Didn't appreciate it first time

Now that I'm older though it really hit me. I mean, I'm only 27, but I first watched this when I was about 16/17 I think.

I got back from a trip not too long ago that ended up destroying my relationship. It wasn't like we had been married like Sanders/Bergman. We hadn't been together too long, actually.

We had seven weeks apart, met up in Prague, she got homesick after two hours and cried the whole time. In the weeks apart I had been her 'soulmate', her 'prince', her 'entire world', she was crying because she missed me, she wanted to marry me and have kids with me.

We never argued on the trip. But she never smiled once and we had to cut it short. Were meant to travel for a month but lasted 10 days. I'd had the trip planned before I met her as I volunteer abroad every year. She asked to come, then asked to go home once she got there. We didn't last too long after that before she ended things. It just ruined all the rapport and chemistry. I guess we didn't talk much, she wouldn't go out for dinner or anything because she wasn't eating.

Then I watched this film again and a lot of it resonated. Funny how our life circumstances and experiences can end up making us appreciate films more.

Before Midnight really resonated with me recently as well.
