"When something happens to you that hasn't happened before, don't you at least have to find out what it is?"
Julian Mercer
Something's Gotta Give
2003
So being the curious that I am, I take on this curiosity of seeking to find answers to the most complex issues. I learned a valuable lesson today, a huge one to say the least; you cannot sit around wondering what happened, you must get up and make sure you don't allow the happening to get to you.
We all appear to have the same make up. We breathe, we think, we imagine and we feel. When we question what takes someones breath away or what they think, we seem to fall short in understanding how one can imagine seeing themselves feeling like they know what its like to be in another person's shoes.
I still to this day compartmentalize and categorize things in my life. I check things off the list and structurally move to the next challenge, goal or even impossible situation. I think, what if I stopped categorizing the check list, and started to enjoy the categories I put myself in rather than move through them like a freaking survey, I may actually not take things so far for granted.
Literally... Somethings Gotta Give.
So, I think about it this way, I must stop seeking the approval of my to do items, and start living the approval of my own self worth. We cannot all be superheros, we cannot all be intelligent or successful, but we can all be mirrors to our own perception.
Spending time with one another is like spending time with your own valuable worth. People are running ragged these days, constantly trying to figure it out. I am one of them. Racing to the next finish line before enjoying the sprint or marathon I am in.
My brother made a good point. You cannot drive down the road just focused on the car in front of you, you have to look at all your surroundings. Often you cannot find what you are truly looking for without relieving yourself some pressure of who's really watching.
I know this film was about realizing that sometimes life strikes us different at different times. Just because we may want something to fill the void, doesn't necessarily mean the void was needing to be filled. Maybe, perhaps just maybe the compartment was not in need of any category, maybe it just wanted to come down from the shelf and be enjoyed.
