Frances Ha

Been feeling super restless lately. But that's just me - the good and bad.

I saw this movie called, "Frances Ha." I related to "Frances" in the way she was running around in her 20s. Thankfully I think I have my shit together more than that character: ie: job, place to live.

Her monologue about what she wanted in a relationship really moved me. I thought it was really beautiful. She ends up finding that in one of her best friends, not romantically. Either way, what a great relationship to have in your life.
 




"It’s that thing when you’re with someone and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it, but it’s at a party! And you’re both talking to other people and you’re laughing and shining and you look across the room and catch each other’s eyes. But…but not because you’re possessive or it’s precisely sexual but because that is your person in this life. And it’s funny and sad but only because this life will end. And it’s this secret world that exists right there in public unnoticed that no one knows about. It’s sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don’t have the ability to perceive them. That’s…that’s what I want out of a relationship or just life, I guess."
Frances Handley (Greta Gerwig) in Frances Ha
