weight up in the air

"How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life... you start with the little things.

Now I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances...

and then you move into the people you trust with your most intimate secrets. You get them into that backpack, feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life.

All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks."

(adaptação de citação da personagem principal do filme Up in the Air)
