what if you could pack your life up into a backpack?
just finished watching up in the air. haha yes i know i'm slow but movies are expensive here in london so i don't get to watch them as frequently as i usually do in sg ): and we usually end up watching it on the small-screen aka comp screen -.- anyway the film made me think quite abit though not as much as i thought it would. but it was a good film and i would recommend it to anyone! i think i've always had abit of an obsession with this sort of feeling. the feeling of being able to escape from life with all its burdens and responsibilities and just start life afresh with nothing or just live it moving around from place to place without needing to return somewhere or any obligations. it is kinda exhilarating. but at the end of the day we all realise that that would be a life with no meaning and i think the inability to be able to forge true and deep relationships built on love and trust would kill me haha. and it's funny how, actually these things in life often lift you up instead of weighing you down. on a sidenote george clooney is getting old so sad ):
but sometimes you can't ignore that keeping up a relationship is tiring. sometimes you try but it feels like you're not doing enough or you're always getting it wrong. or sometimes you just end up hurting the other person even when you try not to or when in actual fact that's the last thing you want to do. and sometimes you feel too stubborn, too childish, too flawed to be loved. and sometimes you just want to run away from the hurt. and sometimes when you realise how much power someone else has over you, the power to hurt you and cause you such pain, you just want to run away. you don't want to feel so vulnerable or helpless. sometimes you question the depth of their love. and sometimes you wonder whether you both could be happier with someone else... but at the end of the day when you both come running back into each other's arms, you see that you both love each other and are truly happy with one another and want to work all these stupid little things out together. and i guess that's all that really matters sometimes <3
