As always in times of sadness, watching Lord of the Rings brings me some solace. I am a living breathing Gollum...
Gollum: Master betrayed us!
So much for "It's my decision in the end, I am never getting an arranged marriage" and
"Of course I am not going to do it, I love you more than anything and cannot live without you!"
[Seana cries.]
Mom: "Seana. Why do you cry, Seana?"
Seana: "Cruel men hurts us. Sukhvir tricksed us."
Mom: "Of course he did. I told you he was tricksy. I told you he was
false."
Seana: "Sukhvir was our friend - our friend."
[Mom looks at Seana, confused.]
Seana: "SUKHVIR betrayed us!"
Seana: "No, no it was love. Leave us alone."
Seana: "Filthy little Indians! They stole it from us!"
Seana: "No… no."
Mom: "What did he steal?"
Seana: "My… SUKHVIR! Argh!"
Frodo:"How do you
pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your
heart you begin to understand there *is* no going back? There are some
things time cannot mend. Some hurts that go to deep...and take hold."
Frodo: "I can't do this, Sam."
Sam:
"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we
are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really
mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. 'Cause sometimes you
didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How can
the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But
in the end it's only a passing thing. A shadow even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even
if you were to small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do
understand. I know now. Folks in those stories had lots of chances in
turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were
holding on to something."
Frodo: "What are we holding onto, Sam?"
Sam: "That there's some good left in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
What good is left in this world? How can I pick up the threads of an old life?
This is so much worse than leaving Australia, and graduating college...
I knew that those would be traumatic life altering events, and knew
that they had to happen. This did not have to happen! I have turned
into gollum talking to myself, "he knew he was lying, no he didnt he
loves you, maybe he didnt think his parents would do this, he didnt
love me if he could do this, he didnt lead you on and still does love
you..."analyzed everything over and over again, and I did everything in
my power to make it work. It should have worked! HOW CAN THE END BE
HAPPY???? He better not get over me for a VERY LONG TIME!
