A New Meaning

Tonight I watched 500 Days of Summer for the second time in my life.

I realized a lot of things.

Mainly that once again, it is a metaphor for my life. 

But in a very, very different way than it was last time. 

The part near the beginning. Where Summer averages 14.8 double takes on her daily commute. I get the significance of what someone once said to me. Wow.

 When they're on the train on the way home from the wedding. I tried not to cry.

Where Tom isn't even thinking about it, but while he's sitting on the bus later in the movie because he's managed to get himself up and become an architect, Summer is getting married to someone else.

It's all so sad, yet so great. 

Because even though it's not a happy ending per say, it is.

If I go back and look at my blog post from when I was about to watch the movie for the first time, it's crazy how different I am now. Maybe that's what makes the movie mean something completely different for me this time.

But nevertheless. It's still a great movie.
