Life Sucks Then You Die, Right???

      

                                                                         Jenny: "Why are you so good to me?" 
                                                                         Forrest: "You're my girl!" 
                                                                         Jenny: "I'll always be your girl."


     This was my philosophy until today.  It literally was one thing after another that went incredibly well today.  Usually, I am the ultimate pessimist, just ask the people I hang out with (trust me, they know).  But I ultimately realized today that things are never as bad as we think they are.  For example, I realized that boys are a very simple species.  They don't want much, and they will say things to make it seem like they have a girl but in reality they don't.  Another thing, sometimes girls need to grow a pair and do the dirty work instead of leaving it up to the guy (I have serious mental blocks against this mentality but I'll get through it).  Also, we all have our security blankets, but sometimes, we need to loosen our grip or drop the blanket all together.  But you know what I love?  When one of your guy friends comes over to talk to you and then his friend(whom you like) tries to start an argument with him across the room, just to get your attention and then starts smiling/smirking at you.  And then there's that friend.  We all have one.  She randomly texts you encouraging you in your non-existent love life, saying funny things about the guy that are 100% true, and then tells you that you're pretty and that he's a fool not to have you.  Now if that doesn't make a vain person's day (ME) then I don't know what will.  
     Here is yet another reason why today was awesome: Forrest Gump.  Yeah, yeah. I know that doesn't seem like a reason but bear with me here.  Forrest Gump is one of my all-time favorite movies, and for my Spanish project I had to write a poem about an Oscar-winning film.  Obviously I picked Braveheart.  Haha. Just kidding there.  I picked Forrest Gump.  And as I was translating all of the Gump-isms into Spanish, I realized something.  This movie is so incredibly universal.  "I may not be a smart man...but I know what love is."  And ultimately, that's what it's all about.  It doesn't matter how smart we are or what kind of a person we are.  We are all capable of love and we all can feel it.  We may not be able to understand it at times, but we all can feel.  When all else fails, turn to God because God is love.

live life to its full potential, people :)
