watched definitely, maybe last night. I forgot how much I love April in that movie. I love everything she says.
I think I feel like this...
"You're asking me to give up my freedom, my joie de vivre for an institution that fails as often as it succeeds? And why should I marry you, anyway? I mean, why do you wanna marry me? Besides some bourgeois desire to fulfill an ideal that society embeds in us from an early age to promote a consumer capitalist agenda?"
But if someone said this...
"I wanna marry you because you're the first person I wanna look at when I
wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight.
Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not
being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as I
love you, getting married is the only thing left to do. So, will you,
um, marry me?"
then maybe I would reconsider
but thats what these movies have done to us. theyve made us think that that exists. and maybe it does.
but maybe...maybe you just
"Forget about the real deal. You don't find it. It finds you. You get to a
certain age and then you're ready. You know, you're ready for kids, or
commitment, or a mortgage. And the person that you're with then...they
become the one."
