What if our lives were actually just like the movies. I was lying in bed last night contemplating the world (as you do when you can't sleep) when I had an interesting thought. What if our lives were actually like the movies?
What if there really someone out there for everyone of us? What if those people really are people we know? What if it is just that we are so wrapped up in the everyday running of our lives and wishes for a movie style life that we fail to see that that is exactly what we have got? Yes, it may be harder to see as we are not restricted to a pre-written script and plot and neither are we limited to 120 minutes running time but I think it really is out there. The romantic love scenes and the unexpected romances that we all secretly yearn for within our lives. Although I believe this to be true I also believe that another reason why we have been unable to realise this is because we are in denial about it - if life was like the movies then movies wouldn't be the escapism that we would like them to be. If there was no form in escapism in Rom-Coms and other romantic types of films then where would we turn to escape from the bad days, experiences and monotony of our lives that will inevitably occur at some point?
Maybe we as ourselves are not always as invisible as we believe we are and instead we need to stop making the possibilities that are always there so invisible to ourselves?
