Skimming Netflix I found this movie called the Last Laugh. It stars Richard Dreyfus and Chevy Chase, to people I loved to watch when I was a kid. It was about this guy who had walked away from doing comedy for 50 years and was ready to make a comeback. Now if you plan on watching it, I will just say I am going to give away a few things, but I won't spoil it for you.
These men were sent to a nursing home because one's son and the other's granddaughter, didn't want them to be alone. But in there, the only news they got was bad news. Someone broke a hip, or someone died. So what did they do? Lived. They got in a car and went on a comedy tour.
Now the comedian had lived, he was a pot smoking, still having semi sex and was happy. Where the other guy, was just used to working, he never lived. On this trip, he meets someone new, experiments with a few recreational drugs and does what he feels, he learns to live life for what it is.
Now, of course, there were the relatives who caught up with them and made a fuss about them being out there, but they didn't stop. They kept right on pushing to meet their goals.
To me this is life. The one guy got distracted from what he wanted in life but found his way to the path years later. In life, it's the same thing. We always compare our paths to someone else's. Here I am at 36, almost finished with my Bachelor's. It's not my first attempt. I tried a few times before, but it wasn't my path. We are meant to be doing what we are doing right now.
Everything in life is a lesson or a reason. Even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. I used to hate when people were telling me that because I didn't understand the real meaning, but now after surviving all that I have been through and being able to say I am 36. Many people didn't think I would make it here, including myself. But if I didn't I wouldn't have the knowledge to help others out the situation I used to be in.
So don't sit around waiting to die, learn to live and do all the things you want to do. You only get one life, and this is it.
