(no subject)
I've thought about it... i'm broke... and i want to buy things. So i guess i'm gonna work at both Villa Pennas and Abercrombie. And if I go back to abercrombie, i can get my winter clothes with the associates purchase discount... yay, there goes my xmas break.
I went to the movies today with my dad and saw the movie "Elf." It was hilarious without a doubt. But watching one of the previews gave me a chill down my spine. It was the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King trailer... Yes people, everyone knows i'm obsessed with that book, yes tolkien was a genius, and yes you're thinking that anything with Lord of the Rings would give me a chill but, it wasnt that. It was a phrase that Gandalf said that always captures me in the moment ~ "... All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us..." The sound of his voice, the vibrations of the bass on my chest, and the rememberance of my favorite quote made me a little weak inside. I questioned myself if i was living my life how i am suppose to. But i think you need more from the scene and the story to understand me a little better. Frodo, a hobbit, is entrusted with a ring that will shape the future of his world. Its a heavy burden upon him and he questions his ownership of it...
Frodo:
I wish the Ring had never come to me.
I wish none of this had happened...
Gandalf:
So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought...
These words have meant so much to me for the past three years. Everytime i am faced with hard times in my life i think of these words. Very similarily i ask myself "i wish none of this happened to me" but i realize that it is all for a reason. My life is put in front of me and all i have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to me. I turn my obstacles into achievable goals, and make what i can of it. If life sucks, we can change it, no matter how much evil, there will always be some good. And that good is sometimes worth fighting for. We are put obstacles in our way to only surpass them and to learn from them. Life sucks, finances suck, family issues are a bizotch, school is hard, crew is physically demanding, girls are cruel (lol)... but we are given these for a reason. Nobody's life is made in a straight line, its jagged, bumpy, with hills and bridges... damnit, it takes us three lefts to make a right. But dont get too caught up in it. Theres times to laugh and theres times to cry... dont take it too seriously or too laid back... live your life... decide what to do with the time that is given to you...
...life is short but sweet for certain (dave matthews)...
leave love,
scott
