The movie, "The Holiday" made me think a lot, made me reflect. I have to start off this blog by saying that I am happy with my life, with the current relationship I am in, and the fact that the person I've come to care about-- is an amazing individual.
However, the movie made me think a lot about my past interesting enough. In the film, the character "Iris" has to learn to let go of the love she has for someone who doesn't deserve it in order for her to love someone who will love her in return.
I think we've all come to care about someone who didn't love you in return, and there is no greater challenge than to tell your heart to lie to itself, and to lie to you because a honest heart never lies.
For years, I cared about someone deeply, he was the inspiration behind some of my greater works, he was the reason behind a lot of my pains and confusion.
This film made me think of him, made me think about all those times that I'd let him make a fool out of me, because I would bend over backwards to help him, even through all of the terrible history, I was madly crazy over him. It's been a hard time realizing that some people will remain part of your life, even if they aren't around physically.
As much as I would like to admit that I am over him, that my feelings for him are absolutely vanquished-- a honest heart never lies.
I can say that I am moving on, and that I have found someone who has returned the affection, someone I can see myself being with and smiling and while things won't always be peachy or easy for that matter, I can honestly say that the problems we'll face won't be nearly as hard to endure, because I won't be taking the blunt of the troubles alone.
While I will always care about the person, while he will always remain that evasive white rabbit, I have to continue to dig myself out of the hole that is now my past, and look towards a brighter, better and more fulfilling future.
After all. a honest heart never lies.
