    The first time I had the house to my self longer than a week was when I was 15. I walked around my house naked pretty much 24/7

    Fun fact.

    In Inception, Cobb's Totem is His Wedding Ring

    The Theory:

    ... and that's because we've been looking in the wrong direction. The top was never Cobb's totem -- it was his wedding ring all along. This is based on the fact that, every time we see Cobb's hand in the dream world, he happens to have the ring on it; you can see it in the opening scene, and again in that crazy dream in the cafe.
    Meanwhile, every time we see Cobb's hand in the real world, he doesn't have it. It's not there on any of the present-day, non-dream scenes at the beginning, and it's not there in the last few scenes ... meaning that the ending wasn't a dream. Check it out, this is right before he makes the top spin and the director pulls a The Sopranos on us:
    Keep in mind, Cobb never said the top was his totem. Seriously, go back and rewatch the movie: He doesn't. We see him clutching the top in his hand when Juno asks about totems, but there's a good reason for him to do that: The top belonged to his dead wife, and, as the movie doesn't hesitate to show us, Cobb is still slightly hung up on her.
    ****, now I have to rewatch Inception.

    ^ Well, if that's true, my mind is blown.

    At the very least the ending was cleverly hidden instead of being an asspull 3deep5u.

    Gonna re-watch it(for the 4thtime) too, just for that ring. Anyway I liked the ending, at least the one in the version where top is his totem, which was the only interpretation I knew of. It wasn't about the top spinning or not. He got his children back, and he believes that it's real, even if it was the dream(totally opposite from . He didn't even look at the top.

    Chris Nolan best director 21 century.

    I am not afraid to cry like a child.

    My grandfather died yesterday.

    You know that terrible feeling when you pick up your phone to call someone, forgetting they just died the day before? That terrible feeling when the phone continuously rings, and you hope they'll answer their phone, but you know they will not?

    Our last conversation, he was convinced he was going to Hell. He shared all of his horror stories with me. I learned a lot of terrifying things. Either way, to comfort him, I sent him on a mission to help someone for me that I can't help anymore when he gets to Heaven. Childish? Sure. Whatever it takes to comfort someone.

    I told him a story.
    I chose not to end the story because it didn't have an ending at the time. He was rather upset that I didn't end it, as he seemed really interested, but he was happy at the promise that I would finish it at a later time.

    How am I supposed to finish telling him my story now?

    Once you know the end of the story, he will too.

    Myrrh, that sucks. A dying relative is tough **** no matter who it was. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    Speaking of emotions and crying, I'm actually scared of myself and as I read through your comment, I realized I'm driving headfirst towards a state of emotionless.
    I don't even remember the last time I cried (it was such a long time ago, I don't even know if it was real or some half remembered dream) and I haven't truly laughed for an equally long time. I found myself watching gore, snuff movies and executions without a flinch.
    I'm not sad, but I'm not happy either. I'm not truly angered by no one, but I can't be empathic either.
    I'm just here, in a state of constant "not give a ****".

    I wish I had gotten to know my all my grandparents better before they died, though my mother's mother died when my mother was only 15. I feel like an *** for not caring about them before.

    It really is.

    My deepest condolences to Myrrh, I know how horrible losing a family member is, and someone losing theirs is no joke.

    It is a good thing you are not afraid to. I've bottled up so much to the point where there are times I just... blow up. And that usually results in a bad time for the people around me.

    My grandfather (on my mother's side, my father's side had died when I was a year old) was probably the only person in my whole family that ever really connected to me on a personal level. There would be nights where I would stay over at his house, and we would go outside at night and sit in the crooks of this tree in the backyard and watch the stars. He would tell me stories, and he would always show me that he cared and looked after me. He made me feel like I mattered, and he always managed to make me calm and gain a balance in my emotions... somehow.

    For the last seven years of his life, he was plagued by health problems that would make nearly any other man just crumble and give up. Breast cancer, kidney and liver failure, heart-attack and a stroke. Yet, whenever I was around him, he seemed like none of that really bothered him, like his love for his family was just too strong.

    I understand the occurrence of one not having finished something or missed out on something with someone because of death, but I also think that you could consider yourself part of that mission now. You'll have to follow him eventually to finish off that story of yours.

    My grandfather died 8 years, 2 months, and 28 days ago (Probably the only person I have memorized the exact date of their death, and it's not really by choice, it just happened.), and I still miss him. I still miss him enough to where it makes my chest hurt. And when there are special moments that happen, I find myself wishing he were around, so I could show him what I accomplished. I don't think I will ever 'not' miss him.

    You made my chest hurt now as well.
    Sad heartbreaking things indeed.

    My condolences to Myrrh. It's that terrible feel when someone important to you die. Even when you manage accept the fact that the person's gone in your soul, your mind still works against you. My grandma who passed ~1.5y ago lived in a house behind our, and I remember even months later, I would lower my speakers volume so they won't to disturb her, or think of visiting her to check her up or bring or show her something. Only to realize that she isn't here anymore, few seconds later. I feel your pain. As for the story, finish it for him and yourself. You can go tell him whenever you want. It all depends on your point of view.

    @Mahati Don't do that man. I know that your personality pushes you towards it, but stop it if you can.The state of emptiness and emotionless is the worst possible condition imho. I believe there was already a discussion it sometimes in the past.
