Love in the Corral

When trying to understand love, my head hurts because it is complicated in some ways, but sometimes I tend to look at it in a more natural light, I love someone and I want her to be happy even if it is not me that will provide that warmth but at least someone who can love her ever better as I do, but then again I sound like a martyr even if I don't want to be one.

The story of "the Corral" is kind of sad if you ask me, Pilar was trapped and no one can help her, she tried escaping it but went in vain when he came back to the not so perfect Mr. Perfecto. Like what the title describes, the corral portrays a trap in society where in the need for a solid status in society is needed or at least stable where one's future is secured, although it sounds as if there is no more choices in life, but there are choices. Just because she had a bump in her road, she gave up. To think, during her time, if you were around this age and you are still unmarried, your future is in danger. Now, people think about it a lot before considering the ideas of marriage because of factors like their careerm, social responsibility and so on. If pilar just so happens to be here today, she would be very happy.

On the other hand, unrequitted really is cute in some ways, and sucks the other way around. To think that you admire someone froma a far and he/she doesn't even recognize your existence. In "Love in the cornhusks" Tinay just had her first born and is already pregnant. She visits her old boss and gets a letter from a past love. She then goes on a trip down memory lane and before she knows it, reality comes back in a form of a snake slithering its way to her baby.

It is fun in a sense to see that we tend to hold memories deep within ourselves and keep it as a reminder to us that this is us then, our choices we made and actions took. And this is what we are now, stronger, better, faster just like in the song by daft punk and the remix of Kanye West.
