What is the last thing you learned?

 Because life… is not a movie. Everyone lies. Good guys lose. And love… does not conquer all.

Buddy Ackerman – Swimming with Sharks (1994)

When I was a teenager, around the year that movie came out, I had a notebook filled with movie quotes. That was one of them. Now, after a (recent) series of unfortunate events, I was reminded of it and I’m still learning that :

• Life (and everything in it) will not always turn out the way I planned it or want it. We shouldn’t fall in love with ideas.
• People will lie to you for various reasons: either they feel they have to or they want to. I know… but it hurts anyway.
• Doesn’t matter how good I try to be or the good things I do… It will never be enough. I’m a loser after all.
• Last but not least… Love is never enough. It’s not always a two way street.
