Hey everyone! I just finished reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom after putting the book on hold for 2 months.I must say that the book really put different emotions into you while you read it.I'll tell you all something,I even cried while reading it.
"Albom has the ability to make you cry in spite of yourself." -Boston Globe
And I thought I'd never cry reading the book.
The character in the book learns life lessons after his passing.He never really appreciated life when a war injury robbed him of his abilities to do so many things he thought of doing when he was younger.When you read this book,you'll learn to appreciate more things you have in life.Sometimes we get sick and tired of life because we're repeating the same routine over and over everyday but we never really see the fine print of it all and appreciate it.
This book will really teach you life lessons you will remember your whole life.
Other than that,watching One Tree Hill has taught me lessons I will never forget as well.I think its better than the drama of love Gossip Girls have.No offense to Gossip Girls fans though.One Tree Hill really relates to all of us as teenagers and when you continue watching,as the characters leave high school and go their separate ways you will feel the same way because some of us have experienced it and we will all experience it after Form 5 as well.
Their lives after college change so much and the episodes will teach you why keeping in touch with old friends is important.They also experience passings of their loved ones and friends as well.
It really hurts when you don't keep in touch and one day you wake up everything is different because you don't know where that person is.And sometimes when one person is lost,you feel differently.Imagine staring blankly at places where that person always is and you think about them with the memories of them instilled in your mind.The moments you know will never be forgotten.People may not understand it because it is only you and your friend who sees this in your eyes.But you have to carry on with life without them.The only thing to do is keep them in your memories.
And to everyone reading this,
even if you're not with me,I'm with you.
P.S. Do this more in your life from now on....APPRECIATE others and the little things you overlook everyday in your lives.They'll mean alot as time passes.
Per l'amaro e il dolce
For the bitter and the sweet.
By,yours truly.
