Pop Culture

Well as for movies go, almost any chick-flick could vouch for a yes answer to my big question so I'll use one of my most recent examples. Two weeks or so ago I went to see P.S. I love you which is a movie with a couple where the husband dies of a brain tumor. Before he dies he plans out a very elaborate set of letters to his wife to be delivered over the next year, instructing her to do things that she's never had the chance to do before. She follows all his letters and in the process slowly but surely recovers from her husband's death. Sure, she still has her days that are incredibly hard, as would anyone, but with her husband's love even after death she is saved from severe depression and possibly even suicide which she considered in the days before his letters started arriving. Books are sort of the same way I guess: anything by Nicholas Sparks would qualify to answer my question so I'll explain the Notebook. If you've seen the movie you know the story for the most part, but the book is better. Allie falls in love with Noah as a young girl, but they are forced apart. Half-way through her life they find each other again, but she's engaged at the time. She finds Noah and falls in love with him all over again. Not only did he save her from her marriage which never could have possibly been as beautiful as theirs was, but he saved her from a lifetime of misery without him and she did the same for him. As for music I'm still trying to find the perfect lyrics to incorporate, but I haven't quite found the right ones yet.
