"My Dearest Allie, I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
Not too many love stories can beat the greatness of "The Notebook". Yes, people decry it as a "chick flick" , a movie that is nothing close to reality, but as I go through life and fall in love, I connect with this film more.
I realized how amazing the protagonist Noah's last letter to his love, Allie is. Nothing else matters in love except for the happiness of the one you love, even if that means letting go of them. Other times, you must fight for your love if it matters that much to you. Love is sometimes supposed to be inconvenient and painful. It means being selfless- it means compromising sometimes for the sake of the other person's happiness. Things worth having are worth fighting for. Sometimes, our choices hurt others, but we have to be true to ourselves and our love. Ultimately, love helps us grow and if it is true, it always comes back to us.
