I watched the movie "To All The Boys I Loved Before" when it just came out, there was a buzz about it, everyone was talking about it and it's popularity escalated super fast. My first reaction to the movie was obviously like everyone else's, I just LOVED IT. It was beautiful, moving, and relatable, it was not your typical high drama love story movie, it just perfect.

Naturally, I started to tell everyone to watch the movie, I told them it was wonderful and they would not regret it. One night, my mom called me asking for a movie recommendation, I automatically thought of that movie, so I told her to watch, that she would love it.

After a while, I got a called from my mother and I asked her opinion of the movie, she told me it was a good movie, but then she told me something I hadn't realized before. She said, "While watching the movie, the only person I could of think of it was you. You have always been close of when it came to boys, and I think that just like the movie, you're like that because you have the idea of a perfect love in your mind, and you don't trust men because you're afraid of being hurt."

After she told me that, I was silent for a second, she called my named and I just said "I don't think so", after that she instead that she was right again, and after me not really agreeing with her, she eventually stopped. I hung up the phone, but the conversation I just had with my mother was still lingering in my head. Was she right? Was I really like that? And after a while, I came to the conclusion that my mom was probably right, and that's what made the movie so perfect, and so memorable for me.

It made me accept that I am scared of breaking the perfect idea of love that has been built in my head throughout my 21 years of being alive and that just like Lara Jean, we are all insecure and afraid of trusting someone else. Breaking and changing that idea of love you grow up with is something that everyone is afraid of, however, the movie did not just teach me that I had the same feelings as Lara Jean, it also taught me that it's okay to be afraid, as long as you take a risk and follow your heart, you would be just fine.

So to every girl out there, watch the movie, and if you identify yourself with it, that's okay, embrace, forget the fairytale ending and take chance. You might just find what you're looking for.
