It all comes down to heart.
I just recently watched the movie, Stomp the Yard. For those of you who don't know, it's a dance movie that shows the story of a boy from the ghetto who eventually does the right decision of going to college. In college, he witnesses an event known as stomping the yard, which is taken part of by all the fraternities there. Basically, it's kind of like a dance showdown between fraternities. With the boys gift in dancing, he changes the status of a losing fraternity by leading them to become champions. Of course, they beat the assholes who don't really deserve the championship.
It's one of those feel good movies that make you believe that anyone can accomplish anything, no matter what the odds, as long as you have the heart. Cliche, right? Well, yes it is but I still found it very good. I definitely say, it's a must watch!
So anyway, I'm not really writing about the whole movie. Instead, I'll write about one particular part. In every cliche movie, the guy always has a girl or vice versa. It keeps the story more interesting because in truth, who doesn't love a great love story?
In the movie, DJ(boy from the ghetto), meets his perfect ideal girl. She's smart, nice, popular and let's not forget, hot. Of course, DJ finds out that perfect girl already has the perfect guy. He is accomplished, good-looking, rich and also next in line to head the biggest fraternity in campus. He's the dream man of every girl in campus. Lucky for DJ, the guy's an asshole. He treats the perfect girl like shit just because he can get away with it. DJ, on the other hand, really shows love and care for the girl. Good thing, the girl is a hopeless romantic and is looking for real love so she breaks up with perfect guy when DJ comes to the scene. And like how every fairytale goes, they end up happily ever after.
That's actually very nice. Everyone dreams of those kinds of relationships because you, the underdog, beat the odds. You beat the guy which is supposedly impossible to beat and you get the perfect girl; however, don't you hate it that those things very seldom happen in real life?
(The next paragraphs actually apply vice versa, guy-girl and girl-guy but I'll just put it in the former point of view so it won't get confusing.)
Most of the time, your love interest goes for that perfect guy and not you. But you're still there, waiting for that fairytale ending, for her to change her mind and lean towards you but it never happens. I'm sure, it crosses your mind that maybe the guy is really better than you. Well, maybe. But don't you notice that way of thinking is selfish? You compare yourself with someone and you say, you deserve the perfect girl more. Why don't you ask, who she deserves? Ask, who is better for her? You may think, you're better than the perfect guy, but she may think differently. It's not about who's better, it's about who she deserves. We really shouldn't be selfish.
This is what i think, if she makes the wrong decision and I'm not saying picking the perfect guy is the wrong decision --- just pray that she'll eventually make the right decision. Have faith. If she doesn't pick you, maybe because it's really not meant to be. Maybe because you aren't the right decision. Just want for her, what's best for her.
In the end, it all comes down to heart.
Sorry if that was long, I got carried away. ha ha ha!!
