I watched Sixth Sense for the first time this afternoon. Not a bad movie, but I wanted to talk about the end of the movie. Bruce Willis bends down over his sleeping wife and tells her, "You were never second." Very powerful words that I could relate to. The other night I had one of my friends ask me how I was doing since my beloved left me, and was surprised at how quickly I have gotten through the initial depression. After watching the Sixth Sense I think I can explain why. Elaniah was always first in my life. I put my relationship with her above my job, my schoolwork... everything. I did that because I feel that is what should be done in a relationship, especially when you feel as strongly for your partner as I felt for her. Remembering the conversation I had on the phone with her that night, I knew that I was no longer first in her life... I don't even know if I was in the top five, or if I had ever truly been first in her life. I think subconsciously I knew this, especially through the conversations we had since I had been in Scotland, and knowing this made getting through the initial depression easier. Our priorities on the relationship just didn't match anymore... Elaniah D. V. Caster, I don't know if you will ever read this, and I don't know where you are right now. You were always first in my heart, in my thoughts, and in my life. May the Lord and the Lady always protect you, and may the man you choose to spend your life with give you all the love and devotion I was willing to give you.
