You are my life now




Bella meets Edward. Bella falls in love with Edward.

Bella would do anything for him. Be anything for him.

Bella lives and breathes Edward.

Bella is dead scared to lose him.

Edward breaks up with Bella.

Bella falls apart.

Bella stops living.

This is what happens in the second movie. Edward loves her so much and is so concerned about her safety and happiness that he decides that she would have a better chance at that if he wasn’t around… And so he decides to leave her.

After that Bella falls into depression, has constant panic attacks, doesn’t talk to anyone, doesn’t look forward to anything anymore. It was like her life walked out the door the minute he walked out of her life.

I wish this was something that only happened in movies, but unfortunately this is pretty much the reality of many girls nowadays.

They meet a guy, fall head over hills for him and the ‘love’ they feel is so strong that they are absolutely sure they can’t live without him.

And so they do whatever is necessary to keep that person’s love.

They go against their better judgment.

They turn against their parents if they dare disagree with her ‘new found love’.

Others give themselves completely and unconditionally to the guy, just so they won’t lose them.

They turn away from friends, lose focus on their studies, forget about the plans they had for the future. They change the way they dress, hang out in places they would never go before, accept whatever and whenever, do whatever is necessary, risk everything for someone they say they love.

And the worst is, some even turn their backs on God and everything they once believed in. They abandon their faith; they throw their salvation out the window, and for what? For a guy who ‘loves’ them today and may ‘love’ someone else tomorrow.

They completely lose themselves.

But what if their ‘Edward’ turns out to be a jerk?

What if he decides he doesn’t ‘love’ her anymore?

What if her ‘life’ walks out on her and never even looks back?

If he was her life, what happens to her if he leaves?

What will she be left with?

Limitless


This movie came out on DVD some time ago and I was never really interested in watching it, until a friend suggested it...

The movie is about this guy Eddie, who is a loser, not going anywhere in life, just going through the motions of everyday, until he is presented with a pill, that supposedly expands the full capacity of his brain, in other words, makes him really intelligent. I know, I know, sounds strange... But that's what happens, he becomes really smart and his life completely changes after that.

Fiction aside, what I really liked about this movie is the idea of how much a person can do and achieve in life when he just THINKS! The problem with many of us is not that we are not smart enough, is just that we are too lazy to think sometimes.

There's something the guy said in the movie that really stuck to me. As he was explaining the effects of the pill, he said 'my shyness, my fears are now gone'. Because he started thinking more, those things could not hold him anymore. How true is that?

If you THINK about it, shyness, doubts and fear are things of the heart and not of the mind. When you follow your reason and not your emotions, you can overcome those things; you can see that they just don't make sense and will never get you anywhere.

We should start thinking more and feeling less. That way we will achieve much more in life, much quicker.

All in all, a very nice movie. It certainly made me want to THINK more...
