So, a had a friend say their number one movie is Forrest Gump. And being 33 I have never seen it. I know, I know don’t judge me haha

I have heard the famous quotes. But never seen the full movie. So today, I decided to watch it.

The famous quote ‘Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.’

This quote applies to all of us. And couldn’t agree more. Whatever chocolate we pick, we are always going to be surprised. And how we react and how we handle it, is how it affects us the most. I have picked a lot of chocolates, and believe me they have not tasted great, I wanted to spit them out and start again. But, I cannot. Life doesn’t allow some things to start over. And that is okay.

Please understand I am not saying I picked everything that happened to me. Believe me if I knew that’s how it was going to go. I would not have picked it.

But in a way, I am glad things happened the way they did. In a way, is very key here. Yes, my life is hard, yes, it is lonely, sad, heartbreaking, there are tears (lots) and no it is not easy. But my life is also good, I have fun, there is happiness, there is laughter, there is kindness, there is hope, there is gratitude, and thankfulness. And I get to write to you and tell you it will be okay. And I am here and who I am, because of everything that has happened.

My darling, life is like a box of chocolates, as you do not know what you will get or how things will turn out. But that does not mean we give up. That does not mean we treat others poorly, and when life gets tough, we definitely don’t throw it back and wish we had someone else’s life. because you would not be happy in someone else’s shoes.

There’s a saying, the grass is greener on the other side. Please. There is also another saying. Where you water is where you will flourish. (if you pay proper attention to and take care of whatever you have in life, it will always grow and flourish)

So, my darling, don’t wish your life away, don’t wish you could have something else or someone else because it fucking hurts. Life is short. Life is hard. Life is good. it is how you live; it is our you behave on day-to-day things, and in the big things, also it is how your attitude is. and if you are not happy or even if you are but want to do more, go get it. Take care of where you stand, where you are and who you are.

There is another quote from Forrest Gump;

‘Don’t ever let anybody tell you they’re better than you. If God intended everybody to be the same, he’d given us all braces on out legs.’

I couldn’t agree more. Don’t walk around thinking you are better than anyone else, don’t walk around saying harsh things to people, just because their life is not like yours. Doesn’t give us the right to put others down and be horrible. Because we are all different, and if we were all the same, life would be so boring. Just think about how you act, what you say, because in that moment it could make or break someone. And words hurt!

Instead, be kind, listen, be heard, be accepting, be there, make time and most of Love.

My darling, life is like a box of chocolates, but make it fun, surprise yourself, if you pick something and you don’t like, well keep going, because you can say you did it. And I am going to keep going no matter what. I got this. I am worth it. life is worth it. and so are you! And guess what; you are worth YOU.
