(500) Posts, (500) Days of Summer

The first few times I watched 500 Days of Summer, I always saw myself as a Tom Hanson. I thought I was more of a hopeless romantic, someone who believed in love at first sight and would get sucked up into the idea of ‘love’.

But now, I’m beginning to think I’m more of a Summer Finn. You see, Summer was never a bad person. Summer was real. She didn’t want to get hurt - and she didn’t want to hurt anyone else. She knew what she wanted. Although she may have ‘deceived’ Tom, she did tell him upfront that she wasn’t looking for anything. It’s not that I’m not looking for anything, I just don’t want to waste ‘time’ or ‘feelings’. I feel that if you meet the right one, you just know.

‘I just woke up one morning and knew… what I never was sure of with you’

It’s bitter. Harsh. Real.

Although Summer may have seem coldhearted, there was always that little bit of her that did believe in ‘true love’. I’m far from being a disbeliever of love… To be honest, I’ve always been swayed by the thought of meeting someone in a little coffee shop. Too bad I hate coffee.

And so, as Summer Finn, I just want to enjoy my time in LA. I’m young and should be carefree. I’m here to learn, have fun, and gain new experiences. The idea of true love would just be an added bonus. It’s not something I’m looking for, but I guess it’ll find me.
