Two lines from The holiday

I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible,
I know that feeling small and insignificant
and how it can actually ache in places that you did not know you had inside you,
even black and blue but also pretending to be strong
and it doesn 't matter how many new haircuts you get or gyms you join
matter for a few new hairstyle, or go to the gym
or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends,
or drink liquor and sister friend
you still go to bed every night going over every detail,
the days and nights are still thinking back to every detail
and wonder what you did wrong
and wonder in the end did wrong
or how you could have misunderstood.
where misunderstood
and how in the hell, for that brief moment, you could think that you were that happy? And
finally ask yourself how you could mistake a short-lived pleasure for a permanent one

And after all that,
Having gone through all this
however long all that may be, you 'll go somewhere new
people would start again
and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again,
and then encountered worth paying people
and little pieces of your soul will finally come back.
then little by little regain their confidence
and all that fuzzy stuff,
those vague memories of
those years of your life that you wasted ,
so many years wasted life
that will eventually begin to fade.
will eventually start disappeared

in the movies we have leading ladies and we have best friend.
Movies have always actress and supporting actress
you, I can tell, are a leading lady.
I know you're the heroine
But for some reason, you behaving like the best friend.
But you are willing to be a supporting role
