Someone told me once "You're not crazy. You just want the Romantic Comedy and it doesn't' exist ." I agree yet disagree. A movie aspect exists in everyones life Dark Comedy, Drama, Suspense, even Horror; scenes are based off events that lead up to life changing moments for the characters. This also happens to real life people. Personally my movie moments are of a RomCom short for Romantic Comedy, not because I favor them but because the events that have changed my life have resembled RomCom movies.
When a new journey starts it normal to think about the past (a bit) how its shaped, helped, or ruined you. Recently, I have thought about my first encounters with the people who make my life better, I go back to them frequently thinking "If that didn't happen..." but it did and that what's important. A friend of mine and myself are just in awe of how life came to be from one person or one interaction, these things can shape your continued character.
A few that have changed my life:
- A giggly 11 year old girl who has stuck around for 12 years now. (Holy Hell)
-A new roommate who was normal (ish), humble, and down to earth. Opened my life to a new type of crazy.
-A new cast mate from the same part of Home, same circle of friends, and lived down the street but didn't know of each other until a rehearsal.
-A Classmate one day realized "Hey! You look familiar." little did we know it was because we had all the same classes together. Very observant.
-A stupid whim deciding to take my own RomCom into Destiny's hand and perform a Grand Gesture. This ending in me finding out the hard way Romantic Comedy's you can't plan.
-An unaware moment. I was listening to music on the bus minding my own business, thinking I need to meet people. Low and behold someone is calling my name, apparently for a few minutes. I don't know this persons name (at the time) but they said "Hi"
The RomCom exists in certain areas, of course everyone will keep getting a few Horror movies before they get the Happily Ever After with Prince or Princess Charming.
