The Conundrum
Saw Garden State with Brad yesterday. I hoped it would be good, because he wanted it to be.... but I didn't expect it would mean as much to me as it did. When we got back, he asked why I'd liked it. I couldn't put it into words for him then. I will, however, attempt to now... mostly for my own sake.
...
It's like Rob Thomas says in "SHOW" when he's explaining the song Unwell... We're all just a little f****d up. All of us are. It's the ones who realize it, the "enlightened" ones, that move past it (maybe even learn to live with it). We find our imperfections. We correct what we can. Learn from what we can not. We embrace the fact that we are human. Those who refuse to acknowledge it live on in an undertow. They will never be happy, no matter their success, because they have not acknowledged themselves.
My favorite part now, is the end. Maybe because I wish Brad had decided he didn't need that ellipses either.
Maybe life is too short for that. Or maybe it's too short not to embrace ourselves.
