Very beautiful 🤩 It’s like Roses 🌹 from Titanic … IIRC … haven’t seen it in years…
Just confirmed: it was the scene where Cal gives Rose her diamond necklace.
The Heart of the Ocean … 🌊

That theme song was one of the first songs I learned on the piano to impress the ladies in school. I really was a hopeless romantic back then lol!!!
Sure, it impressed them, but I was still perpetually friend zoned. Always wanted the girls that were way out of my league back then. Things didn't start to change for me until I went to summer camp just for teen. I took the opportunity to work out constantly. Then I reinvented my identity. That was when my confidence soared, got my first girlfriend, and things started to change for me.
Holy fuck. Bringing up some old dusty memories here Whit lol!!!
It Sounds like a good memory. Right?
Do you still play piano?
Being friend zoned crosses all barriers. Think everyone has experienced it. For me: The idea of dating someone “out of my league” always came down to intelligence.
Meaning: I’ve only ever been intimidated by someone who I allowed myself to believe was more intelligent & thereby in another league.
Humans always human. Keep it weird. 🫂
I do not really like remembering my childhood. I spent most of my adult life thinking it was OK, but upon further introspecting and picking away at scabbs of repressed memories. I was a privledged depressed suicidal asshole child of two wealthy over achieving materialistic parents. Who let me do anything I wanted and gave me whatever I wanted, but I was very mentally troubled for lack of proper parenting and a very poor diet.
They were the lets give him a bunch of psych drugs and send him to every kind of psych doctor there is. Instead of taking the time ourselves to help discover the root of the problems and raise him right. Got into way too much trouble for bad parenting too.
I look back at those times in regards to being a hopeless romantic and thinking you son of a bitch. Look at all these other girls who were actually interested in you, but you were too entitled to notice a high quality potential relationship if it bit you in the ass. You wanted the pretty popular shallow models while the wholesome intelligent also beautiful ones tried their best to get your attention. I'd beat the shit out of my teenage self if I could for that one.
I do still play the piano. Can play the guitar and xylophone too. Any song I hear I can figure out how to play by ear in well under an hour for the most part. More complicated music may take me a couple hours, but overall it is easy to do.
I will always keep it weird. That is one of my defining personality attributes in life lol.
It’s awesome you can play by ear. Respect 🫡
Looking back over life I’ve never found a reason to be upset about my choices. It’s helped produce me. Humbly, it’s made me more empathetic & kind. World needs more of that IMLE. And love … pure love 💜. World needs all we can give it IMO. Hugs 🫂
I am learning that everything happens for a reason. I would not be who I am, or who I am with if it wasn't for everything that occurred in my lifetime.
I would appreciate not having multiple layers of PTSD and all of the emotional baggage. As well as the physical, mental, and spiritual work still to do on myself. lol!!!
Do you believe Earth is a school? We each choose to learn and grow is how I’ve always viewed it.
Years ago a man asked me: Do you fall in love easily?
My response: yes, but I never fell in love with you.
Which looking back was a lie.
My point is we all have trauma. Some of it is self inflicted & sometimes it just happens as a lesson. Am I making sense?
Some of what you say makes sense.
What is earth school?
Since childhood, I always looked at earth like a big school.
Everyone we meet is both a teacher (and a student) and we’re all just trying to make a life on earth.
Me thinks most people are just trying to do the best they can, despite all our drama and biases and all things that make us human. That’s one reason I say “ Humans always human “
Genuinely though, I prefer eye to eye contact cause so much is lost 😞 online.
Be love ❤️ is all I know. It’s often been confused and yes even abused … but it’s on me to own my energy & try to filter others.
Parents often make mistakes but it makes us who we are. Forgiving my parents changed my life years ago. 🫂
