How to Get Past a Break Up by Listening to Encouraging Movie Quotes -
By Me!
After a separation or break-up, the feeling of losing the one loved is unbearable. There is a want to give up on love, but as seen in movies, there is always a light.
That's what movies are for. They're there to inspire and give hope to the loveless. Some provide inspirational words that can help one see that there is more to life than pain and loneliness, and that there is someone for everyone.
A few films that can provide inspirational quotes on love and hope are The Holiday, 28 Days, Indecent Proposal, Meet Joe Black and Juno. All five films embody meaningful quotes that can help anyone who is going through a rough patch in the love department.
Understanding What the Problem is in the Relationship
Acknowledging what the problem is, whether it's still being attracted to the lost love or not being able to let go of the past, is the first step to healing a broken heart and moving on. Some people who have dealt with a break up believe that their significant other will realize that he or she made a mistake and come back.
And sometimes they do. But the problems within the relationship will continue to arise and although the attraction might still be there, the person who inflicted pain on the other will not change. It's normal to still be in love with that person, even if she did cause heartache, and understanding that she is not good for that particular person is hard to realize. Eventually someone better will come along. The film, The Holiday sends out this message.
"Why am I attracted to a person I know isn't good?" - Miles
“Because you're hoping you're wrong. Every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. Every time she comes through and surprises you, she wins you over. You lose that argument: she's not for you.” - Iris
Learning to Let Go of the Past and the Person
Everything happens for a reason. The next step is learning to let go so that better things can come along. Relationships are unpredictable and even when things seem to be going right, things can go wrong. Whether it was a change of heart, or because the person needed time to think about what he wanted in life, it's still hard to deal with. But sometimes, letting the person go can cause him to leave forever or to possibly come back. Letting go might be a difficult task, but it's the right thing to do. The films 28 Days and Indecent Proposal send out this message.
28 Days
“There's a time when you can share and you hold hands and be on the same path. But there's always a fork in the road, at some point. Sometimes you have to go on one part of the fork and they got to go on the other part.” – Alan Tudyk
Indecent Proposal
“If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never yours to begin with.” – Demi Moore
The Kind of Mate to Find When One is Ready to Move On
After one has acknowledged the problem and learned to let go, the last step is knowing who to find to make a partner deliriously happy. It's important to know what kind of person one should be looking for, especially after a break up or separation. William Parish from Meet Joe Black and J.K. Simmons from Juno advise viewers to look for someone who will love equally as much and who will love for all the right reasons.
Meet Joe Black
"Find someone you can love like crazy and who will love you the same. How do you find him? You forget your head, listen to your heart. There's no sense living without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, you haven't lived. You have to try." – William Parrish
Juno
“The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you. The right person will still think the sun shines out of your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.” – J.K. Simmons
Some things are easier said than done, but when it comes to the heart, that little pounding bag of emotions, there is always a way – a light at the end of the tunnel. Love takes time to heal, but everything happens for a reason. Being happy, finding things in life that are enticing and exciting, and believing that everything will be okay and love will find the way is the first step toward mending a broken heart. A good way to start toward believing is by watching romance movies that teach a lesson and paying a close ear to movie quotes – and knowing that there is so much out there to look forward to.
