Woah! I can't believe I'm posting this.
Float Away by Lindsey Ray
Seasons change
Treetops sway
I am young today
Children play sidewalk games
As I dream away
That someday I'll float away
Over the sunrise
And leave this whole crazy world behind
I'll head straight for the stars
Somewhere on the way
I know I'll meet ya
And carry on with your hand in mine
'Cause you're the keeper of my heart
Flowers bloom sweet perfume
And I think of you
Birds of blue sing in tune
And I know it's true
That someday I'll float away
Over the sunrise
And leave this whole crazy world behind
I'll head straight for the stars
Somewhere on the way
I know I'll meet ya
And carry on with your hand in mine
'Cause you're the keeper of my heart
Someday I'll float away
Over the sunrise
And leave this whole crazy world behind
I'll head straight for the stars
Somewhere on the way
I know I'll meet ya
And carry on with your hand in mine
We'll head straight for the stars
The keeper of my heart
You're the keeper of my heart
Nina's doppelgänger
This movie was not for everybody and so as this blog. You should be informed that this is my own evaluation. Whatever I wrote here is something you should never believe until seen.
To make this blog a lot easier for me to make, I decided to list all questions left unanswered and a very amateur-ish review of the movie.
1.) Mirror Effect - Nina saw herself on the paintings her mother made. The colors were gloomy and the faces distorted but still smiling. She saw jealousy, anger, and desperation from those.
2.) Struggle within the character - Hallucinations mixed with paranoia led to self-destruction.
3.) Not-so good childhood - Overprotective mother!
4.) Insecurity - Thought she was not perfect, which even led to attraction to the same sex.
5.) Dependency - She thought she was nobody because her mother made her feel that she can't stand on her own.
6.) Theft - The stealing. She thought Beth was perfect and she desired to be like her. She thought she would become like Beth the moment she starts using her stuff.
Questions:
1.) What made her think she's not perfect? Does the absence of a father figure made her feel imperfect?
2.) When did she start the habit of scratching herself? What triggered it? What does it mean? Lack of self-confidence? The feeling of inferiority?
3.) The peeling of skin and the, urrgghh, the toes. What happened to her toes? That was just kinda disturbing.
I tried my best to elaborate on these thoughts but just like the movie, I'm twisted. My mind's a roller coaster now and I guess I'd be able to put these words together better if I hit the sack.

My Little Blue Pill
"Sometimes the things you want the most don't happen and what you least expect happens. I don't know - you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet that one person and your life is changed."
One thing I learned today is that I must not judge "Love and Other Drugs". True that the first few parts of the movie were steamy but in the end, it just made my heart melt.
1. I loved it when Jamie told Maggie how much he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
2. I loved it when Jamie told Maggie that she made him believe that he is enough.

3. I loved how the movie ended and how I wished it was my story, minus the Parkinson's.
I wonder when I'd meet that one person who would change my life. I wonder who would want to take care of me and who would want to be taken care by me. I wonder how I changed from being a cynic to a cheesy blogger. I wonder if I'm being cheesy or all these are just true. I wonder....
