When two people love each other

I recently watched a movie that I've seen at least a dozen times. The movie that I'm talking about is the Mexican. And I absolutely love this movie. I mean Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, really what else do you need. But that of course is not why I am writing this. I mean everyone knows how much I love Brad and Julia. I'm writing this because of the simple message that was placed in the middle of this movie. That message was, "when two people love each other at what point is enough, enough." And of course the answer to this question is never.

It's a really hard thing to think about. I mean it's really easy to say that there is never going to be a point when enough is enough, but is an all too different thing to actually live it. To be there day in and day out, but that's what love is. It's not always easy and it's not a fairytale. It's peaks and valleys and it's not for the faint of heart. And you know sometimes it's gonna get rough, but at the end of it all, there you two are more in love with each other than when you started.

But the thing that people can seem to wrap their heads around is the fact that they think that it is always gonna be a fairytale, and when things aren't perfect they can't even imagine trying to work on it. Because it seems like we live in a society were it all has to be easy and if it's not just move on to the next thing and hope that that's gonna be easier, but the simple fact is, that it's not easy, life isn't easy, nothing about it is, but isn't that what really makes it beautiful. Nobody really cares about someone who was just born on top, but those underdog stories are the ones that we always come back and listen to again and again.

So I guess basically what I'm trying to say is that there will never be a time when enough is enough for me. I hope you read this. I hope you really read this.

  1. So....would it be too forward to say that I love you????
    This movie was on just the other day and I, of course, had to watch it! Not only do I love Brad and Julia, but David was in it as well! (Woo-hoo!)
    I hate that we could really name our generation "the quick fix." Everyone thinks that the best things in life are free; and that is definitely NOT the case! It actually does take time to get to know someone. And yes, it takes work to compromise and to really see what's under the surface. And I really wish more people would see the way you see. Most of the time it's worth the time it takes to get to know someone and to really stick with someone. That's what life's all about! : )
