letters of the heart

so I just watched the movie dear john. in this day and age its crazy to think i actually read the book by nicholas sparks prior to seeing the movie but i did and i'm happy i did because it only intensified my enjoyment of the movie. is it really possible to experience these moments that are depicted in film or even in writing? i'm not a crier but the feelings and the emotions are so heartfelt that i was moved to tears by both the book and the movie. the possibility of not finding love will never surpass finding love and losing it either voluntarily or involuntarily. it hurts to think that the circumstances of our life can create the challenges that may prevent us from experiencing what we are working so hard to achieve...love; even if we don't realize that it is what we are working so hard to achieve.
