Movie review: Changing Lanes
Well. This isn't really a moview review. Not in the real sense. However. It is a movie I've just come from watching, and it struck a cord with me. First it features possibly my favourite actor, Samuel L. Jackson. [Why does his name have that initial?] For me, it was a representation of the concept of doing right, or at least attempting to do things right. I guess it's just something that I believe in.
P.S:
I'm too lazy to start another post, so I'll just put a note here. I've just met a chic friend of mine who I met during my days at Strath. We got talking and before I knew it, the conversation was all about me and I was having to defend myself, answering questions like "Ati you can't be friends with a chic?". Anyway, what really saddened me is her, and her other chic friend's assertion that one can't love 2 people, ever! There's only the one. Apparently this pal of hers had a tight boyfie who passed away and she has vowed never to be in another relationship ever again. Well, she says it's not a conscious choice, but just that she can't love another person again. What a loss. She's probably just 25. What a pity.

So has she sentenced herself to a life where she will never really love someone?
Your right, she is only 25 and what she liked/likes about the guy who died are not necessarily what she will like later on..its a pity..she should be open to new ideas (more like people)
I think immediately after being in a good (or even bad)relationship that ends suddenly it feels utterly impossible to love someone else, (i know from experience)thats why guys sometimes take up to two years 'recovering' before they are ready to love again. She's hopefully speaking that way coz thats how she honestly feels but after her recovery she will probably be able to love again
I pointed out that the feeling may be that of a broken heart, but they kept saying that you can't love another person like "the one". I didn't try to convince them any further.
The saddest part for me was how sad the recently bereaved chic looked. [I'd met her sometime before, so she wasn't a total strange. Truth be told, I'd have liked to get to know her better then. I think I even tried.] Life is to be enjoyed. Losing anyone is tough, and it changes everything, but what do we do. Perhaps she'll get married to the church or something like that, and not be hang up for too long. People do grieve differently, and for different periods. When my dad passed away, I couldn't mention his name or his death for 2 months. 2+ years down the road, I still have difficult moments. However, life must go on, as hard as it may seem.
