My Silent Promise

I was watching a movie called Her the other night *one of my new favorite movies btw* and I came across a conversation I gravitated towards because it reminded me of stuff I've heard from people I dated. They'd say stuff like " You just don't understand " and it always angered me for the most part. Mostly due to the fact they just didn't want to explain something to me. People really don't like taking the time to find the right words to say to others. They just want results and forget that there's someone else besides themselves involved in their decisions. Either by accident or on purpose people should strive for understanding. That's what makes us all grow and learn. 

The quote from Her:

Samantha: Last week my feelings were hurt by something you said before: that I don't know what it's like to lose something. And I found myself...

Theodore: Oh, I'm sorry I said that.

Samantha: No, it's okay. It's okay. I just... I caught myself thinking about it over and over. And then I realized that I was simply remembering it as something that was wrong with me. That was the story I was telling myself - that I was somehow inferior. Isn't that interesting? The past is just a story we tell ourselves.
