“i know im still standing on that bridge”-words from julie corky (alexa vega) from the movie SLEEPOVER…
talking to her mom about being a grown-up…its a teeny-bop movie-purely fun, no drama, no serious part…but all i can say is that everytime that i’ll be sitting on the couch watch that film with my sister-it all comes down to one thing “oh! its nice,its still nice”
nice coz i feel so inlove whenever i watch the film, i love steve (sean faris) julie’s love interest, i adore their friendship, plus i was so thrilled about the whole SLEEPOVER/SCAVENGER HUNT thing but other than that- i absolutely love the part where julie talks to her mom…
i imagine or should i say i picture myself having that serious conversation with my mom, saying my thoughts about being grown-up…i know its hard, i wont generalize it but most likely a lot of teen-agers are having difficulty conversing with their parents…even i, i do have a lot of tough times talking to my parents especially with my mom…its hard when youre trying to explain your part but no matter how hard you try “its not gonna work”…
probably because of the generation gap-they are being blinded about the thing between “parent and daughter” or “anak ka lang magulang ako” because right now teen-agers are very vocal about their feelings and maybe they are not used of hearing their daughter or son explaining their part…
but now that im getting older and maturer i understand them more…as a young adult (enough of being teen) our parents just wants the best for their babies (and that’s us) that no matter what happened we will still remain their babies…
just like in the movie- julie only wants everything to come her way, not realizing that her mom only wants the best for her but as the story goes… julie realized that life is a very long journey and up to now she’s still standing on the bridge with her mom, taking every step as slowly as possible making sure that every step of the way is for good, maybe not good but for better perhaps still not enough…..but rather for the best…
we may not see it, but clearly that is what our parents do…even though we can already stand on our own feet still they have the extra foot to guide us…that only proves how much they love us yet most of the time we ignore them…i hate to say this but yeah we seldom say that we love them more than we ever do…
i hate myself because im one of those daughters who do not want to express their love and feelings…maybe i was too young back then that’s why i cant express myself but now im more mature and more open about my feelings…”thank god because i dont want to miss my chance and regret everything”
now im 20…getting older and older and after few more years i’ll be living my own life…and i know that my journey is still long, my life is yet to come- i still have nothing to be proud of and yes! im still like julie corky….
“still standing on the bridge with my parents, still having their arms around me, and im loving it”
