When Love Begins - finally napanood din

"When Love Begins"

"It's not enough to accept me for what I am, but also for what I'm not." - Mitch

True. 100% true. The mere fact that accepting someone is not easy, at all, but embracing also other people's shortcomings is another part. We can't just force someone to adapt things we're used to live with. People have different ways of showing and making things happen, maybe our way or their own way. Some can be touchy, would rather say how they feel rather than show it, and some just won't show nothing but would be there. But no matter how different two people can be, if you want it to work, you'd do anything to make it; accept and never expect; easier said than done. I've tried a lot of times not to expect anything from someone but it takes a lot of time, pride, and patience to do that. Because after all the disappointments, you'll then realize that you can't change someone unless it would start from them, and also you'll realize that they've accepted everything you are (good and bad) but they never complained. Then from there you'd slowly try to make little steps towards your goal of not expecting anything, to lessen disappointments and arguments. In time you'll get there.

The most inspiring idea the movie gave me, was the "hope of waiting". Waiting can be painful, especially when that's the only thing can do. Because that's the only way you know how to make it and reach the end point, the main point of the relationship. No matter how hard each day could get, every hour/minute counts, every waking day to be noticed, if waiting for something so great to happen in the end, it's worth it.
