The End is the New Beginning

Confused?  Don't be.

I have become the absolute definition of a substandard blogger.  I was once a dedicated "un-writer"/writer of my personal blog (divainthedesert/vox).  Looking back, I can only assume that I had more time and rage.  Regardless, I began this (notyetdiagnosed/blogger) blog last year with the very best intention and lost momentum.  I could blame The Kidlet, work, friends, family, etc. BUT in reality, it is 100% me.

Call me jaded but I am rarely phased by movies.  I am not that girl that thinks that if I have the perfect outfit, hair color or deep, dark urge for kink in the bedroom that my relationships will be perfect.  I would love nothing more for the movie plots to be something to look forward to but real life is not perfect.  There is absolutely no such thing and not all relationships end on a good note or do the boy and girl resolve differences and resume their love.

I saw the trailer Crazy Love in early 2012 and knew that I had to see that movie.  At that time I was in a long distance relationship and I could definitely relate to the story albeit he and I were in the same state.  I felt the hurt and disappointment of the characters in my throat.  The movie score was just as powerful.  I loved it and was living it.

I recently watched Celeste and Jesse Forever and my jaw hit the floor.  I adore Rashida Jones as an actress and she nailed this part.  Once again, I could really "feel" this movie.  I laughed and cried but I mostly cried because I can relate.

My point to this post is that neither of these films have changed my life dramatically but it is comforting to see how others (real or not) handle tough relationships.

If you are in love, hurt by love, lost in love or long for love.  I highly recommend both movies.  Get your tissue handy, you will need it if you truly have a heart.
