My New Favourite Quote
On a boring Thursday night, I watched a movie called "Last Kiss" and right in the middle I heard these few lines:
"Stop talking about love. Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts."
Ok, let me set the scene for you. This man has had a girlfriend for 3 years, and they are having a baby together. But the man freaks out about growing up all of a sudden so has a fling with a uni student whom he doesnt really care about. So, of course, his gf find outs, kicks him out of the house, then moves in with her parents. The bf then keeps trying to tell her the normal "she meant nothing, she reminded me of how much I love you, I'm sorry, etc etc etc". So he goes over to her parents' house, she refuses to see him, and he ends up talking to her dad telling him "but I love her!" which angers the dad so much that he says those lines up there. It is true, that when we suddenly wake up to realize how much we love someone, whether its a friend, lover, or family member, it feels overwhelming and we just feel like oh my God! Since I'm feeling all of these intense feelings the person I love MUST realize it, must forgive me, must stay, must somehow reward me for feeling them...when actually that big overwhelming feeling ONLY matters to us; it makes US feel awesome. Saying "I love you" makes US feel really good, of course the people we love like to hear it, and like to hear it ALOT hehe, but would love it more if they see it in what we do with and for them. It was a nice few lines to remind me of what's important...how for example your precious moments with people tend to be more about actions rather than words. I personally am a totally word lover haha, would keep letters, emails, smses, and just love HEARING nice things, but in actual fact would feel them more with actions and that's what gives a person peace :)
Nice sharing with ya on this boring yet interesting thursday evening...now I'm off to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
