Love is...
never arguing when your husband calls you "nut head" and then forgetting your own problems to feed him and be with him every day as he grows weaker before your eyes.
Oddly enough, two cartoonish movies seem to reveal to me the most real love that I've ever seen.
I saw Beauty and the Beast when I was 7, and from the day I saw it, I knew that was how love was supposed to be. Belle and Beast didn't start out in love. He was this towering, imposing beast, and Belle had to look deep inside him to love him. She saw things throughout the movie that made her like him, but it wasn't until the end that she loved him. I guess that desire to love someone like that and cause someone to change because of his love for you always appealed to me. I've always identified with Belle and have quite a collection of Belle memorabilia now and am always collecting more. I don't know what the appeal is. I think a lot of it is that I feel like she and I have a lot in common and perhaps her fate can be my fate. I know that sounds incredibly stupid, but it is how I feel.
Shrek! I LOVE Shrek! I thought it would be a cute movie, something to laugh at, never expecting what was to be found in Shrek. This is how I want love to be. I want my ogre to come rescue me from whatever it is that I'm trapped in. It won't be a castle, but perhaps work or school or even from a guy I'm seeing who I'm not in love with. Shrek has a great sense of humor and is tall, which is always good. *L* Shrek goes out of his way with Fiona. He doesn't love her from the beginning and she doesn't love him then either, but when they spend a couple days together, they know there is something there. It is just the threat of them losing that feeling that allows them to KNOW they are in love. He doesn't like to talk a lot but he can talk to Fiona and she's probably been talking to herself for the length of her imprisionment, but when they meet, they just gravitate to one another and talk as if they've known one another their entire life. Shrek sees Fiona as something that she isn't - perfect. Shrek doesn't see Fiona as now, either, he sees her as forever. He worships her without knowing he's doing it. He does everything right. Even when he jumps to the wrong conclusion, he rushes to fix things and doesn't just run to Donkey to talk it out and get advice on what he should do. Then in the end, Shrek galantly arrives to save his love from a life without him, and he kisses her, that's oh, so important. When she is released from the curse, Fiona changes into an ogre. I like that. She doesn't have to be stick thin with perfect skin (she is green now} for Shrek to love her. She sees Shrek, even then, as someone who is too good for her. She, in despair, says, "I was supposed to be beautiful." Shrek just looks at her and says, "You are beautiful." Isn't that love is supposed to be? *S* Nappy hair, unwashed face, teeth unbrushed for two meals, and he still wants to kiss you. Yeah, that's the good stuff!
