thoughts anyone?
"In some ways, betrayal is inevitable. When our bodies betray us, surgery is often the key to recovery. When we betray each other, the path to recovery is less clear. We do whatever it takes to rebuild the trust that was lost. And then there are some wounds, some betrayals…that are so deep, so profound that there is no way to repair what was lost. And when that happens, there's nothing left to do but wait. "
I've recently been sparked by all of our talks about betrayl...and today I learned something. It's definatly not a one - sided action...I took part in my own betrayl as I'm sure we all have by allowing that person to betray us. To take a part of us that we should have a better lock down on. All we really want is to be close to somebody..and of course close can be too close but in certain times everyone needs a little invasion of their privacy and comfort zones. I'd have to say it changed me and betrayl really does change a person...it makes them more vulnerbale to reality. Betrayl of friendship, of honesty, of faith, of your heart...it all rely's on yourself and even though the betrayer is in the wrong, it is you who comes out the stronger person. It's our own jobs to bounce back from it and decide how to handle it. The only hard part about moving forward is not looking back, which is why I choose to move ahead rather then rewind.
I think all of these charecters have a strong element of trust but at the same time confinement to them and I would really enjoy seeing that element come out within them seeiming as they have such amazing developments.
If that made any sense to anyone. =)

cool thoughts. who is the quote from? i like what you said about us taking part in our own betrayal. it's true. it takes two. one to do the betraying and the other to have given up something to be betrayed, as well as to feel the betrayal. i'm curious what you mean when you mentioned the characters confinement. could you explain that a bit more? and how you would like to see that in that play?
I mean they're all confined in their own ways. You have the young girl diagnosed with cancer who is confined to a hospital bed and a gloomy place, then her friends her are confined to their helplesness. I think every charecter has a sense of confinement in them that it would be neat to watch them break. I'd like too see them break the 4th wall. Not all of them but someof them like the boy coming on the plane and how he learns to adapt and such. Do you know what I mean? lol
breaking the 4th wall. a very good suggestion for this piece. i'm definitely thinking about it...
if you get even more specific ideas, please post them.
I think the quote is from Grey's Anatomy. Just thought I'd put that out there. :)
I'm not very good with the betrayal thing. What I mean is that I don't give it much thought. I've probably been betrayed in my life. Maybe it wasn't anything big. Maybe just a girl saying she'd give me her cookie and then deciding to give it to someone else because she liked them better. I think maybe I'm in denial about things like that. Like I just don't seem to care and what my brain does is push it back. Or maybe I really just haven't been betrayed. Or betrayed anyone else. But I have to doubt that. Anyway...my point? Hmm...I wasn't really sure about any of the things you were saying because, like I said, it's not something I'm very good at facing or thinking about...sharing with other people. But my point...maybe some people are betrayed and don't realize it and it happens over and over and still deny it. I don't know...it kinda developed from me completely not understanding the concept of betrayal to thinking maybe I just don't care enough to recognize it. Ok so now im confused. I maybe don't have a point. You can read as far as you'd like into that...
