The Holiday

August 14, 2008

Another pair of quotes pulled out from Ms. Tanya T. Lara’s Crazy Quilt column. This time its from “The Holiday” starring Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black and Kate Winslet.

 

Kate Winslet: Most love stories are about people who fall  in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? Those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one-sided affair. We are the unloved ones., the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space!

Kate (another scene):  I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn’t know you had inside you. And it doesn’t matter how many new haircuts you get, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends…you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he’ll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you’ll go somewhere new. And you’ll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back.

Sad but true, no matter how sweet love stories are, there are still part of our lives that makes us alone, helpless and sometimes even hopeless.

But as long as we live, there’s still hope…Hope in finding that person that will make your life worthwhile.

So now, the questions are: Where are you? When will you come? Are here already? Are you HER? How can I meet you? 

I think for now, I still have to wait, and maybe someday, better yet, sometime soon you’ll be crashing in to me, and hope that both of us can find that something that will bind us…………..
