That´s why we all loved Forrest

Press Play, feel the music and get ready to enjoy a little ride.

Overcoming

Did you get bully at the school?
Did you get your lunch stolen in the cafeteria?
Did you just get slapped on the face for no reason?
Did you feel alone in a crowd?
Did you feel sillier than your friends?

WELL, LOOK AT YOU NOW! YOU DEFFINETELY MADE IT.
You are reading this, sitting on a confortable chair, enjoying this beautiful music and when you think about your past, you feel this sense of victory decorated by a little smile of satisfaction. And do you know why?

Because you run, you fucking run and you left your fears behind.

I salute you my friend.

The first time you saw her

If you close your eyes, you still see her face. If you make a deep breath, it feels like you still can smell her. That was the first time you felt weak in your life. We all can relate to this moment. We all felt like Forrest did, we all remember feeling nervous because that beautiful girl looked at you for a second.

I feel that I already love her, I love her and I don´t even know her name.

Are you feeling the same way now? Be honest with yourself and don´t waste your time.

KEEP LOOKING FOR IT. It´s real.

Your first friend

I´m lucky because I still have contact with my childhood friends.
What is better than a true friendship?
No matter how big your problem is, you know that you can talk to them. You will get support from them with no judgments because real friendship doesn’t understand judgments.
Open your whatsapp and tell your friends that you love them. They will feel warm inside and happy. That love will make their heart bigger the same way as oxygen makes the lungs expand.

Uncorrupted love.

TELL THEM. IT´S NEVER ENOUGH

Know who you are

Forrest knew he was different.

You are not going to be a novel price winner or a NBA player. You already know who you are and you are just doing fine. Don´t have such high expectations. Instead of that, try to focus on enjoy your life more with your love ones. Why do you want to leave a mark on earth for people that never loved you?

What is success? Have a nice apartment on the top of a skyline with amazing views?
Success is your son looking at you with admiration and love. That´s all.

YOU ARE FINE THE WAY YOU ARE

Do what you feel like doing

Forrest always did what he felt like.

How many times we feel like this is not for us. We envied him because he always went for it. Looking at him was like releasing a part of us.
Why can´t I just run from this. This is stressing me out, I just feel like running right now, I´m feeling sad and I don´t want to feel this way. I need to do something.

Why can´t I just run?

ARE WE DOING THIS?

We need to smile

He knew it the same way as we know. The difference is that he actually behaved according to his believes and we usually don´t. We just get trapped by mediocrity and we let go with it, zero resistance.

Are you going to the shop on the corner and the man behind the desk is looking serious? Make a funny comment! Talk to him; try to get a smile from him. Be kind and wish him a good day. Smile as much as you can.

YOU THINK IT DOESN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
IT DOES. IT REALLY DOES.

Jenny

He loved her no matter what. He loved her so much.

She went away and he loved her. She came back and he loved her. She left again and he kept loving her and wishing her to be happy. He took care of her more than he took care of himself.
Seriously, can we love someone the same way he did?

That is so pure and at the same time, rare.

And that´s why we all loved Forrest. He knew what was important.
