Random Rantings
Something I’ve kept thinking lately is that life is like a movie—we’re not writing the script so much as watching to see where it goes. There are so many unanswered questions—what is the point of this movie? Will the protagonist achieve her goals? What are the protagonist’s goals, anyways? Does she know what she’s doing? Which relationships are important? Which ones will grow? Which ones will fail? What lies ahead?
Most of the movie’s plotline is shocking and completely unpredictable. I have little control over it. I have a duty to live my own life, but I can only see where I am now; the future is completely invisible and unknown.
I’m thinking about this movie while reading through my old notebooks. Reading this shit is seriously like reading a dramatic teen angst novel. Some of the stuff I’ve written makes me happy, some makes me disgusted with myself, some even makes me cry.
And I’ve got to acknowledge that life is totally arbitrary. There’s no pattern to it. There’s no exact right way to go about doing it.
I find a lot of comfort in acknowledging that I don't know much. There's a lot in life to be surprised by; I think it's great to know that the movie doesn't stop taking twists and turns. Eventually, it should lead to a happy ending.

Man, this got my brain going. Like one of those "what if reality isn't how we perceive it" type thing. but it's well put. We don't have much control. Just sit back and watch the film 8)
