Loosing a friend over love

From the movie Chasing Amy, one of the most endearing confessions of love -

I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't, I can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me

Rules of life from the Bees

Life's lessons are the same everywhere - with people, with nature...with the bees. And since there is one law - you can learn life's most profound lessons from some of nature's creations.

I guess I realized this just now...but I sensed it when I watched The Secret Life Of Bees. In one part where August Boatwright is explaining to Lily the Bee Yard etiquette, she says -

See, the world is just one big bee yard...same rules work in both places. Don't be afraid, cause no life-loving bee wants to sting you. But, don't be an idiot, thats why we wear long sleeves and long pants. And don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.

And May Boatwright talks about people who feel and people who don't feel. She says -

The worker bee weighs less than the flower petal...but she can fly with a load heavier than her. But she only lives four or five weeks. Sometimes not feeling is the only way you can survive.

The most interesting character was May Boatwright. She feels too much. But was most profound sometimes. Whenever she saw a cockroach, she'd make a trail of marshmallows and bread crumbs leading outside...which is the coolest way to get a roach out of the house!!
