My Scotsman and I went to see X2 last night, and since I don’t want to spoil it for those that haven’t seen it yet…

The whole time I was kept on my seat, but for me, what hit was watching Jean Grey evolve throughout the movie. It was quite obvious that she had something for Wolverine, even though she was married to Cyclops. By the end of the movie, I could completely identify with what she was feeling – completely torn between two people and having to accept her choice. In the end, despite Wolverine telling Cyclops, “She chose you.” she didn’t really, she managed to choose both, yet neither. That’s kind of how I feel sometimes, torn between two people, whenever I meet someone that has potential. Mainly that comes from outside influence (people who seem to think that everyone only settles down to one) and causes me to question exactly what is wrong with me, to the point I either get depressed, or I try to run off by myself because it puts me in an “all-or-nothing” position that I have difficulties getting out of. Sometimes it makes me want to “evolve” into something else where I can run away, but I can’t and I’m left trying to salvage what I can with the least amount of pain.
