What Could Life Be Like...?

I think that there are so many different analogies for what life could be like that it is insanely hard to pick one. We all know the famous saying by Forrest Gump “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”, then there are the sayings that life is like a rollercoaster, life is life a swing, and so on and so forth. All of which are true. Life is like a lot of things. There are so many different ways that life could go wrong or life could go right, there are so many ups and downs along the way, and there are a lot of situations that come by that people just don’t know how to handle. So how do we make the distinction? How do we know what life is really like? I don’t think we can. We all live our lives one day at a time, one moment at a time. Some of us like the live in the future or live in the past but when it comes down to it we have nothing but the here and now. If we don’t live everyday for what it is then who is to say that we will have tomorrow. There are even reference to this in the Bible, don’t put off something for tomorrow if you could do it today.
I think that all of these analogies are true. Life is really like a box of chocolates and you never really do know what you are going to get, life is also like a rollercoaster there are so many ups and downs and most of the time they catch you off guard. The key is to live for each moment because you really don’t know if you are going to get another moment to do the things you want. If you love someone tell them, if you want to do something do it, if you want to say something say it. Too many of us too often live our lives in fear and that fear is eventually going to be our downfall. Would you rather wake up the morning of your last day thinking “I wish I would have…” or would you rather wake up on that day thinking “I am so glad that I did…”? I think that everyone should live like there is no tomorrow because tomorrow is not guaranteed to us, the only thing that we really have is now and what we choose to do with it.
