When I'm feeling glum

[ltroifanatic]

Whenever I feel glum all I have to do is read or watch LTROI.It revitalises me and makes me happy.A story about hope and love.How could I feel sorry for myself when two little angels,against incredible odds,accept and love each other the way Eli and Oskar do.Makes me feel silly for fussing about little things.Their story just gets better the more I watch or read it and I don't care if people think I'm weird.I'll keep plugging away for people to experience it because it's one of the great joys in my life and if they "get it" they'll understand why.

One of the best symptoms of the infection!

I don't really need to read or watch LTROI anymore cause I know every little detail. But still, sometimes even today after over 5 years of infection, just thinking about it brings me joy. On good days, on bad days. Amongst all the horrible things that lies within humanity the light in the dark were these two, in the story. And that hope shines bright inside me. I have learned how hard and rewarding it is to be in a relationship. I have lerned the hardships and joys of life, of love and of pain. For some reason it all makes sense in this story, and it helped me understand a small aspect of all that in that story I frist read and saw just as a young teenager. It has shaped me, and will until I die I think. LTROI truly gave me nomething special, and so did this forum. It still does

Thanks ACL.It's such a wonderful scene,I wish that they could have kept it somehow.It's so beautifully acted.Oskar being so contrite and ashamed and Eli being confused and upset.When I first watched it I felt certain that Eli would give a blood curdling growl in responce to Oskar's cute little growl but she doesn't.Being a child she plays along with her friend.I think the music emphasizes that child-like quality as well.How could anyone not smile after watching it.
