Life is NOT a movie— It’s better! - Cosmicmessages [1]

Last night, my sister and I drove our separate ways. She went to spend the night at my “old” house that I moved out of just two days ago and I, continued driving to my new home.

I thought about how the parting of was was symbolic and thought, “This is sad.”

But when I tried to feel the truth of that statement, I only found happiness. I found joy and excitement at the thought of my new life and decided to choose a MY emotion instead of a programmed one.

It led me to an interesting thought, “What percentage of my thoughts and emotions are based on what I think I’m supposed to be thinking and feeling?” How much of it is actually genuine?

We watched TV shows and movies, see our family members and friends demonstrate exactly how to react in certain situations and we seek to emulate that. Why? Why must we react in the same way? When Anthony proposed to me just a few weeks ago, my initial reaction was complete shock. There was no romantic song playing in the back, we did not make out, he didn’t spin me around and dip me afterward. We cried, we laughed, we hugged and we drank a camomile tea afterward. 

That reaction was not what I would have anticipated based on the stories I had heard or the movies I watched. That reaction was based on me, on us and I wouldn’t change a thing. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined it to be. It was REAL.
