American Beauty
Well I just got finished watching this movie, it came recommended to me rather passionately by someone I know.
It’s left me thinking...
There's a scene in it where the mother of the movie is talking to her daughter Jane, and she says something along the lines of the only person you can count on in the end is yourself the sooner you learn that the better off you are.
And you know what? She’s right. Everyone will let you down sometime or another.
I think sometimes people wonder why I trust people so implicitly yet not trust them at all. Meaning I’ll trust them with what I, or they need to know or have. But I always doubt them. because I know that either now or some later date they're going to let me down... it might hurt a lot when they do depending on who they are, but the reason I do it is because in the end it doesn’t really matter if they let me down or not. So long as I hold no grudges, which I never really do. They will still be there afterwards and that to me is what's important. You can't be with someone and think that there is nothing they will ever do that will hurt you. Because they will hurt you, it may or may not be on purpose but they will hurt you and it's going to suck.
But you just have to learn to not let that get in the way, love them anyway. Because it would be much worse without them wouldn't it?
I don't mean just love in the romantic sort of way, but friends and family too.
