Introduction
I feel like I’m going through something. I don’t know what it is called. All I know is, I’m confused most of the time, but also really calm and collected at others. I have been stuck waiting for stuff to happen to me. Like a ball waiting for it to be moved.
Its hard to find the push, the push to move. It is tough to move when you do not know where you are supposed to be moving. But regardless, any motion is better than staying static, right?
Why movies and life is so similar yet so different
We watch movies, and hope. Hope that life was as simple as it is in them. We watch love stories, and hope love came to us that easily. We watch adventure movies, and long for something like that to happen to us. We watch a bunch of friends hanging out, and we wish we could experience that.
But what I feel is, the reason we like movies is because it is an altered version of life. There are bits and pieces to it from our own lives. We don’t really relate to it, but we relate to the want that is achieved in the movie. When a heartbroken teenager sees a romance movie, he does not like it because he relates to it. He likes it because it reminded him of what could have been in his life.
Movies are I feel two dimensional.. Whereas life is multi-dimensional. Movies make us feel like life is a series of choices- either this or that. Either the red pill, or the blue pill. But what I feel is life is much more than that. Life has a blue pill, a red pill, an orange pill, a black pill and a ton of other pills.
Conclusion
What I’m saying is, sometimes we wait for life to happen to us…. Like it happens in movies. We see these lovable characters, all stuck somewhere in their lives, and we see that they get an opportunity to get out of that static motion and start moving. And they do. Life is hardly like that. Most people don’t have a ‘Escape the static motion’.
What they do have is a self push option. Work on it and hope an opportunity presents itself in due time and it works out. You cannot wait for life to happen to you dear reader, you have to make it happen.
Remember, lucky days are once a blue moon thing. But, if you show up every day, if you are consistent every day, you will never miss a lucky day. Rome was not built in a day. Many things go unnoticed for years before they are finally noticed by society.
All I’m saying is, don’t wait for life to happen to you, make it happen… You might not know exactly what to do but do something. That’s all.
Thank You <3
