(Baz Luhrman - Everybody's free to wear sunscreen)
Sitting in a lonely hotel room, in a bed to large for myself. And looking back, upon what seemed as only a week of thought, but was in fact a carefully hidden exodus of my ex. The lyrics come to mind, a little different and a little strange, and one can only change them by oneself.
Ladies and Gentlemen in the Hotel te Zonheuvel
Be truthful.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future,
being truthful would be it.
The long term benefits of truthfulness have been proved by nobody
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis
more reliable than scientific explanations and research
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your love;
oh nevermind;
you will not understand the power and beauty of your love
until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll think back at memories of yourself
and recall in a way you can’t grasp now
how much respect lay before you
and how kind you really seemed.
You’re not as naive as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future;
or worry, but know that worrying is as effective
as trying to solve an algebra equation
by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life
are apt to be things that have crossed
your worried mind to often;
the kind whose reality blindside you when it finally comes as it really is.
Do one thing everyday that is unselfish
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts,
don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on planning;
sometimes you’re right,
sometimes you’re wrong
the truth is fague, and in the end,
you shouldn't belief just yourself.
Remember the love you received, forget the fights;
if you don't succeed in doing this, then you made a mistake.
Keep your memories of truthfulness, throw away your memories of regret.
Live
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your love
the best relationships I know didn’t know after 10 years
where their relationships were heading,
some of the most interesting old couples I know still don’t.
Get plenty of sleep.
Stay kind to your friends,
you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll divorce at 40,
maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary
what ever you do, don’t get too comfortable with yourself
or work too hard for love either
your love is a two way street, so is everybody else’s.
Enjoy eachothers body, use it every way you can
don’t be afraid doing it, or what other people think of it,
it’s the greatest means of expression you’ll ever own...
Make love,
even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Google for instructions,
even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines,
they will only make you feel nasty.
Get to know your limbs,
you never know when they’ll give out for good.
Be nice to your exes;
they are the best reminder of who you were
and the people most likely to be irritated with you in the future.
Understand that lovers come and go,
but for the precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle
because the older you get,
the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Sleep in New York City once,
but leave before it makes you hard;
Sleep in Northern California once,
but leave before it makes you limp.
Explore
Accept certain inalienable truths, limerence will end,
dates will philander,
you too will get tired, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were younger flirting was simpler,
your goals were simple
and youngsters respected eachother.
Only you can be that change.
Don’t expect anyone else to love you.
Maybe you have a trusting friend,
maybe you have a simple lifestyle;
but you never know when either one might run dry.
Don’t mess too much with your genitals,
or by the time you're 40, they will look 85.
Be careful whose love you accept,
but, be patient with those who supply it.
Love is a form of surrender,
dispensing it is a way of opening up from the inside,
becoming vulnerable, expose your insecurities
and having the chance of being rejected either way..
But trust me on the truthfulness
