Flipped


I just finished watching Flipped. You know that story with a boy (Bryce Loski) who was always annoyed by the girl who's clearly madly in love with him and had been stalking him since second grade, he tried everything to avoid her and then when he already did and she didn't like him anymore, he eventually came to realize that he really likes her.

I like the film. Not just because the boy who played Bryce Loski is way too cute, (which I've been ranting about with my cousin) but because I like the idea of it. Of having the courage to show someone how you really feel. Of not getting tired of loving someone even when you're not getting something in return. Of having your own spot (like on top of a tree) wherein you always find peace. Of knowing the best way to say you're sorry. Of knowing when to keep your distance. Of knowing when to stop even when it's too painful. Of having something to believe in. Of accepting things as they are. 

I began to wonder, perhaps I could be Juli, and you could be Bryce. I'm not into sycamore trees or anything but I knew that when I met you, I already flipped. Boy I did try to fight the feeling, but see I kept coming back to you. So I guess maybe someday you'll flip too?
