dreams and believing.

The A-Team. [I suggest you see it edited, but I really liked it.]
Aly's Review: Funny and intense with a good love story and a little bit of thinking material.

(This is mainly for Laur (Face), Seren (B.A.), and Matt (Murdock)... Great movie night! Let's do it again soon!)

Why are we in a tank?
The plane exploded.
When?
Recently...

You spin me round, baby right round

I got bells palsy the last time i ate that.
The paralysis is only temporary!

Brother, you are far from okay.

Face it, I know this.

What is it you believe in?

Truth is worth the risk. I believe in you, even if you don't believe in me.

110 in the Shade [I'll probably be talking about it for the rest of my life...]

Oh, God, don't let me live and die alone.

Everything beautiful happens at night.
Maybe, could be, it just might be...

So, love, if you're looking for a quiet place, I've a heart that's absolutely free... Love, discover me.

It's just two words, "Don't go..." You have to say things like that, all the time!

You don't believe in anything. Even yourself.

You need to find yourself somewhere in between reality and dreams.
Simple little dreams will do.
All your life you look up at a star and one night you look down and it's just shining in your hand.
Suddenly I'm beautiful, beautiful with you.
And all alone by myself with nobody to guide me I decided to stop when I saw her beside me, and I knew that I sure shouldn’t go any further then, and so: And that’s how I got me a little red hat!
For the first time in my life, rain! So long, beautiful!
Come with me, Lizzie. Stay with me, Lizzie. And we'll have music...
Melisonde is a name for one night. Lizzie will last me my whole life long.

No one knows why marriage has been on my mind so much lately. Probably because there are so many people I know getting ready to be married. And multiple couples that I am watching fall apart. So this song hit home. File is telling Lizzie how he and his wife grew apart and then she left him. The hope Lizzie has, though, is how I hope to feel. This is the second half of "A Man and a Woman":

It doesn’t have to be like that.

It doesn’t need to end that way.

I know it’s hard, and yet I feel

That you can make it last forever.

For a man and a woman

Can be so close together

That they almost become like one.

They promise to love till life is done.

A man and a woman

Can be part of each other,

And though troubles may come and go,

The love that you have inside will grow.

Hard times come but that’s all right,

You know that you’ll pull through.

As long as you have each other,

There’s nothing you can’t do.

And the man and the woman

Who were so close together

Can be closer as time goes by,

As long as they both are willing to try.

Then the man and the woman

Will grow closer until the day they die.

This show puts so many of my hopes, dreams, insecurities and fears into beautiful words and music and then has a solution of balance and trust. Interesting how that happens. I think that's why I loved this show so much. I've always feared never finding someone that I want to spend the rest of eternity with or discovering that the person I've married doesn't care anymore. So many times I have felt plain. I have dreamed like Lizzie. And I still hope that my life will have a storybook happy ending, as juvenile and naive as that is.

I have so many dreams, most of them simple and plain. Getting married, having kids, being happy with who I am [along with little scenes of what I hope to see in my life someday]. But you can't live only in your mind where dreams come true. There's still reality, and you have to find your place somewhere in the middle. And getting your dreams all depends on believing in yourself. There is a kind of confidence that people who know and are working for what they want possess. Believing in yourself is second only to believing in your Heavenly Father. And, if you really think about it, they go hand in hand. I believe in myself because I know I am God's child and that He is helping me and guiding me in everything. And if i do the things my Heavenly Father is asking me to do, those righteous dreams of mine are much more likely to come true.

And it's about time to start believing in other people. Finding those people you can trust is absolutely necessary if you want to make it through life in one piece.
