- "Everybody wants to be happy."
- "Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live, which can be depressing."
I watched "Closer" on DVD last night and there's this argument between Jude Law's character and Clive Owens' which is quite accurate, I reckon, to describe my condition, at least as I feel today after a very intense hour on the phone with my boyfriend, trying to understand, accept and live with the way we are and love, which can be different but compatible nonetheless.
If you need something badly because you've always dreamt about it but never had it, and when you think you've finally achieved it you find out it's not exactly that, should you go on searching somewhere else and give up the rest, or rather keep what you have and cherish all the good it gives you?
Actually... can you do both?
When there's no love in town, this new century keeps bringing you down, all the places you have been, trying to find a love supreme... oh what are you really looking for, another partner in your life to abuse and to adore... yeah turn down the love songs that you hear 'cause you can't avoid the sentiment that echoes in your ear, saying love will stop the pain, saying love will kill the fear, do you believe, you must believe... come and live a love supreme, don't let it get you down, everybody lives for love...
