(1000) Posts. (500) days of summer. After many, many viewings of (500) Days of Summer and some recent life experiences, I honestly feel I have a better understanding of the film. As some of you may remember, I blogged about myself and the film for my 500th tumblr post. This post is in lieu of my 1000th post, even though I might be a little late… I used to feel sorry for Tom Hanson, but now I know that he was his own worst enemy. You see, Tom fought so hard to win Summer back, but I don’t think Tom really knew what he was even fighting for. I mean, I didn’t know what I was fighting for. I thought I knew… I thought I was fighting for something that made me happy, something that made me a better person, something that was worth fighting for. But I was wrong. I guess in the end, I was so blind by the thought of what sounded ‘perfect on paper’. And if the battle wasn’t already hard, accepting that you’ve lost the battle was even worse. I honestly felt like it was the end of the world, as if everything I ever knew and believed in was gone. After being emo for a few days, I listened to a lot of music and tried to avoid any social interactions. I was so content with being alone in my room just so people couldn’t see how pathetic I was. And then it happened, the unexpected. In a fairy tale, that person I was fighting for would have turned around and come back to my life, but life is no fairy tale. Instead, I meet someone else - a complete stranger. And with this person, I begin to realize that everything I fought for was wrong… I was fighting for an idea moreso than something that actually made me happy. And through this person, I realized that I had been blind for so long… that maybe, maybe I ‘just wasn’t looking’. It happens to all of us sooner or later, the inevitable heartbreak - the one that leaves us completely helpless. But let me tell you, it doesn’t mean that you have to beat yourself over the head. I know it’s hard, but things will get better. I have no regrets though, because in the end, everything worked out for the best. It’s okay to fight for something and realize you’re wrong, sometimes you have to lose the battle so you realize what really is worth fighting for. Tom has his Autumn and I’m here to tell you that we’ve all got an Autumn waiting for us somewhere, you’ve just got to get over Summer.
