"Anything can happen. Anything happens all the time." - Penny in "This is where I leave you"
This Is Where I Leave You
Funny. So simple yet so true. Anything CAN happen. Opportunities, failures, SHIT. Anything happens all the time. I guess it is what we call life.
There is no negotiation. Ce'st la vie.
I saw this movie by my lonesome, as usual, Though, lengthy it touched on many points and issues people my age are still going through. Poignant. Real.
TIWILY Quotes
The quote that this entry gets its title is from a character in the movie. She said those lines when the main character, her love from her youth was saying goodbye. Rather than being still bitter, she uttered those lines because she did believe that anything can STILL happen. What a positive way to look at the situation.
The past, regrets, memories both good and bad and life in the now. These are themes that I always encounter especially as I age. Though we all have regrets, I have learned to mitigate them by seizing the opportunity with often extreme alacrity and disregard. If I like a girl, I ask her out. If an opportunity for business presents itself, I explore and so on.
Such is life. Cosmic forces are in place. I still believe that we are mere chess pieces in a board that is the universe. Someone out there is doing the moving. As in my past writings, I have learned that their is a God. For only He could have put me in this place at that time for this and that. .
There is no way to analyze life in general. There are the good things and the bad. In my youth I would take the bad things as punishment for my sins or misdeeds. Some kind of karma. Then again, I aged and I saw the other side more. The pluses still outweigh the negatives.
Is it destiny? I believe so. I do also think that a certain proactive approach should be undertaken. I mean, not much will happen if I sulk and allow myself to decay by myself at home in solitude/ If it is meant to be, I also have to MAKE it happen.
I recently managed a personal crisis. I think its mostly over. I hope so. I am have begun to heal. The incident involved a lot of betrayals, harsh words and lies. That was one barbecue in the park I should not have gone to and tasted. Yet, I am sort of understanding why despite the hurt I endured and still am healing from, I also got my eyes opened again. In this stage of my life, some friends I thought were true were merely masquerading/ A painful reality unfolded. For a while I felt so alone. In the dark.
That is when real friends in my life surfaced, shining through the dark again. I have many acquaintances, connections and pals. However, only a few make it to my bonafide, certified "FRIEND" list. It's kinda like that mental exercise when you envision who you have to be with on boat that sails the world. Only a few make it to be my crew.
There is no choice. One life. Face life, with HOPE. Fear is OK but should get the better of you. Gotta hope for the best because anything CAN happen.......
