i hate coming up with titles.

really truly. i'm even an english major and the thing i probably struggle with the most (and get docked the most for) in my papers is the title.
i know i can write, i know i can write well...why should i have to put forth the last little brain effort at 2 am to put a trite title to the kick butt paper i just wrote? (humble, i know haha) the paper speaks for itself...and all i need for the title should be the name of the assignment and then a short little description.
ex: "Generic Imitation Assignment: Medieval Period Riddles." or "Formal Analysis: Dulce et Decorum Est."
i know titles are important, but i feel like you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. or a paper by it's title.
just my opinion.
well. it has come to our attention that no one has posted in awhile.
sorry. life happens.
speaking of, a friend and i were discussing the movie 500 Days of Summer. he was saying how sad it is, that it just kind of rips you from the inside and i a little bit disagreed. i mean, yes. it's sad. but think about it. how many of us have been in tom's position? falling for someone and somehow deeply knowing that it won't work out...i mean, she lays it out for him in the beginning. she isn't looking for something serious. but he goes for it anyways and it's good for a bit...but then life happens. people grow.
growing apart isn't bad. it's good. of course, it hurts a lot but look at the end result. you are so much better than you were before, you've grown so much and are ready for something bigger and better for you. and so is the other person.
perfect example: look at summer. she thought she would never settle down for someone, but she meets tom and he helps her grow, just as she helps him grow. i love the line in the end when he is talking to her after she is engaged to another man.
            summer: I just... I just woke up one day and I knew.
            tom: Knew what?
            summer: ...What I was never sure of with you
of course it's hard and devastating for tom, but the point is that he learns and grows about it. he learns more about the real meaning of love. he learns that there is someone else, someone better for him. i love that. another thing summer says that i love is this:
            summer: You weren't wrong, Tom. You were just wrong about me.

so here's to growing. even if it means that sometimes it means growing apart.
