| Totally creepy theater where we thought we were the only ones in the theater, but we're pretty sure we saw two ghosts, like, for real. I wish I was kidding. |
A few days prior to seeing the movie I had come across a quote by Marilyn Monroe on a friends Facebook, which made me feel a connection to Marilyn Monroe. The quote I came across read, "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." It was a moment where I felt fate was stepping into my life. I was meant to read those words. I very much believe I am a selfish, impatient and insecure person. And people who know me really well can attest to that. Those of you that know me very well know that this last year, specifically the last 5 months or so have been rough ones for me for multiple reasons, mainly in the social part of my life. Don't get me wrong, I've gotten through just fine, but it was rough. And it had to do a lot with my insecurities and lack of patience. So running across the above quote was fate, something I believe highly in, and allowed me to understand that what I had gone through was not only okay, but necessary. People who cannot handle me at my worst DO NOT deserve me at my best, nor do they deserve to be in my life.
All of that could not have happened at a more perfect time as it was just a few days before I had plans with two friends to see the movie. The movie was absolutely fantastic & one part in the movie stuck out to me. Marilyn is speaking to an acquaintance & says, "All people ever see is Marilyn Monroe, once they realize I'm not her, they run." That got me thinking, maybe people in my past have had an expectation of who they thought Kira Terry was. And as soon as they realized that I wasn't that person, they run from me. Regardless, I found my connection with Marilyn Monroe. Even if it is just through her words, it's a connection. And because of Marilyn Monroe, I won't allow anyone into my life who can't handle me at my worst, because everyone has a 'worst', but it doesn't define who they are. Surround yourself with those who can handle you at your worst, because then they will deserve to be in your life at your best.
"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember; some come, some go. The one's that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well they come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them, actually pretty much all of them, are going to break your heart. But you can't give up because if you give up, you'll. Ever find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing & there's so much to smile about." -Marilyn Monroe
