Bad things do happen to good people

" life is like a box of chocolates"

As said by Forrest Gump played by Tom Hanks.

That was my fave show when i was small, till now it still is. Somehow everytime i watch it, i never fail to be inspired. Hollywood don't make these kind of movies anymore. The last time a movie moved me was "Passion of the Chirst". But of course, as a Christian it was what i believe in.

If only people see the world like Forrest Gump did, will it be a better place? I'm not askin people to be as stupid as he is, but the simple and equal perspective he has for everyone. Including the president of ths US. Stupid you might say, but i see him differently.

Other's call him stupid, that doesn't seem to bother him at all. When was the last time someone else hurt you with the words said. For some of us, it can be an everyday affair. I got pretty much when i was growing up. You know the usual stuff when parents compare you with the neighbour's kids.

Now that we are all grown up, what next? Life has it ups and downs and it seems that we are jus runnning in circles. True, to a certain extend but are we placed here on this world jus for a time such like this?

When i was growing up i always feel i was an "accident". A lonely child with 3 much older sisters.
Life do packs a lot of suprises. I'm one of them! haha..at least to my parents i am. So life goes on, from primary school till my graduation from shatec was a good 23 years. What will be the next chapter in my life, i always been asking myself that ever since i could start to think.

Somehow " life is like a box of chocolates" seem even more relevent now compared to the time i've watched the movie as a small boy. As a grown up, responsibilities sets in, decisions i have to make. All these leads to another to another to another "sub-plot" of my life. I can never know what life will bring, but i'm sure, anyone can make life the best possible. Matter of choice.

Or rather, how much you want it to be.

Everyone goes through tests, what test does life bring you?

As of John Proctor in the play "The Crucible" whereas he rather face death than betrayal of his conscience shows us that Man too has to go through fire to be purified to extract the pure element from impurities.

Alas, Life still goes on no matter what it throws at you.

Through fire and ice, i thred
Knowledge from above, i've no regret
Whom should i see at the end of the road
Take heed, its going to stumble
Do not listen to whispering ears
As it will bound to hinder
Flowing visions in your slumber
Go thereforth to seize the moment
The time of the day from hereforth


To all my Friends, do not be dishearted. You are never alone when things goes wrong.


Shit* happens
