Tom Hanks And Bill Murray Are #LifeGoals

We should all want to be as happy and beloved at them when I'm their age.

Tom Hanks And Bill Murray Are #LifeGoals
Wikipedia

Imagine you just got married. You and your significant other are all dressed up and doing a photo shoot. You're in a public park, so people are bound to be walking by. One guy in particular comes walking past, but instead of passing through and letting you continue on with your photo shoot, he walks right up to you, takes off his hat and says, "Hi, I'm Tom Hanks." One lucky couple in New York City had just this experience. Mr. Hanks then took a selfie with the couple and posted it to his social media accounts, complete with a congratulatory message for the newlyweds:

Elizabeth and Ryan! Congrats and blessings! Hanx. pic.twitter.com/Uy2GIqYphU

Perhaps even more famous than Tom Hanks and his propensity for impromptu photo shoots is the legendary Bill Murray.

Bill Murray has reached mythical heights in his later life through his habit of crashing parties (and offering sagely advice), taking up bartending on the fly (to serve people tequila shots regardless of what they order), perfecting the art of golf apparel.

Tom Hanks and Bill Murray are easily two of the most iconic actors to ever grace us with their existence, and the reputations that they've gained as wayward event crashers are certainly well-deserved. That is why the lives of these two legends are the ultimate #LifeGoals.

Think about it. How great it must be to have lived a successful enough life that you're set to retire at a reasonable age (Tom Hanks is 60, and Bill Murray is 66), and yet still have a job that you love enough to keep on doing for however long you wish. How great it must be to be so beloved that you can go anywhere and do anything, like crash a private party or walk right up on a couple's photo shoot, and be welcomed with the warmest of embraces.

That is the kind of life to which we should all aspire, and it isn't as much a reach as we all think it is. It doesn't take the kind of international acclaim that Bill Murray and Tom Hanks have garnered to have this kind of life.

(Don't listen to him.) You don't have to be rich or famous to be somebody that everybody wants to have around late into life. You don't have to be an irreverent actor to have a job you love. You just have to have the kind of approach to life that Bill Murray and Tom Hanks have shown that the human spirit is entirely capable of taking, and some day you'll find yourself crashing peoples' parties and photoshoots without issue.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
