcoming the struggles and love never being easy and it wouldn't be worthwhile if it was so easy.
I'm sorry but that's bullshit.
I'd like to boycott the world if that's the case.
I'm not asking for life and love to be easy....
but...
wait. yea i am.

I think i bugged enough people last week with my question about "fate" (the closest english equivalent of the concept, i think..)
and really,
yea i think i'm right.
fuck.
i'm doomed to be unhappy then.
lol.
i'm just kidding, i'm not that cynical.

Yesterday, I watched "5 Centimeters Per Second: a chain of short stories about their distance"  which is a Japanese animated feature film by Makoto Shinkai.
here's a video of the song from it




How many of us are looking for something that doesn't exist anymore?
Something that maybe only truly existed for a split second but has lived on in the blur between our memories and dreams?
Why is it so easy for words and feelings to be drowned out in this world?
Things we never get to say, never get to express..... how do we shake that feeling of regret?
How do we forget that which we have lost?
Distance, and time makes us forget, but leaves us with an inexplicable feeling of loss and heartache.
So that you're constantly looking for shadows of what used to be there because you can no longer picture it in your mind.

oh how the world messes with us.

    i guess we cant dwell on the lows in life too much.

  2. What are you talking about?
    You only hear about those things because that's all people ever talk about.
    Have you ever felt the need to talk about how great or average life is? About every moment that you've spent with your friends?

    Also, 5 Centimeters per Second was boring.

    But heartache and such feelings alike can all be healed by two things: Time and Love.
    Not necessarily romantic love. Just other friends, even.

    We all forget eventually. It's in our nature as humans.
    If we never forgot, we'd probably go insane.
