Jaws 🤣. I don't know what my parents were thinking. I was 9 and my sister 12, they took us to the drive-in, and on the way home the car broke down. Thank goodness we weren't driving on a coast road.🤣
Simone! ha ha!! OMGoodness! That’s terrible! That was the most petrifying movie! What on earth were our parents thinking back then! I got to have my first birthday party, in America, when I was six. A sleepover too! My dad worked for Disney and brought home a reel to reel movie he rented out for six little girls to watch, sleeping bags sprawled out. It was Old Yeller!!!!! He didn’t know! Half of my new friends cried so hard they had to go home! and THANK GOD you didn’t break down on the coast! Talk about nightmares!
🤣🤣🤣, those kids at your party probably still remember. I think my parents thought we would fall asleep in the back of the old Morris Minor 🤣. What about The Exorcist, l watched that with a girlfriend when her parents were out. It must have been around 1980 when we watched it. The most terrifying movie l have ever seen. 😱
Omg! The Morris Minor! My dad talked about that car! I think we had one in England! And I think I have discovered, today, right at this second, why I can’t watch any scary, death cult, shark attack, serial killer, movies!! EVER! I am waaaayy too visual for any of it! If anyone wants to describe in detail what has happened to an animal or person, “by the hands of another,” I immediately have to stop them or I will “see it.” And I am a big rescue person who sees tragic animals all the time, but at my choice to prepare myself - plus I am the first to run to someone to help them. Blood, nothing bothers me in a life and death emergency. But live murder, torture, scary occult stuff, I can’t do it! Funny how the brain works!
Yes, my sister and l still talk about that car, and that night 🤣. I can’t watch anything about serial killers etc either anymore, it just puts out a not so good energy. The energy of fear can feel like excitement, l think that’s part of the attraction for people?
There was a TV show when l was a kid called, The Littlest Hobo, about a transient dog. At the end of each show, he would hit the road after his good deeds and l would start crying because he was on his own 🤦♀️. I am calm in crisis, though not sure l could be a paramedic.
Yes, terrible energy and there’s an attraction to that energy, especially when void of the positive spiritual world. I think I’m a lot like you. I am very calm in crisis and a get-to-it-person, but in the end, after seeing trauma day after day, I think it could take us down. I believe people like us do those jobs that can separate in order to “rescue” but they do suffer inside later. It’s the act of violence toward another that I can’t watch!
Yes, l imagine people facing other’s trauma everyday would bear the emotional brunt of it. And also agree that the attraction to fear based violent ‘entertainment’ can be at the expense of feeling the spiritual self, for there is simply no match vibrationally.
It never ceases to amaze me That you even as a teen you had a gift with words and the ability to really think. I was only 14 in 1977 and I was so scared by Jaws. My mother had forbade me to see it but I got my older brother to get me in. I never watched it again or the sequels. If I run across it on TV I change the channel.

Agreed. There is a great separation of the soul there. I’m just too deep, too much an empath!
Yes, l can feel it ❤️

Not sure how I missed this but thank you so much Linda for taking the time! Jaws definitely changed our view of swimming in the ocean! ha ha!
