Showtime

I watched the movie The Holiday twice this weekend (the perks of being at home sick), and as stupid as it sounds, it was such an eye opening experience for me. Two of the characters have an unrequited love, and just seeing how weak the characters became whenever their love would call or visit gave me a V8 moment.

I have been that person.

I have been that weak.

But that was then.

I am stronger than this.

"You broke my heart. And you acted like somehow it was my fault, my misunderstanding, and I was too in love with you to ever be mad at you, so I just punished myself! For years! But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday, and telling me that you don't want to lose me whilst you're about to get MARRIED, somehow newly entitles me to say, it's over. This - This twisted, toxic THING between us, is finally finished! I'm miraculously done being in love with you! Ha! I've got a life to start living. And you're not going to be in it. "

Iris, from The Holiday
