Realization
Some people might say that life is based on money. Some others might say that life is based on happiness. Well I believe that life is based on accomplishment. If you do not know what I am talking about I will explain. I believe that in life god throws you challenges everyday that you must overcome. Some are bigger than others but they are challenges never the less. I believe thats its how you react to those challenges that really makes life worth living. For instance, if god challenges you in school and you accept that challenge you get good grades and that will eventually pay of which is called an accomplishment. Or say that you are having troubles with girls, (which I am currently having), and you do not know what to do about a girl you like. Say that you finally get that girl you like to notice you which makes you happy which is a huge accomplishment in your eyes. Money, power and respect are the things that every person would dream to have when they are growing up. Well that is true for many but not me. I believe that money is very important and I wish one day I will have lots of it so I can do somethings for myself and my family that my mom could not do for me, but I believe that the three things I want most in life are: Family, Friends, Love. I think that if you have those three things no matter how much money, power and respect you have, your life will be filled with happiness.
Now its story time........
So a couple weeks ago I went to see this movie called the bucket list. It was a very inspiring film that made me think about a lot of things in my life. Mostly it made me think about the things I just said prior to this story. The were two main characters in this movie. The one main character was a rich white man who had money, power and respect. The other was a black mechanic who did not have those things but had Family, Friends, and eventually love. If you were to compare the two men you would think that they were both happy to an extent and the only thing that was wrong in their lives was the life ending cancer that they both had. Well the white man had everything that he wanted and lived lavish in a huge house and could do whatever he wanted. But when he was in the hospital the only person to come visit him was his personal assistant who really was just working and not really visiting. The black man whoever had his son and wife both frequently visiting and that struck a cord with me. Here is this man who has everything but is not happy because he has no one to share his wealth with. The black man who does not have everything has the love of his family and friends which makes him happy. I finally realized what is important in this world.
So as I am having this life changing experience, I look over and see someone who I started to see in a different light. As the final scene is rolling like the tears that are rolling down her face, (she cries at everything supposedly), and as we are clutching hands I realize something. I realize that that feeling is what I want and what I need. I have been searching for that something that is missing in my life and I think, better yet I know thats what I want. I mean I have a lot of caring friends, and a loving family. I am liked by a lot of people and I have so much fun with my life. But sometimes you need something more. Sometimes you need to know that you are liked or loved by someone who is not just forced to, (family), and someone who loves you but its just weird, (friends). So as I am sitting there I notice that she is the girl that I could possibly see myself with someday. Like she is nice caring, respectful, pretty and funny. But then I realize that I can not have her. I realize that every girl that I seem to like either can't be with me because of outside sources or because of my past mistakes. I have tried to change as a person but its just those moments were I am voulnerable were I get myself in trouble. Like when I am drinking and I see people around me who like or love each other and I succome to that pressure and just want anything that I can get my hands on. Or when I am sober and I am sitting at home alone and want to be with the girl I want but I know that is just a dream and not reality and I just call anyone at that moment. You see, I want to be that guy that every girl dreams of. I want to be that guy that a girl looks at and says wow he is my boyfriend. I was that guy once and I do not think I will ever be that guy again. Life just does not really work out for the nice guys anymore and I realize that. Girls want some excitement and not that guy who is perfect and gives them everything and treats them perfectly. For some reason they want to fight they want a challenge they want to feel like they have to work for something. Well as I sat there and looked into her crying eyes I realized that I just do not want to be that guy. I am a nice guy who treats girls good and no one sees that bc I hide it behind all my macho bravado and jokes. Well thats a lie and if I want to get a girl like her I cannot act like that and I finally realize that. So to all you good guys out there and you know who I am talking to, (Tiffin 112), keep it up because one day we will realize what we really want and we will get it. Like they say all good things take time.....
Peace, Love, Accomplishment
