Whoa. I just finished Gone Girl, oh man that girl is CRAAAAAzzzy.
But anyways. Here's what I got from both the movies I watched today (watched Imitation Game earlier): "It really matters that people like you." --> I put that in quotes because it doesn't. But in Imitation Game the girl encourages the guy to be nice to the other guys so that they like him and want to be on his side so he can accomplish his goal. Then in Gone Girl, the reporter / lawyer guy tries to train the guy how to give answers that will make him eventually be liked.
Ugh. Like like like like, heart heart heart heart, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, freaking Group Me. I'm just so sick of it all. Can we all just start being ourselves and stop caring about if people like us? This is why I don't tell very many people about my blogs, because the second I know people are reading them or that certain people are reading them, I start to write what I think they want or will grab their attention or what I think will get me what I want.
That's also what I liked about Gone Girl - when she talks in her "diary" about how when people first meet, they try to be "cool," try to be the person the other person wants them to be. Ugh. That stuff doesn't last, people. It may not turn your marriage into a disturbing, psycho, half real-half fake murder mystery, but it might eventually seem like you married someone you didn't really know. Also we should probably never trust people we just met at a party who are just randomly all-of-a-sudden just soooo into us. I mean it's nice because it sort of makes you feel like, "Huh, yeah I am awesome," but let's be real. None of us are awesome. And people are people. We're flawed. There are some good parts of us, some bad parts of us. And it's nice to live life with a partner, a best friend, a lover; but they will probably not be anything like the fantasy we've been dreaming up in our head our whole life, you know what I'm saying?
I don't even know what I'm saying. I don't know if I'll ever get married, but I do know that I want to be myself, always... when I'm alone, when I'm with my friends, when I'm with people that aren't my friends, and (if it so happens) when I'm married. So I guess that's what I'm saying.
