Pride & Prejudice
Happy Birthday to me. Today, I turn 28. I feel good. I wasn't feeling quite so cheery earlier when I realized that the majority of people on my list have forgotten my big day. I blame the cool weather. But, c'est la vie.
*****
I went to see 'Pride & Prejudice', a film based on the novel of the same name by Jane Austin. It's one of those feel-great movies, the type of film where you walk out wanting to embrace life.
I couldn't help but apply the same principles that the main character Lizzie put forward. We all have our 'prejudice', whether with a group of people, or a certain person. When our prejudice is uncovered to be false, are we adult and mature enough to put our pride aside to admit we are wrong?
It's a balancing act between our self-importance and happiness sometimes.
For example, I find myself stuck with a certain 'prejudice' of how relationships should work. I compromise, but mostly I stick to my guns because I think I know how it works, but in essence, I am at fault because my ideals are based on the same prejudice that holds me back.
I don't think what I wrote will speak to many people. I'm merely venting. In any case, things didn't work out with Musclegod. When two people have differing goals from the get-go, their relationship is bound for failure. It was a fun ride though. And, I think the world of him.
More later... I'm off to party tonight. Woo-hoo!
