Let's take a moment to appreciate that scene in Lokah, where Neeli/Chandra bids adieu to Sunny. This badass, undefeatable, invincible immortal being hugging a puny, fragile human with tears forming in both her eyes, as she watches him walk away.
What this teaches us is that being human is an excellent choice, even if you're superhuman. Crying and being vulnerable are the best human emotions. Sometimes we cry tears of sadness, sometimes it's out of joy and at other times it's out of sheer frustration.
But I'd choose crying over bottling all that emotion up and bursting like a pressure cooker. If you have deep rooted anger issues, it simply means that you've bottled up your feelings for far too long.
All that pain needs a place to go. If you hold it in, it will come to bitch slap you, in the most unexpected of places and times. Therefore to avoid being a pressure cooker human being, it's crucial to let it all out.
Crying works best for me. At times screaming too. Life is hard. Let's accept this reality for one second. You weren't born to eat, work and die. You were born to enjoy your time on earth and do things that make you truly happy.
Unfortunately we have bills to pay and in my case a child to raise, hence we give in to the monotony of a 9-6 and get on with it.
But somewhere in that process, it's important to take time out to feel all your feelings. Close to 4 years since my husband passed away and I've let myself feel all those feelings. This is a shit situation and I've made the best of it, thanks to an army backing me up every step of the way.
Going back to that powerful scene now, let's takeaway from it that even a superhuman needed to feel human and craved love during all her centuries of being alive.
Love is the oil to every human wheel. We need to be well oiled at all times. And there's no shame in admitting that you need someone to hold your hands through it all.
Kudos to the makers of Lokah to have made an all heart, subtle, yet powerful vampire movie. It was much, much needed.
