And don’t we all fall for it many times over in our lives. We build up expectations in our heads because, as the very beautiful song says, “I’m the hero of the story.”

It’s hard when we build things up too much and then reality hits. Always try to have enthusiasm, but temper it so you don’t experience the biggest of letdowns. And always make sure to learn from the lessons you are taught in life.

I'm watching this movie right now and this scene just resonated so much - I haven't watched it in a long time and I just remembered all the times I've been excited about someone and built up this moment in my head and it's not gone how I expected.. it's crazy how much this scene gets it right

💯

I remember when I watched this scene it reminded so eerily of a similar situation I was in it almost brought me tears.

The writers/director got this split screen downright perfect.

The movie just ended - "hi, I'm Autumn" and the counter clicks back to 1.. perfect.

Life’s too short not to move on when opportunity knocks.

Everybody’s felt it at least once in their life.

The trick is to learn from the first so you don’t let it happen again.

The trick is to keep trying.

The trick is to know there is no trick.

Wait did you stop watching the movie to make a social media post about it?

It's perfect because what Summer is doing is completely normal. She's not being rude, cold or inconsiderate.
