Summer: “Tom could be a really good architect if he wanted”
Woman: “Oh really, why so different.”
Tom: ” I just thought, why make something that can just be thrown away, like a building, when you can create something permenant, like a greetings card.”

Also i love tom’s quote.
“You know what sucks? Realizing that everything you believe in is complete and utter bullshit”

And when tom is going into the architect interview on day 500, the narrator says;
“Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life.”

Such an incredible film, i first saw it just after my “500 days” had ended, i was completely emotionly distraught and it really brought me back up, now i watch it whenever i feel down.

Day (280) all of a sudden I said I wanted to break up, because I think I have this self fulfilling prophecy to sabotage anything good in my life. I don’t think I really understood what I had done until it was too late.

We talked on and off but didn’t see each other and then on
Day (476) I ran into him in the summer and I was with a guy who was only my friend. This guy and I had been friends for seven years. My ex knew this guy and I were only friends but for some reason he wanted to fight him. My ex never actually started a fight because he is not like that but it was almost foreshadowing what was to come. As if he had some weird feeling that this guy was actually going to change both our lives forever.

Day (500) My friend is in the military and out of nowhere I just up and got married to him not even a month after seeing my ex. I was so lost in my life and I think I just wanted some stability, I was not thinking clearly. I know my ex must have felt like Tom. How he didn’t know I was even engaged because I wasn’t. I know he was angry and upset because it totally suprised him .

Unfortunately it is not working out for me, because I didn’t marry someone I was in love with. Now I have to live with never knowing if I ruined the chance to be with the only person I have ever been in love with. I don’t even speak to my husband that often, we’re still friends but its not like we are together.

I ran into my ex last week for the first time since I have been married. I hadn’t seen him since last summer and I woke up that morning and for some reason I knew I was going to run into him, I had even told my mother. It was so awkward and painful to see him. I was very casual and asked how he was doing and he jumped right to where is your husband ? all these questions about that. I didn’t ask him if he had a gf and where is she. We ended the conversation with well it was good seeing you, and that was it. I just feel like there is no closure.
I called my ex the next day to try and talk with him and I told him that I just wanted to explain what happened soo he would understand more and not have this false impression of me. He said he was angry still about the situation and that the only reason he was upset was because he saw me making all these crazy decisions, and then he said he has a gf. I’m not sure I believe him, I think that he just can’t talk to me because he is bitter still about the situation. I guess I just need to take advice from the Beatles and Let It Be…

something like “i nominate (sp) young……..”

thanks X

same as tom, I’ve been in-loved with a so beautiful girl that every man wants to have.. well, i got her..

then we’ve been together so long and just had that of tom and summer..
we kissed, we danced, we slept together and all.. i loved her so much like she’s totally the right girl waitin for me to be found.. but we were not in a relationship..
then i began to think of why are we not being committed to each other when things like this happen.. i was thinking of how tom was thinking in the movie..

well i confronted my girl and just the same happened to us.. she gets mad when i tell people that im her boyfriend.. but then we were able to fix things and get along with each other again.. (but still, we’re not in a relationship)..

then time came.. i saw her with other man.. it burned a lot inside of me..
i cried.. i wept.. i just dont understand it.. she told me that she has a boyfriend and my tears had almost blown off my eyes..

i know we were in love with each other.. yes i was very sure of it..
girls like her and summer? i just dont get it.. whats in their head?
whats wrong??? it took a lot of me to move on and forget all things happened to us.. well it took a long time..

but when i watched this movie, it brought back all the memories with her again and made me cry.. but thanks to this movie, i realized that i was just not lookin around.. i was just looking at one point of space, and thats her..

i put her in the center of my universe, that’s why i feel like its a very big loss in my part..
but in reality, there are so many fishes out there in the sea.. why am i sticking to one fish if i can hook one more and be contented if i would find the right one..

(sigh).. first time i did something like this.. to write the story of my life in public.. well, it made me feel better somehow.. lol
