Everything I need to know, I learned from Benjamin Button

No not because Brad Pitt was extremely hot simply because this was one beautiful movie.

There were several quotes that just hit me straight to the heart and tears would just come out of my eyes. I’ve listed down several quotes that I really want to live by from hereon. As much as I want to expound on it with my personal experience, I think this time let’s just keep it a mystery (even if my life is such an open book).

We're meant to lose the people we love. How else are we supposed to know how important they are? – Sybil Wagner

Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss. – Benjamin Button

You can be mad as a mad dog at the way things went; you can swear and curse the fates - but when it comes to the end, you have to let go. – Benjamin Button

If you haven’t seen the film, I would really recommend you to have time and just see it. It offers you a brand new perspective on how to live your life each day. It somehow challenges you to be the best person you can be and to just let go of the anger, hatred and regrets in your heart. There are no perfect relationships. Some things last forever. There is a man who can fly.

I love it that this was the first movie I saw this year– and what Queenie would always say is hella applicable: “You never know what's comin' for ya.”. So 2009, surprise me. :)
