Friday, January 25, 2008 I've just watched Before Sunrise, in which Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy play two young people who meet randomly on a EuroStar, and spend one eventful night in Vienna. He's American, catching a flight out of Vienna after breaking up with his girlfriend in Madrid. She's on the Eurostar going back to Paris after visiting her grandmother in Budapest. They strike up a conversation and decide they have to keep talking, even after the train reaches Vienna. So he persuades her to join him for one night, then board the train and go back to her life again the next day. They spend the rest of the night talking about their lives, their hopes and dreams, their past, their quirks, things that annoy them... everything. Compressed conversations of a lifetime, all the while aware of the pressing urgency of the approaching dawn. And finally, they each go back to their lives, not knowing it will be another nine years before they meet again. Suffice to say I'm depressed. I watch Before Sunrise and Before Sunset over and over, and it never fails to make me depressed, but I always comes back to it because I get caught up in the dialogue. AnRu reminisced at 4:39:00 PM.
Tuesday, January 01, 2008 Against all odds, here we are again, facing a new year. This past year was overwhelming, with change around every corner. Certainly it was the most exhilarating end to my adolescence. Yet through all that, I think I somehow managed to stick to my resolutions. I've cut my hair short - something I've been thinking about doing for a couple of years now. I've also (kind of) learnt to not regret the choices I make. I haven't quite managed to lose as much weight as I'd intended to, but surely that can be made up for. This past year, like a chapter out of my life story, wove its tale around two intertwined but wholly separate concepts. Love and Loss; which every teenager stepping past the threshold into adulthood ought to prepare themselves for. Selfless and unconditional Love - as Love should be, and Loss; pitch black and hollow. I've felt Love tug at my heartstrings, let Loss consume my spirit. Still I believe I'm now better for it. I feel old, yes. Beyond my years, and much wiser. The "what if"s and "if only"s that previously clouded my view of the future have been left behind with the past year. I bring with me now only the better memories, the lessons learnt from past failures, true friends. This year, I'm hoping for change and stability. Change in mindset, attitude and choices in life; Stability in relationships and financial matters. This time, I know I'll get it right. How can I not, with an angel guiding my path? 2008. Like a prayer, come what may. AnRu reminisced at 11:30:00 PM.
