Catharsis (Human Elective Assignment 2)

I have experienced lots of catharsis from different situations.  Until now, there are moments when I laugh or cry because of these simple matters.  They embedded in me certain memory (a very meaningful memory) that if remembered, could make me feel better about myself and makes me feel relief in me—more than words could express how I truly feel.

“You were just a dream that I once knew
I never thought I would be right for you
I just can't compare you with anything in this world
you’re all I need to be forevermore”

This is my favorite line in the song Forevermore by Side A.  This song reflects my high school life—the most memorable part of who I was and who I am.  When I hear this song, I remember the deepest sensation I felt when I first met the girl who first made my heart beat.  This song marks a spot in my heart that when I try to sing or play this, this brings back the feelings: the happiness and the affection.  Nevertheless, it always comes to the point that when the song ends, I realize that those were moments that are worth keeping for—that I know I will never feel again and that I also realize that I again shed tears because I think of everything with this one song (but still I keep on listening to it).

When it comes to movies, only one movie really made my emotions come out; that I literally cried too much—Hachiko, The dog story.  This is about a loyal dog that waited for his deceased master in the train station for nine years until it died.   I am a pet lover indeed.  We have six dogs and one turtle in our house.  I know the feeling of seeing a pet die in someone's arms.  I know the feeling of loving too much the ones who love you with all their hearts: no pretensions, pure sincerity.  I am very weak in terms of pet drama stuffs.  I am very vulnerable in every movie that involves pets.  When I watch these kinds of movies (like Hachiko), these move me to their world were I imagine myself in that situation where I truly love my pets and I care for my pets so much.  And bottom-line, I do not like goodbyes... most especially to a dying best bud.  Pet lovers understand me for sure.
