Day 6

Posted in The Three Month Challenge at 6:47 pm by kairea

Yesterday I watched the movie “Click”, the one with Adam Sandler. Not bad…Not bad at all.

It left me thinking about life, and how one may take things for granted just to regret it later.

“I was in autopilot!”…How many times have we not felt like that? I do, almost every day, especially in my car. Once you have the same road to travel, over and over again it’s as if you just teleported yourself from your house to your work or, in my case, to school. Not taking notice of the world, of the things that surround me…

Am I missing life?

Then the movie is more about family and how important keeping it together, and being with the ones you love is. I think that the movie goes that way because, to the main character, his family is the most important thing in the world, and trying to give them everything is how he doesn’t give them that which he’s been trying to show all along with his autopilot actions…that he loves them.

I love my family, but they are not my main focus. Yet I do feel that I’m missing something. I don’t know what, even though the itinerary I set out for my life has gone according to plan…so far.

The point is, this guy, Sandler, he fast-forwards through life…Maybe he didn’t want to, but the remote control that plays the movie of his life follows the patterns he has created. I don’t want to be like that. Forget what’s important in life, what I really want out of it.

I don’t know, it was only a thought.
