“I miss who I was when I was with him.”

For the uninitiated, I frequent the cinemas once a week. Yesterday’s movie of the week was “The Brave One”. In it, the character Erica Bairns (played by Jodie Foster) said something to Mercer (played by Terrence Howard, my current woo-hoo!) that I took away with me even after I left the cinema halls.

She said, “I miss who I was when I was with him.”

Can you relate to that? I sure can.

Ever notice that we are different persons when we are around different people? I do not mean just the different roles and personas that we play. I mean that different people bring out the different sides in us.

Being with some people brings out the best in us, whilst being with some others brings out the worst in us. And we are truly different persons with different people.

I know he truly brings out the best in me. I hope I do him, too.
