Like most of my world views and life philosophy, this probably came from a movie I watched, but I can't remember the name. Anyways some peoples were talking and one dude was all like "I just wanna find the right person." And then the other person was all like "Everyone is looking for the right person, but nobody is trying to be the right person." And then I was all like "whoa."
That totally changed my view on life and relationships and such. I decided that I should try and be a decent organism and that someone would find me eventually. So since then, that is kinda what I've done, I just try to be nice and helpful and thankful, although I think I still have a bit of work to do on all that.
Another good one from my favorite movie "Synecdoche, New York" is when the wife of the main character is all like, "Everyone is disappointing the more you know them." And then I was all like "woah."
That was a massive reality check / punch in the gut moment. Despite how we first perceive someone, everyone has their flaws the more you get to know them. Which is kind of sad to think about how perfection isn't really a thing but then I thought about "Good Will Hunting" when Robin Williams is telling Matt Damon about how his wife used to fart in her sleep and how those little imperfections that you only find out through intimate relationships are the things that make a person real and human and lovable and, well, perfect.
I watch too many movies.
no you don't
