"He appears and disappears, like a sunrise and a sunset, anything so ephemeral. Just like our life. We appear and we disappear. we are so important to some, but we are just... passing through." It is crush, it is connection, it is the fleeting surprise that the unknown world gave you when you were young; before sunset is awakening, it is revival, it is the opportunity that life gives you to correct mistakes; then before midnight is life itself.
Nine years later, we finally know that Jesse failed to catch the flight, so the fairy tale became a reality, and the soulmate became a partner. It is time-consuming and laborious to maintain daily life. In ordinary trivial matters, no matter how good friends are, it is inevitable that they will occasionally care about who you and I have paid more, not to mention Jesse and Celine who have broken their stable lives and rebuilt them from the mess. In adult life, there are as many bad things as you want, from whether you have had an affair with that person, to who should give up more for whom, and should compromise, even if it is a soul mate, it is true love, and the subject of the quarrel is the same. So vulgar.
They talked about their past encounters in the bright sunshine of Greece, heard young couples say that "people will eventually break up or get divorced anyway", and lamented the reality of young people; Be rational and demand that from the other side," nodding in agreement with old-school capitalist values. So is it worth spending too much time in a romantic relationship and expecting a soul mate to eventually emerge? After all, for many people, the joy in life from friends or work is more and more stable.
Yet it is different.
There are many kinds of feelings in this world. Some love is like a cold, and the geese are ferocious and go without a trace, while others are like a stubborn disease, and the wounds are lingering like maggots. No matter how you start, true love always touches the soul. And how rare there are people in the world who can take your pulse and establish a soul-level connection with you.
Maybe many people are just like what Jesse said in his letter in his 20s. At the age of 40, they found that they spent their whole life on people they didn't love. They woke up crying and crying, and their children became the only output.
Fortunately, they met each other, fortunately they understood themselves, and fortunately they came here. Let's see that what was in the air between them 18 years ago and that made everything special, is still there 18 years later; that which made them convinced 9 years ago is different from the boring middle class Class life stuff, reaffirmed 9 years later.
What should an ideal life be like, what life should be like with a soulmate, there are a lot of bad things, the parents have a short ex-wife and an old love, but life is not just like this, there must be moments when our souls can float, in these Shake hands over the trivial ruins.
