romance
i have a friend who loves to read romance novels. I think its such a waste of time. Mushy romance stuff just isn't something i want to spend time on. really. Then, i realised that i like to watch romance movies. or so-called chick flicks. I like them! They are easy... they have a feel good factor cos there is always, i repeat, ALWAYS a happy ending. it makes me happy. At least for about 2 hours. So i guess its for the same reason why my friend reads romance. not becÄuse she believes in it but rather, for the feel good factor i suppose. A book last longer than a movie so you get to live in that 'fairy tale' longer. Maybe i should try that out too.Some fav films... the awakening film was 50 First Dates. Feels me with a complete fuzzy feeling. then i re-watched Claire Dane's and Leonardo's Romeo and Juliet. Just watched Closer which isn't that fairy tale but lends some perspective on love. Love the script.
When one doesn't believe in love anymore, books and films is a lovely way out.
