Don't Give Up

You just keep going right? Even when you've given up on the very thought of hope. Pull yourself back together take one last look back and try to move forward. Learn from it the best you can and try to forget the rest. Reminding yourself it's just a moment in time, it's just a part of life, it's going to pass. Nothing last forever.

Try and pretend like it didn't hurt, pretend like it never did. Try to fool all around you including yourself. When you start to slip, keep telling yourself to get a grip, just get a better grip.

It can be hard to change a mindset after it has become your defense mechanism, your second nature, your way to cope.

But it's not impossible. It takes time and all your efforts.

When life is full of confusion who do you look to for guidance? Where can you find an outstretched hand to help you when you have fallen? Sometimes you can’t see it but there are people all around you that care and want to help. Don’t push them away. It may be an instinct but it’s not healthy or right.

Your instincts may save you in the wild but this isn't the wild. This is society. You find your place and you play your part is what is implied. You will find a place where you are truly happy. It may take a long time or it may not. Just keep believing in yourself and never stop. It may be hard work but it will be worth it.

I'm so thankful and appreciative for those who have not given up on me despite my short comings, my faults, and flaws. For believing in me when I could not believe in myself, when I could not love myself. When I am blind and unable to feel.

Big Hero 6

So last night was kinda a movie night. Mom and I just vegged out on the couch after our supper of chicken and rice. We watched Focus with Will Smith and Big Hero 6. I had a bowl of chocolate ice cream in place of popcorn.

When I watched Big Hero 6 I was expecting it to kinda suck because let’s face it some of the newer kids movies are a bit cliché. To my surprise it was pretty good. I felt bad for the main character his name is Heiro. His parents died when he was three years old so he lives with his aunt and his brother. His aunt owns a café shop and his brother goes to a nerd school.

Heiro is bot fighting which is both popular and illegal. Heiros big brother wants him to use his big brain for something good, something better than bot fighting. So he brings him to his nerd school and enlightens him. He works really hard to invent these micro-bots to get into the school. Everyone there is amazed by his invention someone tries to buy it off him but he says no, because it takes time to perfect an invention.

There is a huge fire that happens in the building. Heiro’s brother rushes in to save the professor saying “someone has to help”. The explosion kills Heiro’s brother leaving him with nothing but his belongings.

Heiro later finds his brothers invention of a health care robot. This starts a great adventure to find and stop the person that stole his micro-bots.

I really like this movie because it shows him dealing with his grief and slowly overcoming it. It shows him becoming a better and wiser person. That he values what his brother believed in and how to honor that. That revenge doesn’t solve anything.
