All the words describing beauty and my love for someone in the world isn't enough to describe her beauty and my love for her

I think the question would better be what DOESN'T make me think of Neytiri?

Loads of things do, but mainly a little song lyric or something will set me off.

I agree, Stan. We get that "ecstasy" feeling because we TRULY have deep feelings for her. The feeling of certain songs coupled with her pictures...well psh, that's a potent mix.

For me I'd have to say this song really brings out her party side, the side that I believe is the most important.

Why does this unusual song come to mind? Well I was in a similar circumstance as you, Stan. I was listening to this song and I was around 2:02 specifically as I pulled out my phone just to check it (total coincidence). My wallpaper at the time and the song just blended together as the line played: "She's got that teen spirit." And it just seemed to flow perfectly, because hell...Neytiri seems to have more spirit than any person I can think of.

I agree, great story! And yea, she does have an amazing spirit, she fights for what she truly believes in

Actually one of my fantasies is me raving with Neytiri to some beautiful trance songs, surrounded by people, but no one close enough to interfere with our connection to each other. Our hearts both beat rhythmically to the beat of the music and with each other, the lights, lasers, and strobes flash around us, there's beautiful people all around us, and we're lost in each other, dancing together like no tomorrow. We dance in slow motion as the beat stops and the synths continue, and speed back up when the beat drops back in, her tail wrapped around my leg, we tsahaylu with each other, and we fully and truly See each other, what we truly want, who we truly want; each other. We love each other unconditionally, forever

I can see why that makes you think of her Stan, the lyrics and the music... just really, really nice.

This is the song I was referring to in my case.

Some of the lyrics are a bit unrelated but these;

"I think you are beautiful,
and you know it by one look,
did you long for summertime
when you were growing up"

"Well your life's just a breeze in eternity,
why not take this one chance and come fly with me?
Just this once,
just this second that soon will be gone."

"If this second was your life,
what would you do?
If this second was your life,
I would love you,
if this second was your life,
would you love me?

If this second was my life,
I would love it,
if this second was my life,
I would love you,
if this second was my life,
I would happily die."

Really do set me off into one of *those* moods.

Hah, I figured someone would post the image(s) I mentioned! But here's something honestly really weird about myself: I could not have put them up because for some reason whenever my eyes detect that shot of Neytiri in the shack, I nearly always automatically look away, or scroll away, or don't let my eyes pay attention to her. Again, it's really weird: I instinctively don't let myself look at her in that scene. Actually this reaction of mine has decreased a little bit recently, but I still feel roughly the same way.

I think it started when I first saw much smaller-sized copies of that image on AF. Somehow my eyes played a trick on me, and I saw Neytiri's own gaze directed not towards where her rescuee would be, but straight towards me instead. As if I was in Jake's exact position, looking from his own perspective. Instantaneously, my heart would race with excitement yet something inside would tell me not to look at her, and I'd obey to the point where it became a habit. After a lot of pondering, I've come up with some possible answers why:

-I may actually be afraid of her. Don't get me wrong, if she was real and focused on me with that light in her eyes and that smile which I think is the most beautiful smile I've ever seen..."melt with joy" would be an understatement of how I'd feel. But barring that or any similar scenario I think I'd feel nervous and terrified if I had the chance of meeting her. And I think that is because...

-I would love to share love with her if she was a real person, but I would not feel worthy of it. In my mind I would not measure up to her, personality-wise. The flaws that I see in myself would prevent that. (Consequently, I am always evaluating my own character on a day-to-day basis, trying to be someone that a woman like Neytiri could love. The thing that I always tell myself is "I want to be worthy of that smile.")

And lastly...

-I don't look at that image because I don't want to memorize it in my mind. I don't want it to lose the utter beauty and emotional power that is inherent in it. People on this site have said that "the magic is gone" for them in regards to the movie in general...well, I don't want the magic of this one scene to ever leave me. I can not think of a more pure expression of true love in any other movie I have seen, and there is no other scene in Avatar that I think of more than this one.

There could be other reasons...my mind can be strange sometimes.

^Wow.

And I thought I was the only one.

All those answers seem kind of reasonable to me too...
I particularly have the thoughts of being 'worthy' as well.

I can't single out any one emotion I feel when I think of her. I feel so much flood over me when I think about her.

THANKS!! I was afraid that that was too strange for me to post, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has these kinds of thoughts.

You are worthy, be yourself and yourself only.

Thank you for saying that, it warmed me up a bit inside.

It sometimes appears to me that I can only be myself anyways.

This is very true... There are the obvious ones, but there are so many, some I can't even describe properly...
