One more chance

I watched One More Chance more than a week ago, and I still can't get it off my mind. All those darn "killer lines" as Mico would put it.

But what got me thinking was what the character of Derek Ramsay said. I can't remember the exact words but the point was that it takes two grown ups to have a relationship.

Ack! I think I need some growing up to do...

I am in an eternal state of confusion.

So many questions:

How does one trust again? How do you forget the hurt? How do you move on? How do you know when to give someone one more chance? How do you make things better? Is it foolish to hope that things can get better? Is love ever enough?

That song was playing in the cab on my way to work this morning: there's a danger in loving somebody too much.... baby sometimes love just ain't enough.

Damn. Talk about hitting the nail on the head.

Now if only that nail were on my head.

I think it's good to give others second chances. So we can hope that when we need one ourselves, it will also be given to us.

On second thought, it's not very nice to give something and expect that we get it back. We should give others second chances, because everyone deserves them.

As Jay said, "I am not perfect, but I am a good man."

He couldn't have said it better.
