Haha no, I totally get you. I was also bitten by a bee for the first time when I was older, like 28, and also wondered how it would be. I laughed at your hypochondriac rabbit hole because it's so relatable.
[Big tangent: I found it funny that when I started reading about the bee sting, I immediately thought of that scene from that movie. And then when you mentioned the title of that movie I looked it up thinking it was another movie, but oh surprise! It's not called Mi Primer Beso in English and never knew that was the original title. How can a scene be so defining for a generation? Do you think that cinema is the medium that has the most of that kind of collective impact? I think I do, and also think that there are less generation-defining movies nowadays, probably because there are way more movies]
Anyway, on your message, sometimes the simplest things bring the most profound reflections. And this could all be a meditation! It's like those Moments in the Waking Up app. Great reminder to begin again.
LOL I’m glad I’m okay too! I feel like everyone has been stung by one except me until this. I always wondered when that day would come. So anti-climatic hahaha. Also, how do you know if you’re allergic without getting stung? It seems like a thing people know?! Were you allergic? This was right after a particular conversation about mortality by the way cough cough. So, I was like, yep, this is it! This is how I’m going, death by bee sting, Macaulay Culkin style. Alas, I live to see another day! Just an itchy leg for me.
I always forget about movie titles in other languages, they’re always SO funny hahaha. Mi Primer Beso really changes things – it’s interesting how the title changes the meaning. I mean, I don’t see the movie being ALL about that, so I wonder why they picked it? So different!
I wonder if other people feel that way about that scene. I love that movie. It’s such a classic! I do think film has the stronger collective impact – maybe for a period of time, it was television, though. I’m talking like the Sopranos and Friends type eras or even older ones when TV was more centered around family time. Though, I didn’t personally feel that collective impact, but maybe I just forget. But, I would say it’s largely film, but I don’t know, maybe now it’s like, internet stuff? Videos? Memes? I don’t know, I still think there are generation-defining movies. I don’t think the abundance has taken that away, but I’d have to think about that some more.
Hahaha. Should I write to Sam Harris and ask him to let me do a Waking Up takeover?? And thank you, as always, for reading! Me and my bee sting appreciate you.
I'm glad you're ok 😅
