The way we were

One afternoon, a question on the game-like psychological questionnaire said:
You admit that there are things you can't do anything about.
I squinted to see that K-san had a big tick in the Strongly Agree column.

Xiaogu namelessly rushed up with anger,
how did you know in advance that you couldn’t do it if you didn’t work hard?

Looking at Y-sang and I, joking,
for example, if I say that we both want to marry you, there must be one person who won't get anything.

So give up and do nothing?
...

I can't remember his answer anymore, and the little dispute was interrupted by the teacher at the right time.
Now that I think about it, I just feel inexplicably excited.

Going back to this '73 movie, let's
say you're in love with someone who doesn't think like you.
No matter how hysterical you are, he remains indifferent.

He knew from the start that they weren't meant to be together.
And her love is too heavy, and at the
same time, she is so fiercely defending her beliefs.
No one wants to change, and compromise will only deepen the rift.
So this relationship
will never lead to a win-win outcome.

The beginning of love is always a short process.
When everything begins to deteriorate,
choosing to give up and let go
may be the best expression of love.

In 2010, on a warm spring afternoon,
the dispute with K Sang reminded me of this movie.
In this way, I can record the emotions that I once had in the light and shadow.
