The last one can leave you with an ill feeling, too. It all depends on the day, I guess.

I watched the movie "Ever After" this morning (whilst procrastinating study). That movie makes me believe that love really does conquer all. I know it's just a movie, but sometimes films can do that to you. I guess that's the whole point of movies as an art form: to make you feel. Few movies make me believe in true love though, and "Ever After" is one of them. Others include Bridget Jones' Diary, Love Actually, and Finding Neverland. For some reason, these movies can take my breath away when I watch certain scenes, wishing I could feel for someone what these people do.

What a special thing to wait for.
