A lot of people were enraged at the obvious degradation in the role of women in relationships on how the female character was portrayed in the movie. It is perceived that the media has a responsibility on the manner of revealing their ideas to the public. In this instance, the Anastacia Steele, the main character has been subjected to the sexual pleasures of Mr. Grey. Her exposure though seemed to have provided her extreme pleasures to. All acts has been consensual to both parties. This movie is what we can call as the conservative pornography. Pure lust and a sprinkle of love on the side is what can be served on the plate of Mr. Grey.
What is astounding is how the general public and the age group that embraced the movie. Most were teenagers and young adults who blatantly tell the world that they rave about the movie in social media. Times are changing indeed. Being sensual is something to be screamed about these days. Apparently it is becoming cool.
However, what is concealed by the skin-deep deception is the reality the humanity may be losing grip on what differs us from animals- rationality. Animals have sex for procreation, for nothing else but the fact that it is dictated by seasons. Humans, on the other hand must do it out of love and not as stress reliever or some other slut manner of defense.
This piece of literature is a wake up call or just another porn movie.

Caught in a Trance
It is debilitating to be caught in the midst of an intersection. The options are way to many and they are all tangled with each other.
Then the question arises. What will you do? Which step will you take? What path must you choose? Having read a lot of self-help books the answer is quiet simple. Follow your heart and use your mind. It is easier said than done. But nothing beats the happiness caused by what we really want.
Breathe in and breathe out. Take one step at a time and you will surely get there.

If It Kills You
Someone once said, I did not say love is madness it is not love without madness.
Sometimes rationale evades reasons. Sometimes, the emotions take over meaning. If it does, it becomes a mistake. Then we say we are just humans. Humanity may be related to some kind of weakness that becomes a defense to lighten the burden of consequenses. Being human may entail committing mistakes once, twice and repeatedly until it becomes a habit, a vice or a disease.
What if what you are doing now kills you? But you love it so much that letting go is not a choice you will make even if it is one of the options. What if you have to but you cannot. What if you must but you have already stitched the idea permanently to your being that it became a part of your body? What if you just do not want to? Even if it kills you.
This may be a result of what we have seen, heard and felt. People on the movies fighting to the death for something they believed in. People pushing and breaking down barriers to impose something. They have changed reality or rationality whatever they may be called.
But one of the mysteries of living is the idea of not knowing what is on the other side of the coin. You will never know unless you flip it. You can never know its authenticity if you do not check it out. Mistakes may occur but there will always be another chance of redemption. There will always be another day. Reality or rationality may establish a certain biorder between right and wrong but it never meant it makes you a better person if you follow all the rules.
Even if it kills you, do the one thing you know you have to. Walls may break and days wasted but at least you knew. Even if it kills you, you have to. Somewhere along the way you will know if it is time to walk away or not.

The Life of a Bum
I noticed that people seem to think that I am wasting my time bumming around. Pardon my freedom ladies and gentlemen. It is a choice to spend my time pondering on a lot of things and not act on them. For some people the subsequent option might be a better thing to do. I respect your choice but please do respect mine. I am an advocate of putting meaning in every little thing I do. This makes me satisfied for any outcome that might come out. This was what I have realized in the past years. There is no time wasted in this life. You just have to acknowledge that we all have different struggles. Nobody actually commits a mistake. Though we might stumble and fall, we might be kicked or buried by the circumstances of life but so be it. Dive in your misery and just savor the moments of excruciating pain. Love the moment you are in just know that you will survive. This will make you stronger.
In the past years I succumbed in the roller coaster of my emotional turmoil and I tried to choose between a lot of career options. This took more than a year to fight the demons who tempted me to go with the path of others because it seemed right. For some of those who claim to have known better, they tolf me I wasted a lot of time. At first I believed in everything they told me. I agreed that I have made the wrong decision of pushing the Pause button just so I can think for a while. They were wrong.
For years, I have managed to clear my mind. Know myself better and accept the circumstances of my being. I am perfect. I was created perfect. My journey in life is mine alone to decide on how I want to finish it. Others have their choices too. This realization made me notice the intricate patterns of learning. Instead of criticising the lives others chose to trek I begun to notice and learn from how they face their demons, how they draw their strengths from within them. Of course, our socio-economic status vary from many levels but choosing to love yourself is the right thing to do regardless of who you are.
I may have been a bum. But emptying my mind led me to what I really want. I will be a lawyer because it is the right place for someone who loves to read and talk and someone who wants to save the world. Having said that, I also realized that my future struggle will be facing the monsters of the real world. Knowing myself is the best sword and armor. Let me fight the battle with my hands.

The Three Musketeers Who Loved
I know three people who tried to love.
The first one have taken away her heart, her dreams and her ability to love someone. She molded her life to fit beside him. Of course the bliss went on for so long as she could remember. Her life is what you can call on the right track. A budding career, a boyfriend with a stable life who is also climbing his way up the ladder of success. Everything was laid out in front of her. But then he left. He left a an emphatic emotionally dependent and sensitive person all on her own at a time most unexpected.
The struggle to move on was real. What do you expect from a young heart? Of course she was devastated. But strength comes from within and she chose to save herself. She picked up the remaining pieces and decided to make an artwork out of it.
The second person defied rational reasoning and dove into the abyss of wild love and passion. They were happy. But such source of happiness was banished by rational reasoning. That the needs of the body, of the mind and of the soul is dictated by the society- culture and norms. No you cannot love a man if you are a man. You cannot love two people at the same time. So it ended. Such ending that twisted reasoning beyond rationality beyond the definition of the difference between right and wrong. How will you explain yourself to the laws of man and the laws of morality when your heart is devoid of reasons but the fact that you are just in love. Someone once said that love is not madness but it is not love without madness. How do you save yourself from the prison of reality that your way of loving is wrong for them. You were just in the wrong place at a wrong time.
She saved himself by having a lover after another lover. Let us just do this without reason. Without love. With the thought that this will end because there is no pot of gold beyond that rainbow.
The last person nearly wedded. It was love build by a very patient friendship. They were a match. Same personalities like pieces of a puzzle completing a picture with the existence of another. But life happened and one must leave to seek what he was made of. Distance tore them apart. They tried so hard to mend the pieces but it was just so hopeless. They had to end it.
I wonder how she struggled. What do you do to a plan that never unraveled? What do you do to the papers, pictures and the flowers stuck in between books? The pain was so real that tears flooded the sight. But she got a hold of herself and went out to the world to chase her dreams instead. But she wondered until now if she can love again.
There are various forms of strengths. We all have it in us. Tragedies in life might attack through the mind, the body or the heart. But there is always that power to defeat anything. If you choose to and if you believe.
