Chocolate Inspiration (recap)

you know how forrest gump said "life is like a box of chocolates"

he wasn't lying

here i sit with a newly opened box of see's chocolates. and i realize... 
i have no idea wth to eat. 
there is no way of determining what each piece of chocolate contains. 
do they assume i like everything? 
do they want me to take a bite out of everything until i find one i like? 
thats a waste of chocolate

i reached for my first piece of chocolate. i wanted something along the lines of cherry or raspberry or something. i got coffee... god knows i didn't like it, but i ate it anyway. my second piece was... CHERRY. hurray.
sometimes in life, you gotta take risks in order to feel alive, accepting any consequences which may follow. sure, sometimes its a bad outcome, but you learn from these. 
(i know which ones to eat now...)

in life, you never know what will happen. so many turns to take, so many forks in the road, who knows where we'll end up. sometimes we're able to scream out in rejoice, and sometimes we may just want to hide and escape reality. but as we go through life, we'll encounter numerous obstacles. a lot of curve balls to confuse us, a lot of unexpected news. we just have to learn to get over them. 

who knew a box of assorted chocolates could exemplify life. 


in times of crisis or hardship, it may feel like there are no more options left. no where to run and hide. but never forget, you can always reach for another piece of chocolate. there is always a glimmer of hope, you just have to find it. 
usually, you can turn to your close friends and relatives. the people who will always be there for you, no matter what. even if you messed up horridly, even if you've been too scared to tell anyone. they'll listen. the people who will always support you in your decisions. the people who want nothing for you but a good future. 

ok, maybe im veering off of the subject of chocolate and life, but my itunes seems to be playing songs in an order which somewhat.. relate. 

i guess tom hanks was right, you never know what you're going to get. but when you get something, the only thing to do is live.
no regrets.

kudos~
