Den måde jeg gemmer mig væk er ved dårlig popmusik.
Det jeg altid gjort, det ved du.
I've found almost everythin ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than wiling to believe Shakespeare had. I Suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victimes. It's called Unrequited love. Of that I am an expert.
Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The hadicapped without the advantages of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The wort Christmas', the worst Birthdays', New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms.
I understand the feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didin't know you inside you. And it dosen't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonny you drink with your girlfriends... You still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convience yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you fell worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted. that will eventually begin to fade.
- tit og ofte har jeg set denne film. Mange af jer kan sikkert genkende dette stykke tekst. Det er den monolog der indleder "The Holiday", som efter min mening er den bedste tøse- og kærlighedsfilm. Jeg har set den aaaaaaalt for mange gange. Og jeg kommer til at se den maaaange gange til. Jeg kan især godt lide anden del af monologen. Den del hvor hun fortæller om "The hadicapped without the advantages of a great parking space!" Det beskriver hvordan det er at være foresket i en der ikke elsker en tilbage så godt.
