This is modern love live at the Provincetown Film Festival.
Recently, we brought modern love to the Provincetown Film Festival in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
The show featured some incredible stories, including one by Rachel Munro called my backseat view of a great romance.
It was performed by Chloe Grace Moretz, who starred in if I stay, Carrie and Clouds of Sills Maria, and this summer you can see her in the miseducation of Cameron Post.
Here's Chloe.
Hi.
My plan was to go to Morocco to escape romance, not learn a lesson in it.
I had been awarded a prestigious research grant, and the year long stint in ocean away seemed the perfect excuse to finally break up with my sort of boyfriend.
Though we lived on opposite coasts, this boyfriend type person and I had been together for more than two years, and I'd been fighting it the whole time.
Being a girlfriend seemed so old fashioned, and besides, it made me behave in ways that I disapproved of.
I needed him in my life, and I resented that fact.
In my early twenties, wasn't I supposed to be careless and uncommitted?
With the trip looming, we decided, at my urging, to break up for real this time.
I thought I would feel liberated.
Instead, I spent my days mooning around the house, crying or baking to distract myself from crying.
I forced myself to remember that, well, this was exactly what I wanted to.
