people u can't leave behind

in her blog my really precious and wise friend dimi had written a post entitled the people u leave behind where she talked abt people we have met in a past moment of our life and that after a point we should get over them

in this post i wanna talk about people we can't leave behind as the title is suggesting
i'm talking about people that have made a great impact on our life
people who have made a difference in the way we see things nowadays
people whom we've met in a specific time of our life where everything was possible and where we'd let things happen to us, where everything was new and open to us
people who are special only because we loved them truly either referring to love or even friendship or maybe both and then we rejected them and after that we realized that they deeply loved us and it was a mistake getting away from them after all but by then it was already too late
people they loved us for who we really are,for all our weaknesses and particularities
people they thought we were perfect at the moment and this feeling can never be lost whatsoever

however there's also the case of people we cant leave behind not because of all the things we've shared with them and their influence on us
sometimes the present and the unresolved past don't let us get over some situations where certain people are involved in
sometimes the present can be so boring and meaningless and unbearable to us that we tend to idealize the past, we tend to remember only the bright parts and forget all the negative things that encouraged us to be cruel or even to break up relationships
many times i stronly believe we just think of the past in a different way than what really happened so we regret about the way things have turned out
we want to go back to the past as all the remains from those days are still inside us deeply and don't let us move forward

remember we can never turn back time unfortunately to erase things with the knowledge of the present circustances
however things would be different in the present if we could change the past so easily ...
i mean u can never be sure abt how things will turn out and how they could be different if...
time is everything thats my belief so just do things the way u feel like at the moment and dont think abt them too much
a decision or a choice once made has its own consequences and u've to bear all responsibility for it...every choice we make at a time has its own sacrifice, load for each one of us and this is true though cruel and irreversible it may sound

SO then sometimes we SHOULD leave people behind us as dimi tells us to
whats done is done and we shouldn't regret about things we did in the past since there's no point to it
the past can be a misleading guide for the present
GET OVER IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

most importantly never forget to say to people u care abt how much u love them-
everyone wants to hear that even the most cynical ones -dimi!!!!!!!!
this is a useful piece of advice from the preacher of love

KIND REQUEST
i wish to hear my viewers' comments on the way they think past can hold us back

So Nice So Smart


i woke up today quite early so that i can start studying for my next exam which will be taken in 6 days for now and i’ll be fine until then because i've got considerably enough amount of time to cover the whole material
anyways the subject is called investment and portfolio theory and for those who are not aware of it it’s about money hahah i mean finance actually which is the most boring thing u can do in economics…it’s really unbearable and it appeals mostly to students who are the so called geeks of econ…in general we tend to make fun of the finance-geeks
so as am bored to continue with this useful indeed but quite uninteresting to me material i gave it up and started listening to music to make myself more intrigued to study the damn thing
i opened my i-tunes (harry’s tunes) which contain a large variety of music selections starting with the trends and classics such as oasis-blur-the verve-arctic monkeys-the cardigans-the beatles-nina simone-depeche mode-smashing pumpkins-elliot smith-the killers-moby-miles davis-norah jones-aphex twin-animal collective-the panda bear-burial-modest mouse-the national-the cure-nirvana-pixies-porcupine tree-explosions in the sky-lsd soundsystem-metronomy-ladytron-daft punk-the white stripes-the organ-yeah yeah yeah-philip glass-kvita-mikael delta-and the list is really looong to stop here and in general chilled stuff good music of whatever genre exclusively in english though…



this brings me to what i really want to say now


when a film can cheer u up
these days i can’t stop listening to the soundtrack of the film juno
it’s so perfect i’d say
i strongly recommend it to anyone who just wants to have a break from real life and escape to a sweeter and nicer world where there is no such thing as adulthood
everyone has managed to maintain their freshness, originality, innocence and youth
spontaneity and kindness are the only motives that encourage people to act and react in daily situations
also the film is a pure delight to watch
if u haven’t watched it yet what are u waiting for??? go ahead

the script is perhaps the most winning factor in this film: packed with sharp, eclectic dialogue that fizzes with delight and provides an overdose of clever, quotable remarks (more than tarantino could even lay claim to)
it's fresh and intelligent, but the humour (this film is an absolute riot) never forgets the movie's subject matter and how deadly serious it can become
scenes of marital struggles particularly remind the viewer of the situation we're witnessing, and emotional impact is always present
the story can perhaps even be seen as a relevant one: an individual, free-thinking young woman still in high school becomes unexpectedly pregnant and after choosing to not abort the unborn infant, decides to give her baby to two adoptive parents who may not after all be ready for parenthood
individuality is the true triumph of this film

when scenes of the film pop into my head and i start listening to its songs like:
tree hugger,all i want is you,sea of love,anyone else but you and...
then my whole everything is getting illuminated
the universe seems a brighter place to live in
when am really stressed or nervous or depressed abt sth,
the perfect remedy is this film and its music
the other day i was getting horrified because of a really hard exam i was dying to pass (how stupid does this sound to you??), so i just listened to the tree hugger and immediately i was cured
juno is probably the best drug out there at the moment

pursue your individuality

u’re so nice and u’re so smart
u’re such a good friend i have to break your heart
i’ll tell u that i love u then i’ll tear your world apart
just pretend i didn’t tear your world apart

"he is the cheese to my macaroni" -juno
