Everyday is Another Chance

Not all stories have the great endings we all hope for. The boy doesn't always have the great epiphany that he loves the girl. He doesn't jump out of a cab that's stuck in traffic, and start racing down the street to catch her at a party to admit his undying love to her. These things only happen in the movies. In real life, you tell your roommate "you love him". He has little to no reaction. Life continues as it always has. As if nothing was even said, as though your words meant nothing to him, because they didn't. Because, he loves you, just not like that.

Then one day he says he's moving. This is the big ending to the "movie" or your life. His big goodbye is when he jiggles you in your sleep, and tells you goodbye and he'll call you soon. Then what really happens is four months go by, and few awkward call that only make you feel like shit. Soon you have to move. But he's not calling. Now you have a house full of his stuff and your stuff, and you have to move it all alone. His final goodbye is a middle finger! Like I said, Not all stories have great endings.

But the thing we forget is, this is actually where the real movie begins. That's what I'm grateful for in life, everyday is another chance to start over. While everything you hoped for may not work out, there's always going to be something else. It's like the saying, when one door closes, another opens.

And while life didn't turn out the way I thought it would, I'm far happier with the way it's turning out. Life is what you make it, make it kick ass!
