a meaning of life to ME...

I watched the movie "CLICK" and I cant help but cry,, ok let’s face it,, I cry easy, cant help it I guess I am born this way. Anyway what I love about this movie is it’s very factual. Most of the time we tend to ignore or neglect the ones we love, a significant day or moment, food, air, or just basic stuff coz we feel it will always be there. We usually don’t noticed how things changed and when we do, sad but true, it is always at the last minute when there is no longer other way but to accept the sad truth. The movie makes me miss my mom, at times I wish I have the power to stop the hand of time and just spend lots of time with her, just like the way I am when I was a kid, let her feel that im there and will never grow sit right next to her and just hold her hand. I know most people see her differently and I cant blame them coz what they see is real… but in a loving heart,, you can go deeper than what meets the eye… see the roots why she becomes like that, why she do things the way she do and a lot of why’s that she can only explain to herself but in my humble heart I do understand her and still love her the way she is and will always will. Most of us take things for granted,, and I for one used to be like this until I reached a tragic that changed my life and my views regarding life and love. I am more aware now that we have to value what we have and live our lives in a manner that there wil be no tomorrow. When he died, I felt for the first time regret,, I never do… but I did that time,,, there are so many things that I wanna say, I want him to feel, I want to know him better, I want to say I love him too and that he is wrong that I don’t feel the same way,, that there is no need for him to cry no more… There are so many what if’s left unsaid and done,,, I cried so much… since then I told myself I will treasure whatever I have and will let the one I love know and truly feel that I love them,,, without hesitations,, without me expecting anything in return… just me purely giving whatever I can coz I want to,, coz I love to.. Coz I know I may not be there for long or they may not be there for long… As I lay in bed, I think of how I live my life for a day,, if I tell my man that I love him so much,, that I message my mom and say I love her, sms my sister goodnight, hug and kiss my dog who always look at me intently and just love to smooch me all the time… I feel bless for whatever I have, I honestly don’t want to miss a thing,, I wanna enjoy whatever is in there coz it may not be there tomorrow. The movie touches me in a way that I cry longer than normal… it is so true,,, it is something that is very real but we don’t realized most of it not unless we are bumped by it then we think about it and then go back to our normal selves again… When was the last time you say “I LOVE YOU” to someone who means so much to you? When was the last time you hug someone? When was the last time you really listen, I mean really listening…, to someone when they want to talk to you? When was the last time you talk to your kids, husband, friend, parents, love ones? When was the last time you sit and just enjoy the beauty of nature? The senses that you have? The small things that you have that you often take for granted? There are so many things that you can really do,, that brings so much happiness to yourself and to others… Life is not all about money or how much you have… It is more about… WHAT YOU ARE…

Although I have not watched the movie that you mentioned, I am so agree with your words. We are spending too much time on chasing, but not spend time on enjoying them, freindship, love and all other things. When I am alone, I always think a lot, the things that I want to do but never done, the things that I was not mean to do but done, and even the things I am willing to do but can not do... all the things. And I think if give person a paper and a pen and ask him/her to write down all things that they regret for, I am afraid the list must be very long. Anyway, I will watch that moive and willing to moved by it.

hello sissi320, thanks for the response and welcome to mylot as well! i hope you like the movie once you watched it i know we all see something differently and you may not agree with how i feel when you see it or you may, i dont know but i hope i did not give a wrong movie then LOL anyway, i guess that time i am having so many issues in my family and then i see it and it reminds me of my life and how it seems to fly by without me noticing so much of it. like you, i do a lot of thinking as well and there are so many stuff that i wish i did then but i didnt and it feels too late on my part. i wish i can always remind myself though so at least i can tell at the end of the day that i did what i can and i try my best to make it happen. im sure, if we all gather and write things down in a paper an hour or two will not be enough to do all the reflection in our life and we will end up spending day and night then. anyway, i hope you like it and hope you keep me posted on what you think about it then. takecare and have a good one!

At first, I really thought that this movie was just another comedy flick by Adam Sandler. But I was wrong, I never really thought that it would make me cry and feel the thought of this movie. I can truly relate to this, since I always believe that family should always comes first beyond everything else. I could never forget that quote of his that he told to his son when he was about to die, "Family, family.. Family comes first."
