we have all done it. so many times. I know I have . while relishing in a certain instance of extreme existence, whether it's distress, grief, heartbreak, intimacy, humor, exploration, or euphoria.... or other infermities or triumphs, we think (or say aloud)....
"I feel like I'm in a movie."
********or even worse, "why can't my life work out like it does in novels or movies."
well I think we should stop saying that.
I think that it's a very backwards way to look at this concept...
because if you think about ..... you realize it's the other way around. maybe we forget that movies are meant to portray real life events and emotions.
before the television, before movies, before any plays or media were readily available to portray these extreme moments ...
the moments existed....
only being felt by the spirits present in that moment.
I would like to believe ancient men and women fell in love & had those moments where they looked into the eyes of those they loved & were enveloped with an inner song of tranquility & comfort. where they had intimate and romantic encounters. where they had tradegy & felt sorrow. or when things work out in perfect sequence:
& not once did they discredit those happenings by thinking "wow my life is like a movie!"
are all forms of art not already just a portrayal of life? of thoughts? emotions that already exist before they were made?
no plot or story the same.
so why, then do we try to make our lives into something we have seen before? when we could make something new & personal.
why do we try to mold the ways we lvei and love, how we look, who we associate with, & what we say..... into something that was molded to portray the way we already were living?...
movies, songs, paintings, musicals, tv shows are all just depictions of a life that already exists in reality,...
so maybe we should instead think "wow this feels like living."
haha sorry kind of a ramble but.... does that make sense?
