I waited so long to do this one. It's one of my all-time favorite movies and not just because it's about some cute little kids falling in love and it's so freaking adorable, but because it represents life in such realistic way. And that those young people also performed so well in this movie is also a big surprise for me. It was comforting knowing you're not more stupid than others when in love. For we all do foolish things when we have feelings for a person. Things we might regret later - doing them or not doing them, it's always either these two. But if you ask me, I'd rather regret something I've done than something I haven't. Sure, the past cannot be redone, and I'm positive I wouldn't even go in the past to fix my mistakes for those are the reason why I am the way I am today. Even if some people like it or not. Life isn't meant to live it for the people who dislike you, but to surround yourself with people who seek the greater good in you. Something that also completes them, and those people are worth keeping in your life. True soul-mates.
When speaking of soul-mates, I truly believe those two were somehow destined to meet one way or another. The awkwardness of them trying to avoid each other only made it more obvious how right they were for one another. But they were only kids, and it was expected of them to act like love and kissing is disgusting. It was a normal thing to do. I also loved the way whole movie was one adorable, dorky, cute story of two kids who had this love/hate relationship they could not get rid of. It was hilarious, seeing them wanting to get over this silly feeling called being in love or having a crush. It was obvious they despised it with all their hearts.
However, regardless of their eventually mutual love, it was explicitly shown how Juli felt the whole thing a lot more mature and realistic, when all Bryce did was trying to get away with this and not confronting it. It showed how girls develop and grow up way faster and better than boys. She knew from the start what this was about and she also knew it wasn't easy to get over it that quickly or effectively. Only thing she could to was at least try, and we cannot blame her for that, now can we? We would ruin all the girls' faith around the world by telling them over 50% chance is they'll get rejected. Wake up, it's the real world. And that is what I loved the most in the movie. Sure, it was at times a typical cliche, but mostly it was showing us very thoroughly how love takes timing. And not just any timing. It shows us that sometimes all we need is to risk, when other times we need to have patience and faith.
Sometimes you hate love. You feel like each burden of this planet has been planted on your shoulders and you have to take responsibilities for every single thing, yet not finding the time for yourself. That can be a problem, because one must always first find time for oneself and then 'take care' of the rest of the world. But other times, you feel like love has enlighten you. It's you paths you've never been able to reach out for before, and it makes you feel magnificent and majestic, invincible. It literally gives you wings to fly to the world ahead of you. You feel like you can take any challenge as long as you have that one person by your side. You suddenly see meaning in life, mentally slap yourself for being so blind before. For wondering why it never worked with anyone else before.
Although like each story, love has its ending as well. If not with break-up, then with death. But let's talk about the first one, shall we? I take it all as part of life, as something to go on with it. Sometimes I wonder if that's the reason love hasn't found me yet, because I try really hard not to find it myself, since that is like the forbidden thing to do if you actually want to have happiness in your life - to not search for it, but let it find you. I stick to that as often as possible, although sometimes I just can't resist the sweet daydreams of being with someone I'm currently crushing on. But that's like totally normal. As far as I know, every teenage girl's doing it, so why would it be banned with me? I feel like I'm cursed or something for not having what everyone else's obviously having and it also makes me feel a whole lot worse than it should.
But once you think about it, love's all you have. All that bonds you with the world around you, what truly matters. I do not wish to repeat myself, but all I seem to say is love this, love that. Love isn't that complicated at all. Humans are, so we make it look complicated. Relationships needn't to be complicated, but our hearts are bound to do so. So all we have to do is take it in and embrace the whole thing with your arms wide open. For this is what you have to give. You character shows how you deal with people/things that you cannot change, or have little effect on. It's how you treat them when you know you can't expect anything in return. It's hard, but that's when your true nature shows.
But we, people, are addicted to this sort of things. Drama, personal issues, relationships, ... I could go on forever. It's what kinda makes this world going around, what keeps people talking. I haven't yet decided if I want to acknowledge that as a good or a bad thing; all I know is that it's true. It's a part of us which we'll never get rid of, regardless of how many centuries have passed.
Also what I noticed in the movie was that it showed love doesn't know age. You fall in love when you fall in love, and the best thing to do is to just accept it and either go along with it or do something about it. I suggest the latter (you never know). It showed how stupid you act when you're in love, doing silly things you normally wouldn't do. No matter how hard Bryce tried to convince himself she's annoying and she only makes everything bad - he was completely and utterly infatuated with her. Even he couldn't deny it in the end, when he finally realized there's no point in pretending you don't love someone just because. We're all afraid of the risk. Here's this beautiful quote: "It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? Ah, but what if it does." by Peter McWilliams. Sure, it's a cute quote, though the only thing I disagree with it it's that it's useless and pointless to overthink such things as if it will work out or not. I mean, we're all haunted by those demons, I won't say I'm not. But what's the point of actually going out with someone if you're filled with doubts from the start? It's bound to not work out then. You have to have trust and faith in that person from the beginning to make it worth a while. To make it count.
To conclude, I just want to point out that being in love is a normal state in human's life. Each and every one of us go through it, suffer immense pains and shed tons of tears, regarding to that one person that changed our lives forever. I wish at the end of our lives, we were given a list with people in our lives that changed us in some way, that were responsible for who we are today. Next to each person there'd be written a trait you gain from them that now completes your personality. Now how cool would that be? But that's never gonna happen, so I'm only wishing my life away by thinking of that. Or thinking of anything, in that matter. Overthinking does eventually ruin us. We spend more time thinking about what other people think of us than those people actually spend time thinking of us. It's a vicious circle we cannot get out, unless we set things straight. And we must do that, otherwise we might as well say farewell to happy and content life.
Somehow, we're always in pain. No matter what kind of pain; a heartbreak, disease, chronic illness, depression, financial problems, ... "We're all in the same game, just different levels. Dealing with same hell, just different devils." - Unknown It may be hell to love someone who doesn't love you back (or at least gives you that kind of impression), but I find comfort in knowing I could have it worse. Well, I know that's not in any consolation, to be honest it doesn't really help me get pass it as well. I just take it in and let it grow over me until I feel to numb to feel anything at all. The feelings overflow me until there's no more space to add any kind of emotion anymore. That usually happens with unrequited love.
But speaking in the name of love - DO love. For that is the only thing that keeps this world still alive and a little bit brighter. Each day I hear wonderful stories about people that do simple and humble actions that make someone's day in the name of any kind of love. It doesn't always have to be passionate and fatal. Even if it's just a feeling towards another human, a sense for someone that is might having a rough time. It always helps. So if you have the chance, help. By showing you care. For you may be the only one that actually does.
