Rewatched “How to be Single (2016)”

It’s supposed to be a comedy with Rebel Wilson in it but it’s actually very deep and the movie really speaks to me (cries)

Life often dictate what success looks like - being married (with kids), a top notch career etc and it’s even more prominent when people around you slowly get married or even having kid(s) one by one and you’re like the only one left...

it’s easy to lose yourself in the rat race. The movie talks about 4 girls with different views on love and relationship. I think I’m kinda like Lucy the most? - the one who THINKS she knows what she wants and will not hesitate to move ahead rapidly with plans once she thinks she found the one. truth is I think 90% of the time I’m an Alice. I write a long list of things I wanna do but I often talk myself out of it. I tell myself I want to be independent but I still need someone to fix the router (yes I said the exact same thing as her) and I still am the ditzy one who’s in love with the idea of love :/

But sometimes it’s tiring you know? You just want someone who will be your anchor, someone to listen to your rants after a long day or just someone to share that 1-1 deal with you. I’m not very close to my parents or my sister and even when we communicate I feel like they don’t understand me. but that being said, it's not a strong reason to find a partner laaaa hahah. we need to have the right attitude about love/relationships and i really love how she sums it up at the end of the movie

I’ve been thinking that the time we have to be single, is really the time we have to get good at being alone. But how good at being alone do we really want to be? Isn’t there a danger that you’ll get so good at being single, so set in your ways that you’ll miss out on the chance to be with somebody great?

Some people take baby steps to settle down. Some people refuse to settle at all. Sometimes, it’s not statistics. It’s just chemistry. And sometimes, just because it is over, doesn’t mean the love ends.

The thing about being single is, you should cherish it. Because, in a week, or a lifetime, of being alone, you may only get one moment. One moment, when you're not tied up in a relationship with anyone. A parent, a pet, a sibling, a friend. One moment, when you stand on your own. Really, truly single. And then... It's gone.

i hope everyone is happy no matter what status they are!

p.s. one habit (?) i have is to observe the locations used for filming in the movies. some inspire me for my future home/travel destinations!

My dream is to have a cosy reading corner too! 

Though I don’t read la, you know. Just looks good and comfy haha

i love cities and studio apartments!

i hike when i solo travel too! though not as insane as her to do sunrise hikes haha
