The Truth


Today after lunch, my mother, aunt, and I began to discuss relationships and how they fail. After getting in to much conflict with one another we decided to head home. However, my mother started to complain about the fact that we haven't had any mother-daughter time together in a pretty long time. You know when a mother tells you this, some daughters run for their life. "No, pull my tooth out or pull my hair out, just no mother-daughter time." This statement is beyond ludicrous because I love spending time with my mother. She is really funny and comes up with great conversations that don't make me feel uncomfortable at all. So, anyways, we decided to watch a movie. I had heard a lot of great comments about He's just not that into you by fellow classmates and I recommended it as a suggestion. After much deliberation, we chose to watch HJNTIY (my abbreviation for the movie "He's just not...). I am glad I listened to my classmates because this movie was beyond amazing. It discusses relationship problems and how to fix a relationship that's going awry. Especially these days, when parents seem to be getting divorces or separating quite frequently. I have seen so many marriages fall apart in my family and I thought it was clever to produce a movie explaining the flaws of dating. This way a girl doesn't has to wait day and night for a guy's call and spend each and every waking moment staring at the telephone. You can't magically force somebody to call you just because you want them to. I mean if a guy's not calling you, don't bother. There were also the cliches that many female companions shared with their girlfriends like you are too good for him, maybe something happened, maybe he lost your number. These statements make us feel better but deep down it's depressing when you realize the obvious reason. He's just not that into you!! So, girls don't worry about him; there is a "perfect" guy for all of us out there. We just have to keep looking. The good thing is we still have time...

Ugh people keep talking about this movie! I really want to go see it! but i do agree mother daughter time is very important. Although for me it is pretty hard to sit down and start off the conversations, I never regret it. Moms are amazing!

Me and my mom are definitely not close, but for some reason, this movie kind of brought us together. After the movie, we talked about men and how they are so complex, just like us ladies!
