Intersection 11

When a sibling date and a Saturday meet...

Me and my siblings have watched Mockingjay Part 1 yesterday. I would not comment on any scene of the movie, but I have to say the movie did the book justice. That's just my opinion. :)

The sibling date has been scheduled last Friday, and I somehow felt disappointed that I could not pay for the movie. But I immediately pulled myself from the negativity and instead felt happy that I'll be enjoying an awaited movie with my siblings. I don't really remember the last time we watched together in a movie house.

Seeing how Prim grew into a beautiful lady reminded of my previous realization that my siblings were already grown up. I glanced at my siblings quite a few times just to confirm that they are young adults. My memories of being with them in the movie house involved being amazed at Harry Potter and his friends' wonderful adventures. Our childlike reactions seemed very shallow then, but having these replayed in my mind proved to be more valuable now. I also leaned towards my siblings during the movie. Me and my brother shared a few laughs about our jokes on some scenes of the movie, while my sister did not want to be bothered because she wanted to concentrate on the movie. I tried my best to tell her about me and our brother's jokes, but she really had the will power to refuse our attempts at noise.

When the movie ended, we did not want to leave our seats. We planned to watch the movie twice, but we had to leave the movie house since it was already late. Time seemed to freeze in the movie house. The next thing we knew was we were exiting Panem and entering reality again.

Maybe the movie date was another confirmation for me in a way or another. All we have left is moving forward. Maybe there will be moments of feeling stuck or stagnant, but after overcoming this feeling, growth follows. Soon, me and my siblings will have our own careers and movie dates may become more foreign to us. But with the possibility of change, I will try my best to have more bonding moments with my siblings and family. There are just too many things to do and too many experiences to be cherished.

I hope you find time to have a date with your siblings.

Until the next date,

Myra
