Fiction vs Reality

Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. 

~Meet Joe Black

I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. 

~The Notebook

I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.

~Good Will Hunting

Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you. 

~Dirty Dancing

These are my favourite movie quotes. These are what I thought I had with my Ex. But it just didn't work out, and it's nobody's fault. Now I'm missing the passion and intensity that I once had. I talked to my sister tonight about my doubts about Nice Guy and she told me I deserved butterflies and goosebumps. That if I wasn't feeling it then it was as simple as that. She thinks I should just stand still for a while, keep the relationship where it is. I shouldn't cross the bridge but I shouldn't burn it either. So I guess I'll leave it at that. The only thing is I really hate hurting people, and I know Nice Guy has fallen hard for me so if this doesn't work out I'm going to feel terrible.
