I think I was born 30. This was from an actual conversation that I had with someone. It's not fun being torn between wanting to sigh and wanting to roll your eyes at romantic comedies. The problem is that even though we know that some of these movies are so ridiculously unreal, we wouldn't enjoy it half as much if they had much reality in them. And the problem with fantasy is that if it ever really happened we'd just be incredulous about it.
Being jaded and in denial is not a great combination but I think sometimes those heart traits show up when you least want them to.
"I think I was born 30" -- That sounds so very funny. You must be joking, right? Every age has its own cheap thrills, I guess. Sometimes even 60 year olds roll their eyes after seeing some romantic flicks.

I'm almost always joking :D It does feel like I've been thirty and cynical all my life - atleast it feels like I've been in my 20s-30s phase for the longest.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I get what you are saying... we know that whatever they show in really good romantic movies don't exist in real life as we know it, but we still believe in them. I've always liked the happy bear, looks like he is stoned here...
