Who's Really There.
So I watched Fast an the Furious Tokyo Drift today. Firstly this movie is awesome, and if you haven't seen it WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! Alright back to my point.
The movie just made me think. Like I've always wanted to go away somewhere for a while, and see what happened when I came back. People could say they would miss you, or not wait till you come back, but who really will? There was one quote in the movie that just made me think of everything.
"who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are."
I just had to look back. All the people I used to talk to, never got to talk to, don't talk to anymore all say something about who I have come to be now or was then. If I left for a month who would be there to greet me when the plane lands, if I was gone for a year who would message me once and a while to see how things are. Some people who suposedly will be there through everything, after a week of doing something else they get all pissed off and say you've changed, or your not the same. They say your not there for anything and everything. They expect you to do one thing and one thing only and when you do something else, you "changed". There have been many people I talked to before and miss talking to now. Many people have just drifted away, talked to new people, moved, went to different schools. I mean it happens and I know your not gonna be able to talk to everyone you meet in your entire life, but there are those people you get close to and it just stops. It sucks.
Back to Fast and Furious. *Spoiler Alert* If you haven't seen it and don't want the storyline ruined don't read this.
People can say that the whole series is just about racing and cars and doesn't have any meaning or anything, I disagree. Them as a group of friends is how one of the things I look at the most. The first movie Dom's (Vin Diesel) "friends" all run to the safehouse after the cops raid a race. Brian (Paul Walker) is the only person to try and help Dom, and he's not even a friend or anything of him. Dom's "friends" get pissed that he brought Brian back to the safehouse, Dom reacts by saying at least he was there to help him and didn't just run back to the safe house. Im just going to skip a bit because other then that i'd be writing forever.
The whole point is they stick together. They didn't start out as friends, or at some points even like each other, but they grew together. They stayed together through everything for real, and didn't just after one thing stop everything. They let people do what they want to do, what they need to do and at the end of the day still welcome them like family.
The new guy totally destroyed Hans car. When he asked why he let him even drive it he said. "I have money, it's trust and character I need around me. You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are. One car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of? That's a price I can live with." If only people were really like this. I've written to much, and I could keep going but noone wants to read all this.
A Token Of Friendship,
A Krownd Kid
