I'm watching the movie "the holiday," which is one of my favorite Girly movies (along with love actually and letters to Juliet). The best quote from it is this one, where she's talking about having your heart broken. Man I know that feeling:
Iris: I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade. -- IMDb Quotes: The Holiday (2006)
This is so true...I remember I had this one moment where I was going through a heart-wrenching break-up with my college boyfriend and I was in my hometown for a school break and downtown alone sitting on a bench in the sun and feeling so terrible and in the depths of despair and I looked up and felt the sun so warm on my face and I knew right then that I was going to be alright. It was like something shifted just then inside of me - there was warm sun on my face and the world was still spinning and moving on. Sometimes I think I feel most alive when everything around me is in chaos. It's like then I can truly feel or something. I'm not sure. Not that I'm going to break up with every love that enters my life just to feel that moment inside where something shifts from dark to light - but that feeling, when it happens, is so profound.
