The Exception to the Rule

On the plane from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok I watched the movie, He's Just Not That Into You. I heard that it was a pretty crappy movie but there was nothing else to do so I was like, OKAY, why not.

But you know what. I actually liked it. I thought it was really sweet and funny. There were so many nice quotes in there too. For example:

"if a guy treats you like he doesn’t give a s--- it’s because he doesn’t give a s---.”

"Don’t get tricked into asking him out. If he likes you, he’ll do the asking."

"If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will."

"girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. but sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. maybe the happy ending is just moving on. or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope."

I want to write more on this but I'm off to the gym now. So maybe later.
