How a 4 Minute Clip Explains Life…Perfectly
Marriage. Buy a home. Renovating the home, together. Moving in. Making it yours. Having a vision and seeing it come true. Have moments to bond over.
Starting a family. Getting pregnant to then have your baby miscarry. The sorrow that brings. The darkness you and your spouse live in. Finding enthusiasm after that and working for the next goal, together. But life happens, so you need the money you’ve been hard at work saving. A car repair, an accident, medical bills and a big storm. The cycle repeats. You take a job you don’t like to survive.
Than you look in the mirror and you’re much older than you remember, or at least stop to notice. The love is still there with your spouse, but life just carries on and you don’t notice all that your missing. Just keeping up is enough, right?!
But then you get reminded of who you were and what you’ve become. So you get inspired and get a second wind. You get creative and plan a special event with, or rather, for your spouse. But something happens, they end up in the hospital and the plans you’ve set to create, just can’t work now. You remain hopeful and patient. Life has virtually passed you by. You’re in the hospital at the bedside of your spouse. The love still there. Before you know it, your spouse has graduated to heaven. They leave this world for the next.
The love, still there. The only constant we want. The other constants have always remained; like time escaping us and aging. There you are, alone. In the home you and your spouse built.
Here it comes, the moment. Where you have nothing to live for or no one else to live with so you decide to take a chance…..
This is the moment in UP, the PIXAR Movie. Up was conceived in 2004 by director Pete Docter. He developed the fantasy of a flying house on the idea of escaping from life when it becomes too irritating, which stemmed from his difficulty with social situations growing up.
Don’t wait until you’re old to take a chance. To pursue something. To live your life. The obstacles in life will happen. Things will not go our way. That is exactly why living is such an amazing experience.
