I saw the new Batman movie at the cinema yesterday. Although it was awesome I felt sad the whole time. The reason for that is it made me think about death. I have a love hate relationship to this subject. I've always been drawn to it, like some sort of fascination for the fact that it's all ending. But I think mainly because I'm trying to figure out a way to handle it, romanticize to keep from getting all nasty. The truth is I won't accept how things are. Maybe when getting older I feel it's nature's way and all that. Now I only detest how it takes people away from me and finally I go as well. Anyhow, those thoughts have two reasons. At first the beautiful, and I don't mean his appearance as much as his talent, actor who died before the premier. And second, but most important, my grandfather. The story about that I just adore! I was around five years old and just seen the Batman cartoon, even then guys in black draw my attention. He was mysterious and misunderstood. The whole concept really appealed to me, he being above the law. Later my grandfather took me to a store full of toys. And there it was, this little Batman figure! I was never one of those kids nagging their parents to buy them stuff so I guess he just decided to give it to me since it was my favourite superhero. My grandmother was a bit unpleased and said "Couldn't you bought her a real doll instead". I wish he'd lived today so I could tell him how important this memory is to me. When later in life people tried to change me I noticed this warmth from knowing how open he was to letting me be myself.
