"Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it."
I recently watched a cute film with a simple plot and a fantastic script called "Cashback". The story is about an art student named Ben who breaks up with his girlfriend of a year and a half, and develops horrible insomnia. To use his newly found time in his best interest, he picks up the night shift at a grocery store. Ben is infatuated with the form of the female body and he freezes time to observe and enjoy it. Eventually, he finds love in these frozen moments where he is the only one looking for beauty, and he can sleep again.
One revealing (if you've seen it, no pun intended), or self-revealing, moment of the movie is when Ben is talking about a woman whose secret fantasy is to be loved by an artist. "She thought he would really see her. He would see every curve, every line, every indentation and love them because they were part of the beauty that made her unique."
It is something I've thought about for the past couple years, so to hear it vocalized and portrayed in such a heart-felt story was beautiful. To have someone who finds innate beauty in my body, in my face, in my soul simply because that is what makes me a special masterpiece to be observed and discovered is a fabulous idea. I hope to someday fall in love with an artist, a man who looks for the beauty of this world and finds it in the lines and curves.
