Many would say that I'm already am. A truly, wicked witch! One with pointed crooked nose, skin and bone, hunchback kinda witch. I, however, believe that I'm a witch like Samantha and Isabel. Smart, funny, just a little bit funky at times, but as true as a witch could ever be!
I went to watch BEWITCHED last weekend. It's a simple, straight forward movie. A feel good movie. I just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Although there a few points in the movie that worth looking over to. No, I do not mean the cinematography, or whether or not it's an Oscar production. I am by no means have the capacity or the capability to review a movie in such a way. I just like to talk about the message in the movie. He he he...
God's creature, human or witches, will never be satisfied. I want to be a witch. Isabel wants to be human. Normal she said. I want to be different. She said something about being able to see and look at it, but never able to touch and feel it, which what she really wants. Thus, she lives as a human, but with a magic touch. Or more apt, a magic wiggling nose. Only few people shares her secret.
Like Isabel, some of us are living in some sort of a disguise. A handful of trusted friends will know the real us, but the remaining will see only what we allow them to see. Luckily for Isabel, she's able to turn back time, when she realises she made a mistake. We on the other hand, have to live with it, which is the reality of life. I see turning back time as being coward. Shying away from the responsibilities. But then again, it is a movie. And witches have magical powers, of course they can do that. Oooohh.. they can't however, stop tears from falling. There is no spell for it.
Reflect. We tend to find answers for everything that happens to us. If it's painful, we find away to make it go away. If it's sickeness, we take medication. If it's confusion, we seek clarity. And the list goes on. Some things, are better left unaswered. Let them be as they are. It might be painful, but we'll sure live through it. Even witches and warlocks have to come to terms that not all answers can be found in jars of portions or spells or tarot-card-turns-VISA. Some things are meant to be experienced. However hurtful it is. However heart-wrenching.
Funny how we only question when bad or sad things happen, but we take for granted or feel that we deserve every bit of good stuff that happens to us.
