The 'Host' that lives inside of us

A couple of days ago i decided to watch a movie in the middle of the night because i was in desperate need of inspiration, a though of the movie, The Host, suddenly flew by my mind because i saw the trailer a couple of weeks ago and i was quite impressed, so i decided to watch it anyways despite for the fact that i needed to wake up at 7 am in the morning hahahaha

The movie started off a little bit confusing as a girl named, Melanie, was running away from these peoples that were dressed in white and holding this some kind of futuristic pepper spray, the story continued on where Melanie died because she bursted out of a window and jumped off of a building, which later on she was taken by these people dressed in white to a room where she was lied down and they injected something into her back neck and this creature came out of this metal compartment and it got into Melanie's body.

Based from the movie, the human population was being taken over by these aliens from another planet as they can control a human's body but sometimes, some human fights back so even though the aliens are occupying their body, the presence of their soul still haunts their mind and sometimes it's hard for them to permanently leave. Melanie is different from the rest, her Host, Wanderer feels her strong presence in 'their' head and whenever she wants to do something, Melanie steps in it.

The movie was a sci-fi romance film that had a really interesting storyline as Melanie and Wanderer was torn between two men, Melanie wanted to be with Jared and Wanderer fell in love with Ian, but using Melanie's body. As the story continued on, it made me opened my eyes that a person can truly love someone based on what they are on the inside regardless of what they look like on the outside.

You guys might think i'm crazy for saying this, but i think every single human being that has ever existed in this world has their own 'Host' living inside of them. Including me, including you; who's currently reading my blog, including us, us all.

Ever wonder who is that little voice that wanders inside our head every time we are about to make a decision? that voice that seems to say contradicting things in comparison to what our heart says? well that my friend, i call them our 'Host' or i also like to call them our 2nd-selves.

These Hosts are a part of us that had gone through events that we have and felt what we feel since the day we were born. But sometimes we close ourselves to our internal voices because hearing all of these voices (both from internal and external factors) can be quite exhausting but we don't realise that we are forgetting a piece of ourselves left behind.

In the movie, even though Wanderer was controlling Melanie's body, a part of Melanie's soul still exists within, every decision that Wanderer wants to make that is against Melanie's virtue, things didn't go as well as either of them wanted because these two were fighting with each other. Same with us, when we want something but if there is a wary feeling that we have inside, it will show and effect ourselves, sometimes if we keep on going with these internal disturbance going on, things could go fatal.

I have come to the conclusion that to connect with ourselves is to make ourselves in peace with our Hosts and learn to fall in love with ourselves again and again.
