It has been lazy weekend, though it seems like I write only when I’ve had a slow weekend ;). Although now my calendar is quite empty this spring, so it may be that I’ll write bit more, as there are no weekend plans in the near future (unfortunately).
Yesterday evening I watched a movie that was recommended to me, actually quite long time ago, but now I finally watched it. It’s called The Shawshank Redemption, movie about a guy who gets two life sentences in prison for two murders he didn’t commit. Have to say it wasn’t recommended for nothing, as it definitely was a very good movie. It gave me this uncomfortable feeling, and made me think how frustrating and mind numbing it would be when you don’t make any decisions of your life yourself, you need to ask a permission even for a toilet break. Then again I have to trust the justice system and believe that anyone who has ended up in prison, belongs there.
Even though you are not in a prison, sometimes you live your life like you would be in one. You let your comfort, shyness, money, or any other excuse to constrain you from things that could make your life more fun and exciting, satisfying. I do know it definitely is difficult to get out of your comfort zone, and seize the moment. You need courage and a need for something better. Some people may think about opportunity costs, what I will loose if I do this.
Sometimes I let my shyness to take the best of me. It’s not nice to have that constrain in my behaviour. Especially for such an outgoing person as I am. Although it is part of self-protectionism (so to say), if I don’t say anything then I won’t say anything stupid, and make ass out of myself. Though if you never make ass out of yourself then you never have fun stories to tell. Luckily I do have few stories to tell, but I want to have more! So I carry on building my courage and try to be the bravest girl on the block.
Another movie I watched this weekend was Crazy, Stupid, Love – a chick flick. Not so spectacular movie. 40 something years old couple divorce as they kind of grew apart and the wife cheated the husband. Of course the movie had a happy ending, but does 40 something couples have that kind of ending in their lives, if they end up in situation like that..? Some have, some haven’t and some just don’t realise, I suppose.
There’s a great weather outside, + 12 degrees and sunny. I think I’ll gotta take my running shoes for a little outing, and make plans how I’ll be brave tomorrow ;).
