the movie, "The Notebook"? First of all, it's a beautiful movie. I'm not usually one for romantic films, but this one was really good. It got me to thinking.... Does anybody really believe love like that exists, or is it a Hollywood fairytale? If it does exist, why is it so rare? And if it exists, why do we settle for less? Is that kind of love worth waiting, and not tying ourselves down for? Or, is it only the passion of the young, and as we get older, we loose the ability to feel such love, because we are too busy guarding our hearts? Does our sucess, in life, also breed fear of failure in love? Can only those men and women, who make love their only goal in life, attain it? Do you feel as if you've found that kind of love?
Just a little thoughtful today..................

Man...........I've got to learn to stay away from those types of movies.
Hey Eve! Yes, I saw that movie quite a while ago, and I admit, it was SOOO romantic, without being sappy. I don't usually cry during movies, but I cried watching this one (but don't tell anyone, ok? ). I think the reason why this movie touched so many people, especially women, is because many of us secretly wish for that kind of love. I'm sure it must still happen, if it resonates with so many. I myself have not experienced it YET, but I sure hope to! Most of the loves I experienced so far have been somewhat one-sided: either I loved the guy more or the guy loved me more and I didn't feel the same. So, I'm still waiting for that kind of an amazing love, that's not only deep and intense, but also can last. I don't think it can only happen at a young age, although it might be more probable. But look at Nicolette Sheridan and Michael Bolton--they're not spring chickens anymore, and they seem so in love. I hope it works for them the second time around!
Ah, love The Notebook... but as much as I'd like to believe that a love like that exists, in my "Notebook", it doesn't. I don't think any man would accept me because I like those knock down, screaming, hitting in the arm fights with my boyfriends in the past... but as you can tell, they didn't like it. LOL They're in my past. I thought of them as "communication", they thought it was verbal abuse, borderline physical abuse. LOL I'd like to have the comfort and security that no matter what, love between men and women are unconditional... but like Eve said, it's so rare.
My grandparents (may their souls rest in peace) were married for over 50 years. I remember my Grandmother yelling at my grandfather and she'd hit him on the arm or throw a small box at him or one time, I saw a saucer fly over our heads while we ate as young kids and my grandfather would just duck.HAHAHA! He never hit her back but he'd yell back at her. One day, my grandfather kissed another woman at some party (my Aunts were telling us this story) and my Grandmother found out. She was hurt of course, but she forgave him. I think what I'd learned from them is that no matter what the 2 of them throw at each other, they were willing to work on their relationship no matter what.
BIG SIGH... I wish I could find a man like my Grandfather.
Of course it does. Our capacity to love so deeply is one of the greatest things about being a human being.
Does everyone get it? No, that kind of love takes discipline,depth,discernment and time.
People who are willing to wait...willing to turn down those who dont meet their expectations...those who have soul...those who are good people are the ones who find that love.
If you want to attract that kind of love, you have to give it back and make yourself a suitable reciever of that love.
Some people think that if they just sift through men like underwear that eventually they'll find the right one. It doesnt work like that.
Good luck with your journey :-)
