Stories that shaped my Life
If there is one thing that really stuck on me is the move “The Truman Show.” To summarize, the movie is about a man born and raised on a 24/7 reality show and his whole life was just in a movie set. I watched this when I was a kid and I remember thinking “what if this is real and I am in a movie?” This made me really conscious on what I do and I always think that I need to act proper even when I am alone so that I won’t embarrass myself. Now I know for a fact that this is not real (or is it?), but me being conscious is something I have even now. Always wondering if that person is looking at me and/or saying something about me. On the good side though, I became more aware on my surroundings and I rarely trip or be in an accident because I tend to analyze things first before acting.
Another thing that really had an impact in my life are my friends who really inspired me to workout and keep my body healthy. When I there was even a time in high school where we exercise in between breaks of our classes so that we could all check our progress and on how much we can do. I have friends who joins me when I am in the gym, and it really helps to have someone around as I don’t get tired easily compared to when I do it alone. I admit that right now I have been slacking off and I am really not that active but I can really feel the difference when I take care of my body and I am happy about that because it gives me a boost of positive energy everyday.
The prodigal son is probably one of the most impactful stories in my life. What I picked up from the story is to accept my mistakes and don’t dig an even deeper grave for yourself, another this is to not be jealous to others. It helps me be a better person as I learn what I lack and what to improve on. I also learned to accept and use the things that I have instead on wasting my time pouting on something I don’t have making myself more productive.
If my life was made into a movie.
I’d probably have the tile of the movie as “Come and Go”
I am bad at keeping my friends, it is easy for me to make friends as I am accepting and I don’t usually judge people. Especially when I don’t meet them in person for a long time, I am terrible at starting a conversation only even if I really want to.
To sum up my whole movie, since I people in my life come and go, I tend to be part in very different circles that I have tried tons of things. I have friends who were interested in movies and tv series and I got hooked up in films as well. I have friends who are very active and even travel in our bikes to promote as what we call it “healthy living.” I have friends who are very studious who keeps me up on my toes during exams and other school activities. I also have friends who are “wild” and I learn many things and meet new friends while drinking.
I will say that it is very fun that I met this many amazing people and I just wish I could be close to them and not be just strangers in this world.
