Last week’s blog was about me reviewing on the final
three pieces of DLC for Mass Effect 3 and what you might not know is that after
I completed the Citadel DLC I felt sad. It wasn’t because I knew it was the end
of the series and the last time I will see this characters but it was because
throughout this whole month and up until that last sense I had noticed
something that my life and others where lacking. Before you turn away and say
that this is going to be another topic on Mass Effect it isn’t but I am going
to use this scene to paint you a picture of what I am trying to get at and then
talk about what it all means.
The scene in question takes place right at the of the Citadel
DLC, After you have completed all the mission and thrown the party, you are then
asked to return to the Normandy where when you active this cut scene you are
give a scene where you, the crew and your love interest have one last look at
your ship and a talk. If your love interest is with you, you are shown a moment
of pure love that those two characters have for one another.
To make the point even more I will also us this quote
from a song “If it’s not like the
movies, That’s how it should be,”
For those that are unaware this is a Katy Perry song
that talks about how love should be like the movies and if you have seen a any
romantic films you will have seen what Katy Perry is singing about, in which
they have such great love for one another and then at the end of the movie go
on to have that “happy ever after” scene.
Now a lot of people will say that this is a fantasy
that the media wants us to believe is true but in real life it isn’t and I
would like to agree with you but there is a time in everyone relationship in
which they do get to experience this.
All relationships start off with the two of you chasing
after one another so that you can get to go on a date with said person and by
the time you arrive at the second or third date, feeling start to boil and the
relationship starts to get going. From this point on you both start showing
your raw emotions and passion for one another and you are doing everything you
can to keep that spark alive and this to me is the part that the movies are talking
about.
Now you may disagree with me which is your right to but
I know that I have experienced this within my own my relationships and I have
also seen those in their own relationship experience it too but somewhere along
the line it just stops and you both become comfortable with one another and in
the process the romance just dies and then the following situation could happen.
Have you ever been with your other half when he or she
asks you the following question “Do you love me?” and your answer is always yes
but here is the kicker, are you saying yes to this question because it is true
or are you saying yes so that the two of you don’t end up in and argument but
you do love them but you know something is missing from your relationship.
If it is the latter part then you have just arrived at
what every relationship gets to at some point, where the “happy ever after” is
gone and that is because you both have become too comfortable with one another.
When you arrive at this point in the relationship it is
very hard to get out of it and I know that there are books and articles all
over the place that will tell you that the two of you need to make time for
your relationship and everything else but the true is that, there are only so
many romantic dinners you can go out on or cook for your other half when you
have to come to the conclusion that nothing is working.
The think that I am trying to get at here is that it
took god only knows how many shows, movies and games for me to see that we all
have experienced this kind of love at least once in our lives and that if you
want to have that long last relationship with the “happy ever after“, like the movies
you are trying to show us then you both are going to need to keep working on
your relationship.
Until Next Time
