Yeah, more divorce stuff

I’m watching “Must Love Dogs” for the 3rd time. I’m seeing Diane Lane playing the divorced woman role, just like she did in what became my favourite movie, “Under the Tuscan Sun.” — I like it how the character loses her marbles from time to time. She gets angry at the grocery store clerk who wants to sell her more chicken than she wants because she’s a divorced woman who eats alone, usually standing over the sink. She gets angry at the guy who plays her and makes her feel used, she tells him off, she screams “I hate guys like you!” — I love it, that very human side.

And this is probably what I haven’t done, drop the basket, get angry, tell people off when I’m feeling frustrated. It is OK to be angry, and it is healthy to express it. It doesn’t mean I have to go off like a loaded gun and spurt a bunch of horrible words, but I feel like I’ve just kept it all inside for too long, trying to keep some composure when there’s a volcano inside me.

Yeah, I definitely like it how Diane Lane loses her composure, cries, becomes like a little girl throwing a tantrum. Sure, it doesn’t sound that mature, but the more you keep things inside, the more they are going to eat you alive. I guess next time I’m feeling upset I’ll pull a Diane Lane in Must Love Dogs and see how that goes. And no, it isn’t a threat… I’m just thinking.
