don't want to fly if you're still on the ground.
 A favourite quote of mine goes something like this:
Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
So, penny for your thoughts:
Is it really better to have known love and lost it, than to have never loved at all? Knowing the feeling of love, and then having it wrenched from you versus living ignorantly onwards?
Anyways.
I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button today with a few friends at the cinema, and yes. Brad Pitt looks horrible as an old man, and absolutely adorable on a motorbike. But what really struck me during the movie was his relationship with Daisy (Cate Blanchett). Their love was one full of destiny and fate, and it was basically amazing watching an old man who looked like he was in his seventies fall in love with a girl of around ten.
It looked weird, but it was really sweet.
Personally, I loved the movie. I shed a few tears near the end. Continuing from the quote, I think the latter half of the movie really fit. Daisy, was the one to have loved and lost - she remembers the love she feels for Benjamin Button, and the feeling of leaving it behind. Benjamin, on the other hand, forgets everything, forgets who Daisy is, and just continues to lose his years.
So whose position would you rather be in?
I think Daisy doesn't regret loving Benjamin. I doubt anyone in her position would. But considering the pain, and the disappointment that she goes through, and then finding out that he barely remembers her is one of the factors that led me to shed tears. In terms of the relationship, I believe that Benjamin, although he made the initial sacrifice, was spared the heartbreak that Daisy goes through. It really depends on your point of view I guess, to decide who is better off in the end, but I think ultimately, both of them are glad to have gone through the process of loving each other (despite Benjamin's later on short-term-memory).
I think the movie was awesome, and it really made me think. On the other hand, one of my friends called it:"slightly boring", and said it was too long.
It is longer than your average movie, but I think it was really worth it.
And Brad Pitt sailing without a shirt on. That's has to earn him bonus points.
loves.

but drenched in vanilla twilight, i'll sit on the front porch all night.
 This is what happens to bored people.
Bored people like me.
Unlike any other blogs, where are there for a cause...this...unfortunately, has no cause.
It's just a way of self-satisfaction for an ordinary high school student who has nothing better to do with her time.
Although some would argue against "ordinary". More like insane madwoman.
But that's a story for later.
Anyways.
Have fun reading this. Don't expect much.
I'll probably just blog my thoughts, all the unfairness in the world, and complain about homework.
You know. Like everyone else who blogs for a cause.
loves.
