Just another typical story

The movie was one of the most typical movies I had ever seen.
The girl and the guy are from two separate worlds but fall in love anyway. Family intervenes, but the girl ends up with the guy at the end and they live happily ever after.

This ladies and gents is no other that The Notebook.

I have gone all my years without seeing this movie, I knew about it and have seen small clips of the movie but never actually sat down to watch the entire thing. I had no interest to do so.

But two nights ago I finally saw the whole movie.

The whole time I just kept thinking, this is so unrealistic. Maybe that's why girls usually like these movies.

Except me, or anyone like me, who are more interested in watching a movie with something real. where the guy doesn't get the girl. Where the mother dies and it doesn't turn a life a whole 360 but still shows appreciation. Movies where it isn't focused on just "love".

I saw this with her actually. The person I've been "talking" to. I don't like that term... talking. There should be something better than using that word. I mean I can't actually say we're talking cause we're taking things slow but I guess I mean talking in the way that our intentions are to develop something eventually... like maybe eight months from now.

Eight months sounds like a good time frame to then start asking "what are we?" right?

Eight months allows a person to get to know another person, and figure out the things we like and may not like. It allows people to really develop a connection. Not just one of those connections where they're physically attracted to one another so a month later or less start dating. And I am in no way trying to judge those who do go that route, but I always believed that a true friendship should be developed first before going anywhere past that.

This girl who I'm whatever with, thinks just like me. We both want to go slow and develop that friendship first.

I especially want to take my time because I want to get it right with her. I tell people that my last relationship took me hurting the other person in order to get stronger, but I don't want that to happen with this girl. This one is different. And I know a lot of people say that, they always point out how "different" the new person they like is, but not for me, I genuinely believe this girl is different.

I look at her and I just want to know everything about her. I want to know how she thinks, and feels. I want to remember the softness in her voice, and the faces she makes when she's confused, sad, happy, or upset. I want to know what she believes in, who she believes in. Or what makes her laugh, what makes her cry. I want to know if she believes in me. If she thinks about the things I think about.

Above all, as weird as it sounds, I want to know what her soul craves.
