Close the Door, by:zechic
Here’s what happened
I log on facebook at night.. take a look at my avatar (a pic of a man who’s pushing up and have this look on his face, which I take for “determination”), I think for a minute.. “feel like changing it .. a door.. yes.. expressive.. let’s not use a closed door.. yes.. this doorknob is perfect”..some huge doorknob pic I downloaded two days ago.. stands for a lot..
I try to figure out which of them I mean right now.. the last one.. then I decide to leave it bare with no description.. let everyone take it as he sees..
after two or three hours I take a break.. search TV for something nice to watch.. I settle down for this movie.. “mm kinda in the middle of it.. I hate to miss the beginnin.. doesn’t matter I’d probably won’t finish it.. seems like modern English plays.. beautiful.. “romantic, but not impossible, subtle magic…I think it’s gonna be one of my faves.. aha..nice spots in the script, should look it up..”
I notice by the end scene that i’ve missed something important while switching to other channels on ads breaks.. something about “keys”.. “This must be important.. I’ve missed anyway.. but I have to look up that line I like”
Two hours later I look up the script.. find it.. try as hard as I can to remember anything about the line I liked at the End scene.. but in vain.. why not look up the “blueberry” line I liked earlier.. yes that’s it
I scroll up to get to the beginning that let to this line.. and as I do I read:
Sometimes they pick them up in a few days
Sometimes it takes a few weeks
Well,what about most of the time?
Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar
Well why do you keep them?
You should just throw them out
No
No I couldn’t do that
Why not?
If I threw these keys away
then those doors will be closed forever
And that shouldn’t be up to me to decide
Should it?
Guess I’m just looking for a reason
Well, from my observations
sometimes it’s better off not knowing
and other times there’s no reason to be found
Everything has a reason
It’s like these pies and cakes
At the end of every night
the cheesecake and the apple pie
are always completely gone
The peach cobbler
and the chocolate mousse cake
are nearly finished
But there’s always a whole blueberry pie left untouched
So what’s wrong with the blueberry pie?
There’s nothing’s wrong with the blueberry pie
It’s just people make other choices
You can’t blame the blueberry pie
It’s just no one wants it”
“If I threw these keys away
then those doors will be closed forever”
I used to do the same i used to keep these keys hoping that one day they’ll be found and these doors will be opened and my waiting won’t be in vain but now i believe that may be it’s not meant to be found and these doors to be opened:)
so now i believe there wasn’t anything wrong but it’s only that no one wanna open these doors no one wanna find these keys and i shouldn’t blame anyone … I tried to show them where they can find these keys and how to open these doors but they didn’t open them it’s their choice and i should accept it
Eman i loved it so much … and i love it about u … i love the way u see things and how u talk about it …
wish all ur closed doors will be opened soon if it’s good for u …
And I love you ya noura, not only ur way of seeing things and talking about it.. but everything : ).. am soooo happy u like it
And yes me too.. used to keep the keys.. but with time I learnt how to let go and close the door myself.. sometimes I even throw the keys out of the window..
But u know what noura.. It’s kinda in our chemistry.. like this guy.. at the end of the movie he throws all the keys.. but he keeps making the blueberry pie.. it’s what he is.. hope is part of his character, so it’s not that bad after all.. people like u.. make magic possible.. and make dreams come true : )
So may always the doors of good be open wide to us.. may we always have the strength to open them.. and may all the doors of evil be shut in our face.. and may we always lose curiosity to see what’s behind, have the strength to not open them… and have the wisdom to know the difference
