I like to read. Actually, I love to read. I am obsessed with reading. Because books can be read. People usually can't. But I think I've talked about books enough by now. So on the next topic. Films. Movies, videos whatever you want to call them. They too, create unrealistic expectations of love. All love movies end the same. Its all so cliché. They follow the same patterns as books, and that it because movies are usually based on novels. It is basically inevitable. We are always going to be surrounded by fictional pieces of love. They're all stories. They were all created by some incredibly talented individuals who spend their time using their amazing talents in order to decieve us by crafting scenarios that we fall in love with. And how evil they are indeed, they make us fall in love with words and scenes in a movie and actors that don't mean what they say because they are only acting. But I mean, so are most people who claim to be in love. They are all actors in a sense. So technically, we are all actors. We could all go about our lives saying things we don't meant with copious amounts of emotion and breaking people's hearts. And there are people like that already.
Psychopaths. That's what they are. They feed you words full of emotions that make you feel and make your spine tingle and they hit deep within your bones. They lodge themselves in your brain and in your soul. And this is why every time somebody leaves you feel so empty. Because they take a piece of you with them. And they only leave you with memories.

Films make us delusional. We think that things are going to happen they way they do in movies. And that is false. So very false. You don't live in a movie, where everything you say is scripted and people are paid to make you look good with lighting, and makeup and all that. You aren't handed pages of words to say and pages of words that other people will say. You can't rehearse conversations and prepare a comeback. You can't redo something because you made a mistake the first time. The only thing you can do, is speak loving words to someone, tell them how important they are to you, touch their soul with your dirty hands, and then turn around and not care because it was all an act and you were only doing it for fun.

If you think about it, we all know that movies (and TV shows) are fiction. But we still wish for a love like the love in the movies. We all want a real life version of The Notebook. Don't even try to say you don't. We all want kisses in the rain. If you say otherwise you are a liar. A liar just like the people who break hearts. But isn't it funny how we all want to copy make believe stories? Why do we want someone else's love story? Why can't we just create out own? That's probably another reason we end up so broken hearted, because we try to copy works of fiction and they will never turn out exactly right. Because they aren't your stories. They never will be. No matter how hard you try.
