The Notebook
I just saw one of the most romantic movies I have ever seen. It was funny, sweet, and painful. Some parts of it I could relate to and others I didn't understand. There were many times when I laughed and of course, I cried. I didn't want to. I tried to keep myself from crying, but I couldn't help it. It was so beautiful.
The love between Noah and Alley was so firey and so passionate, but real. It started as summer love. Simple, innocent, unexpected, and pure. Noah adored Alley and loved her so much. He did so much for her. Sometimes I wonder if men can really love like that. I know women can. It happens all the time. But do men love with such emotion and desire? Too many times I see men who are ruled by lust and the love for themself. I have not seen a man give himself wholeheartedly to make a woman happy. They are not romantic. They are not chivalrous. They don't write poetry, songs, bring flowers, spend countless sleepless hours pining for the one woman who they want to spend the rest of their lives with.
At the same time, I wonder if love, like the love portrayed in the movie, can ever truly exist. Something that is so deep that both persons cannot live without the other. If the men do not feel these emotions that I know I've felt, if their hearts are ruled by bestial desires, how can it? I look at the couples around me and I don't know. My parents just seem to exist as two people living together, My brother and his wife are divorcing, when I saw Liss and Jimmy I did not see that spark of happiness between them.
From what I see around me, it makes me never want to get married. It seems pointless and worthless. But, there is still the part of me that is hopeful and says that it won't be that way for me. I want a man who will pursue me with his entire being, his mind, his heart, his soul. Who will do what he can to ensure my happines, who puts me before him, who will treat me as a woman should be treated, who will love me more than any other person. I want that passion. I don't want him to have to choose between me and another woman. He will just know, he will just know that I am the one, the one he has to be with. Our love will be beautiful.
