is sex the only thing left in the city?

so i saw the movie sex and the city 2 despite critics i loved it but thats probably because i'm a fan; but please believe that i wasnt blind to the fact the women were older you could see it; there were glimpses of scenes where the age showed a wrinkle here, a little loose skin there. here's the thing do you rush to romance so you are not old and alone or do you wait until the real thing finds you no matter how long it takes you? so after my movie i had a 30 minute battle with myself about whether or not to go get a glass of wine from my neighborhood hangout (that will remain nameless for the sake of privacy lmao) in the end the wine won but not without proving to me that i don't want to be in the meat market race anymore.
i won't pretend that i have not had my share of indescretions, however there is something about watching men oggle have drunk women that turns your stomach just a little bit. is that what i look like after a night of partying God i hope not! but i guess in the moment you don't think about it but i know my husband won't find me there, its not to say true love can't be found anywhere but i'll take my chances that the odds are against my husband finding me in a half drunken daze at my neighborhood hangout. so i will continue to enjoy myself on this quest but when you have a moment pause take a look around you and watch the exchange of men and women its fascinating and if you want something really exciting add alcohol and stir and then let me know if sex is the only thing left in the city?

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.

movies and love

so I just watched the movies when in rome and leap year and i know this may seem crazy but what's so wrong about wanting to have the love that is in the movies. i have had people tell me that its not real its not possible but my rebuttal is that someone had to think of the movie for it to exist so forgive me if i believe the potential exists to live and experience true love.
yes i understand that an hour and forty five minutes is not enough time to create and experience love but its a great starting point when your goal is to achieve the real thing.
i sometimes worry about whether or not i will ever get married but i am more afraid of being married or committed to the wrong person.
so the decision is to either be happy for as long as happiness allows or be content until contenment is not enough?
i am not blind to the fact that marriage is more than just love but i do believe that we have lost love in our need for everything right now society.
i've looked for love in all the wrong places but what i've learned from these "chick flicks" is that they have a main theme when the female stopped looking for love, love was able to find her.
so as i transition into another stage of my life (i just turned 31) i need to focus on the other areas of my life that bring me joy and happiness - getting into the peace corps, my family, my friends and creating a legacy that lasts way after i am gone. my thought is that while i get busy living my life love will find its way into my life.
