Okay this is might get a little lovey dovey romantic haha, bear with me.
Fun fact, when I started writing as a form of expression, I was writing poems to my highschool sweetheart (that’s a fun name we could give her haha. Or in short, HSSH)
You always see this disney love online, being talked about, being written in poems and texts.
The ramayana, maybe, it’s an epic, a poem about love. The quest of how far both man and women would go for love and purpose. The tale of integrity.
(Please don’t mind in case I misinterpreted it. No intentions at all to harm anyones beliefs.)
So yeah, all this love being shared and talked about.
And then one day, reality hits, and they tell you that disney is not possible. That what you saw on TV doesn’t exist. That people aren’t like that. That geet and Aditya can’t be a thing.
I’d like to humbly disagree.
Yes, I understand the people who plead that disney doesn’t exist. I understand the realism.
Here’s what I have to say.
I believe that disney is still possible. Just that the way to getting there isn’t how they show in the movies.
It’s rather by working to become such people that you can calmly navigate the troughs and crests of each other. When you have a stable and calm ‘aacharan’ and so does the person you’re with.
That peace, creates disney. Not stupidly following the latest pop songs.
Integrity, strong characters, a sense of abundance, giving, strong values and fundamentals - those create a disney like love. An experience thats nothing short of watching a movie.
The same as how kareena describes zooby doobie in 3 idiots.
And I don’t mean blind dellusion. Where you create disney in a way thay you can’t afford it.. since if you do, if you try this without strong fundamentals, it will fall apart very soon.
But if you get the chance to do it with the right person with the right fundamentals.
You’ll experience something else.
It truly is beautiful to share your life with another soul. To see each other’s vulnerablilities, to embrace each other’s flaws and laugh it off, to reassure each other when we most need it. To have a courtship that is built on rock solid foundations.
I feel the individual experience is very plain. You’re too much in your own head.
When you add another person to the equation, gosh.
Imagine this, you’re a wave function. Maybe like that of the s or p orbitals in an atom.
You’re all good, mostly predictable and bounded.
Then, you add one more electron to the mix.
The overlap will create so many new characteristics, it will create these beautiful possibilities and probabilities that you couldn’t have realised alone.
That’s the magic.
And I feel, the human life experience should actually be full of such intermixing.
While experiencing the world will always be something that only you individually participate in, when you add in another person, you get to mix your lens and worldview with theirs, you get to experience it along with them. And isn’t that amazing.
Things are predictable. Systems are finite.
Nature is not. Life is not.
Another human coming into your equations can be one of the most beautiful experiences life brings.
Be it your partner, your friends, your parents or your children.
Make sure you build yourself well to receive it. Make sure you build a big wide imax screen, where you can watch the lovely disney movie that life really is.
Because, why wouldn’t you do that.
The romanticism movement made the world all disney disney, introductions new lenses and interpretations, why not give them a shot too.
And with that, I wish you all the courage and love you need, to build that and many more imax screens, to watch the pixar, disney, and even oppenheimer’s of life.
~with love. nmn.
