“It was like magic — each time I felt Ethan looking away, I would look at him and vice versa. I almost fell in love with him right there, but then Rick said cut.”
julie delpy talking about this scene from before sunrise (1995)
Humility is not to degrade one's self, but to accept one's state in life and act accordingly. Pretending to be better than what we really are is lying.
I don't want to fall in love, at least not for a long while.
I've honestly always felt and known that I need a woman in my life to complete me. But when I'm in love, I don't recognize myself; I get weak, fragile and can't handle the overwhelming feelings.
I still don't know whether I expect too much or too little from people. What I do know is I've been having an unhealthy amount of time figuring out if they are.
