Tragedy Makes it More Real?

So I literally just finished watching the film, Love and Other Drugs, and I thought it was a simple film that captured what love really means. At this day and age, does anyone of us remember or even know what love really means? Does it mean buying the perfect presents or cooking the perfect meal? Finishing each other's sentences or always being there?

As a society, I believe that we are getting so caught up with the peripheral idea of love when the core is much more simple. The film starts out with the lady's man, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, and eventually meets a sassy girl who is played by Anne Hathaway. The setting is very beautiful because everything looks simple, from her apartment to their outfits. The movie was believable in the sense that there was no fancy materialistic attribute that would distract you from the glamourous idea of love.

The reason why I want to write about the film is because it defined love in terms of support and needing each other. To be honest, that's all everyone really wants in this world, someone to take care of them and want them. I know that in my relationship, I am needed and wanted by my boyfriend. It isn't about the gifts or the amazing dinners we have, its about the times we spend together just talking and starring at each other on a sunday morning. We can spend hours laying there and the moments we aren't together i know that he's always there for me and whenever I need him he can fulfill.

"I will need you more than you will need me, and that's unfair" was the quote that stuck with me. Towards the end of the movie Jake's characters says "You will meet a thousand people a day but one day that one person will change your life" and that is exactly what love is.

I think we all miss that love, we like to joke about finding the right guy as long as he's rich, can cook or has a full head of hair but deep inside we want love to be about needing each other and changing each other's lives for the better. Whether it comes from tragedy or from passion, love only exists when the ingredient of need is there.

Ke$u$ Chri$t, My $avior

Clearly, after Lady Gaga, Ke$ha is the most influential artist I've ever listened to. Oh, and before all the hate on conventional pop music, I listen to other "meaningful" and so-called "deeper" music that haters like to claim against Ke$ha fans.

It seems evident that within the 2000's, music got much darker and depressing to reflect on the once relaxed awkward 90s. By the birth of Lady Gaga and Ke$ha, the music scene got a fresh breathe of air.

stop hating on what's flawless.

I hate introductions...

I'm fly as hell, fashion music movies art is what I breathe but politics is what i do.
