I know the feeling of seeing a character in a movie mirror yourself a little too closely, or to feel that with just a slight adjustment it could be me.<br /><br />As long as you are happy, that is worth so much as it is. Our society places a lot of emphasis on relationships being the ultimate way to happiness, but self-worth and confidence can equal that. Loneliness is loneliness, definitely, but never forget that your own self-worth is always worth more than another person's opinion.<br /><br />Also, don't feel that these things are unattainable; just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist for you! Try new things, meet new people, and be honest with yourself about what you want out of life. True friendships usually appear when you least expect it. :)Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16761543462393494808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-20296093319199207402015-09-24T17:01:06.883-04:002015-09-24T17:01:06.883-04:00Wow...slow claps.

As I near a milestone (25...), I've nearly resigned myself to the lack of romance in my life forever. Like you, it's something I'm ok with but that I usually bemoan from time to time. There is a rush in society, some invisible timeline that makes us feel like we need to have a first kiss and a million other firsts at some allotted time. I once read a story about two people who got married in their 80s! But I'm still ok if that doesn't happen for me.

Yes.

The one thing I've always envied about movies is the relationships. I've been blessed with the most amazing movie-worthy friendships, but not a romantic relationship. I realize the older I get that I'm okay with that and where I am and how I live my life. However, the envy never quite goes away...<br /><br />Love this:<br /><br /><i>Movies speak to us when we need to hear them. They tell us things that resonate based on where we are in our lives, and they comfort us when we need comforting.</i><br />DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-30991485929741547882015-09-24T08:56:13.417-04:002015-09-24T08:56:13.417-04:00I understand what you mean, and thank you for open...I understand what you mean, and thank you for opening up and writing about something that rarely seems to be mentioned in the blog world! <br /><br />As cheesy as it might sound, the one thing I've always wanted is to be a wife and mom. And I always just assumed that I would probably be married by the time I was 25. Well, I'll be 25 next April, and I've never even dated before. When I think about it too much, I start to feel panicked that this self-imposed deadline is getting ready to pass and nothing has changed. I feel like I've spent the past 10 years dreaming about meeting the right guy, and I don't think I'm any closer to that now than I was then.<br /><br />I don't have any answers, and I feel like this comment doesn't really express what I want to say. Just know that you're not alone in feeling this way.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-73312580802122858492015-09-24T01:57:19.810-04:002015-09-24T01:57:19.810-04:00I don't have anything articulate to say but I ...I don't have anything articulate to say but I LOVED this post. I relate to it on a very deep level. This?: 'I can't even fathom a future in which I'm not on my own. I can't imagine someone telling me they love me.' That's exactly how I feel, too.<br /><br />I also find that I tend to write more about how films affect me emotionally than the film itself. It's the only way I seem to really be able to process them.<br /><br />Anyway, thank-you for writing this. There's always a comfort when someone writes something and you just think 'wow, did they just take this from my brain???' (Although I've not seen Now, Voyager, yet).<br /><br />-Andi xAndi B.
