Tess Explains It All

Where do I even begin?? I just watched the movie ‘Timer’ on instant netflix and so many thoughts are running through my head.

The movie is a science-fiction romantic comedy about a device that counts down to the moment you meet your soul mate. By choice, as young as 14, everyone can get this timer pierced into their wrist. If your soulmate also has a timer it will begin counting down until the moment you both will meet. If your soulmate doesn’t have a timer your clock will remain blank until he/she gets one. 

Genius right?? Could you imagine if we knew the exact moment we would come face to face with our soulmate? What would life be like? How would people act? Would you date and sleep around with whoever and whenever knowing it was all meaningless and just in good fun? Or would you refuse to date anyone else thinking you’d be cheating on your future soulmate?

Oh, if only life was this easy!! I know I could rest easier at night if I knew when my soulmate would arrive.

But then again who wants that sort of pressure? The whole fun of life is taking different paths to discover more about yourself as well as what you like and dont like in another person. I think it’s probably the ups and downs of life that connect us with “the one”. So in a way it’s destined and in a way it’s just life taking you there. I could turn left and meet a guy and be just as happy as I would have been if I turned right and met someone else.

I suggest this movie to everyone. Single or taken. It’s enjoyable and makes you think a little differently about love.
