Thoughts - Nicholas Sparks

First of all I got to say this guys..this is NOT a story...these are merely my thoughts, opinions something that I gotta say...I wrote it here for the simple reason that I want to share my views on certain things..things that might not be fun, or even interesting to others but might be something for somebody else. I wrote this becuase I needed to tell it to somebody and couldn't find someone who shares the same interests as I do and therefore have no one to talked it about.

Back as a child I have always watched films authored by Nicholas Sparks...I may not know the name then but I certainly know it now...

His works like A Walk to Remember, The Last Song, The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, Nights at Rodanthe are some of his works that I've watched that certainly made me cry and touched me considerably shaping some of my views regarding love and family.

I still remembered his interview with Boy Abunda in the Bottomline, Tito Boy asked him why all his novels almost always ends up in tragedy. He said "Even the greatest love stories end up in tragedy because there will always be one who will be left behind."

Is it true? Does it really end up in tragedy? I don't think so...I think that in time when we do face that time of losing the one that we love, yes, we cry, others may not be able to accept it, but most of us do learn to cope and in time be able to move on...

I may love the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novels but for some reason even though I have pdf files of his works I haven't really read them. I mean, I tried reading The Notebook once or twice but I couldn't seem to move past the 3rd chapter.

When reading a book I always read the last part first to know if the ending is a good one or not...I always have this notion that a book that doesn't end well isn't worth the waste of time reading. Though his books have good endings it is just hard for me to accept that they end tragic. Maybe that's the reason why I haven't bother reading them before.

As a young writer I thought that stories especially that about love should end in happily ever after like fairy tales does but Nicholas Sparks taught me what true love really means and that sometime it doesn't always have to be a happy ending.

Just recently, actually a couple of days ago, we had a massive brownout in our area that lasted more than 24 hours. Bored to death having nothing to do, I decided to pick up the only book that I haven't read in my night stand - Dear John. I swear before that I wouldn't read the book as well as watch the movie since I know having asked my cousins who have both read and watch the said novel that in the end the main characters have to stay apart from each other and that the girl character actually married somebody else but since I don't want to repeat reading the once I'm done with I decided to just bear reading Dear John.

I have to say first though that when I picked it up all I am thinking is that I don't have to finish it up. I was hoping that before I came to the part in the novel wherein John and Savannah would split up the current/electricity is restored. But unfortunately luck isnt on my side. I continued reading till chapter 10 then decided to scan the remaining chapters, reading bits and pieces of conversation between the characters...to make the story short lets just suffice to say that I cried myself to sleep that night thinking of John and realizing for the first time why Nicholas Sparks wrote what he wrote.

 Love doesn't always mean that you have to be together...sometimes...love can be fully shown by staying away...by doing the right thing...

I guess there are people who come our way that we instantly felt connected with..that we fall in love with...that we thought was the one meant for us...but the truth is..they just came our way to teach us something...to make us value what we have more...for us to truly understand how it is to love deeply, inequivocally...to love passionately...to love wholehertedly...to love without a thought to be loved back in return...

And so I will end this with the thought that love should not be regreted however hurt we have been because in every relationship that we have and we will have would teach us a thing or two leading us closer to a happily ever after...or close to it...

I hope you feel the same way too....
