    Think about Life

    Here's a Random thought that crossed my mind these few days.
    Think about it.

    Even if, like me, you've only lived life for seventeen years. I used to watch this movie called Forrest Gump. The guy in the movie keeps saying how life is like a box of chocolates, and you never know what you'll get. Even I know boxes of chocolates have those diagrams on the bottom that shows you whats inside.

    No. Life isn't like that at all. You want to know what life is like? You ever see a road map of the United States of America? That's life. It's a thousand possible roads, all of them somehow connected to each other. Some roads take you places where you can roll down the window, let the music blast, and drive forever free; some roads lead you to places thought you'd never be.

    Sometimes, there would be this one road out of this place, and it's the road you cannot take. Instead, all you can do, like me, is open up the map in your head, run your finger backward from this place to the place before and the place before that, and think about the roads that got us there. It is the roads we take, and the choices we make, that brings us to these places.

    Think about it.
    A good book told me this, and it's worth relating back.

    Have a good day.

    Hey! I liked your analogy of what life would be like. Seriously, the whole road thing is a good example. A box of chocolates would be a bit too sweet for what it life, really.
    Anyway, just wanted to drop you a comment. Hope you follow the right road. =D Greetings.
