Back in August I went with my sister Cori, her friend Adriane and a friend of mine to Movies 8 and saw Letters to Juliet. I fell in love with the movie and couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD. You better believe that the day it finally came out I went and got it. I had Whit watch it with me as soon as she had some free time and got her to see why I love the movie so much. Toward the end of the movie Claire reads the letter that Sophie sent her regarding love. This really hit me... Her words have really got me thinking...
Dear Claire, What and if are two words as non threatening as words can be, but put them together side by side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.... What if... What if... What if... I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like. A love to leave loved ones for a love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it that I'd have the courage to seize it. And Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet
This is the kind of love that I am searching for... I want a love that is true and I would do anything for. It may be the romantic in me but I won't stop searching until I find this love. The end of the first paragraph also really hit me... "What if..." I know that the past is the past and we really shouldn't dwell on it... but sometimes I get to wondering... for instance... What if... I would have gone to homecoming junior year with a certain boy, other than the "boyfriend" I had at the time... Would life have turned out different? Some days I would like to imagine they would have. Not that I am complaining because the life I have lived has been full of important lessons for me. Sometimes I just find myself wondering...
