When simplicity is the best

i just finished my night by watching Sex and The City, the movie.

Yes i know i am like so slow to watch it. The movie didnt capture my attention at all when it was launched, simply because i have not been a follower of the sitcom at all. Once a while, i might catch one episode or half of it from the telly and that's all.

So this evening out of boredom, i thought i should give it a shot. When i turned it on, i realised it was actually a copy made by some Lebanese videoing it secretly in the cinema. I thought it would have been a doom with lousy sound quality and all, but it didnt. The picture was clear and so was the sound. The best thing is, there is no walking figure during the whole movie and there was no coughing too. Eventually i have forgotten that it was a secret shooting.

It was a nice movie. All because i have no expectation of it. In the movie, it talked about marriage, cheating, trying to get pregnant, and even not feeling contented when Samantha was loved and being adored by a hollywood star. It revolves around four different women trying to figure out their love life as well as not loosing themselves along the way.

When Mr Big decided to chicken out on his big wedding day, i feel him. Wedding is indeed a big thing and all the preparations and all are mostly to show off to others. This is has been the dilemma i have been having. Why the fuss when wedding is about two person? Just like what Carrie said, it is just you and me. And along the way, she got so carried away by it that the wedding got bigger and bigger, and then she realised that it has all been what she wanted, not both. At the end, after a short break up, heart broken and tears fell, they reconciled, and got married in the City Hall, just the two of them.

And i find that very calming. As long as the married is about two different souls decided to get together and to live as one, everything else doesnt matters anymore. Who said that one will loose oneself along the way if one is to be real to oneself and still ones life fully? This are what i took out from the movie.

For me, i am still being haunted by the idea of marriage due to what i have seen happening around me, and i still am still a captive by it. Maybe marriage is not so horrible and frightful after all when things are simple and you know that you will never loose yourself when you still know who you are. If one ever will loose that, it is because they let it happen to them. The choice is always on ones hand.

Simple and be myself. It's that easy.
