Today Katy Perry's video "the one that got away" premiered online. The song is about how you make promises to a person about forever and the like, but it never really works out. Or in katy's case, the guy (played by Diego Luna I LOVE HIM) just met an accident..Oh shes so dramatic! hahhaa but anyway it IS a pretty sad story. That and finally looking up the lyrics of "dreams" by fleetwood mac gave me a morning filled with many forms of wondering about what could have been.
"Like a heartbeat that drives you mad, in the stillness of remembering"
I'm not really talking about anything or anyone in particular (scandalous!), but its just the general feeling of being nostalgic. I mean Its not like I'm this rock who doesn't feel these things. I think everyone more or less wonders into these bitter-sweet memories once in a while.
but then it hit me, thinking about what could have been is to put yourself into a corner.
There is no such thing. "what could have been" is a myth.
I genuinely believe that if you really want something, then there is no fear, only certainty. When you know something to be so true then you would fight for it no matter what - it wouldn't make you sad, but happy to even try. There is no "what could have been" because if its not happening, then it shouldn't be happening. If you're allowing your fear or whatever to stop you from getting into something, then maybe its just not the right thing.
Everyone glamorizes us into thinking that relationships are supposed to hurt. so when it does hurt us too much, were killing ourselves over it but enduring it anyway because we think its part of the program. So when we look back, we think to ourselves "oh god it was so good even with all the bad stuff." but if that were the case, then why is it different now? if youre really dreaming of what could have been, and you want it so badly, then you should just make it happen. If you know its a risk worth taking, then take it!
otherwise, we can't really complain (unless you know, god forbid the person just dies like in Titanic). Its just life running its course. It doesn't always go our way and thats okay. But we are capable of trying to change it, and if we (or the person in question) won't even try, then maybe its just not worth changing. and thats okay too. so all ya'll young ladies out there who are getting emotional with the song, CHEEEL! (easier said than done, but really there is nothing more pointless)
PS
Just a random thing to add, In Katy Perry's video, I really felt bad for the guy who she grew old with - the one she didnt seem to love. I mean if youre dreaming about someone who's gone, then why leach unto someone else and make them believe that theyre the one in your heart? Shit, Katy. just cause youre hurting doesn't give you the right to hurt the one's around you. or maybe she married him for money or something. UGH WHATEVER why am i even thinking about this :))
i just wanted to put it here.. I mean thats life for you. now go and love the world!!!
