(I didn't have Internet access at my grandma's house last night, but I decided to type up a post on Microsoft of the night anyways.)

Grandma and I just got done watching The Bucket List. It is the most amazing movie in the world. I love Morgan Freeman as an actor and as a person. I’ve always wanted to meet him in real life, because he is a total inspiration.
Although it sounds kind of weird, he reminds me a lot of myself. He is very optimistic in this movie, because he found the good in almost everything, including the fact that he will be dying in 6 months. I just love how he wants to make sure he has fully lived his life before he dies. The great part about him in the movie though was that he had already lived his life to the extent that he had always dreamed of. Sure he didn’t become a history professor like he dreamed of when he was in college, but he ended up having three kids and marrying the only woman he has ever been with. He found joy in his own life, and he gave joy into the lives of others.
I see myself as a Morgan Freeman to society. I try so hard to do the right thing, but I constantly get shut down by others. If I meet a person who is absolutely miserable, I try to comfort them and let them know that I am here for them. In my eyes, I have no enemies. There is not one person in this life who I entirely hate. Sure, there are a lot of people at school who I strongly dislike, but I would never say to the extent that I hate them. I've also had family in my life that have seriously let me down, to the point where I do not try and contact them anymore like I used to. I will not mention their names, and rarely ever talk about them. I don’t hate anybody. And I hope nobody hates me. If there is someone out there who thinks I am the epitome of a person, they should at least have the common courtesy to let me know what I have done. I like to know what mistakes I have made if I don’t obviously see them myself.

This song played at the conclusion of The Bucket List.
Watch this video and truly focus on the lyrics.
