I'll be OK

Yesterday I was watching the movie "The Perfect Storm" in HBO/Star Movies (I don't remember which one) after watching the movie "Just my Luck" again in HBO/Star Movies. I liked both of them. Even though the genre was different in both, they seemed to convey almost similar messages or at least I wanted to see it that way :).

Personally, I am going through a very rough patch and I am right in the middle of a Storm and my luck is running out of my hand and I hardly have any control over the events of my life. I was just wondering if this was coincidental that I happened to watch these movies back to back on the same day or was it just my luck ;).

I had already seen the movie 'The Perfect Storm', but it was long time ago and I had forgotten the plot completely and particularly how it would end. So I had no other option than to complete the movie yesterday night. How ironical it was that it reflected my life (or for that matter any human life), where I am facing a huge storm, which I wouldn't have believed in my whole life that I would ever come across, and I decided to go through it and am now stuck in between and waiting for a single ray of light to tell me that I am going to pass through it successfully.

But when I completed the movie, I thought, well it doesn't matter if I am going to end up successfully on the other side of the storm, or perish fighting it (as it happens in the movie), but my efforts would be worth either way. And that matters a lot to me. If the fishing crew in the movie somehow had succeeded the storm and came out of it alive, then it would have been much refreshing personally (I always like happy endings :) ), but that wouldn't have had me thinking because that would have been an ideal ending. But when they couldn't cross the storm and had to give up fighting coz the storm was too huge for them, that is when it made me think that may be I might be in the same situation in a few weeks/months from now on. But who cares. As long as I am ready to stick it out till the end and face it bravely, I would have won.

Similarly, 'Just my Luck' was another cute movie which I happened to see yesterday. I am no fan of such romantic comedy movies, but I like Lindsay Lohan so I watched it for her. The movie made me feel so nice that I have decided to feel better even on a very bad day. It will be just another day which was not that good, that is it and it would eventually pass. And when you think that you are out of luck, you should think again, becoz may be there is something hidden in these events to either make you a better person or give you something better than what you are expecting.

I should be feeling very lucky actually that I have got good people around me who are there to help me out in time of need and particularly when I need them the most and that includes my family and friends without a doubt.

I am going to end this post with the lyrics of the song I liked from 'Just my luck' (got from the internet)

When everything is going wrong
And things are just a little strange
It's been so long now
You've forgotten how to smile.
And overhead the skies are clear
But it still seems to rain on you,
And your only friends all have
Better things to do.

When your down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When your down and lost
Along the way
Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK

Now things are only getting worse
And you need someone to take the blame
When your lover's gone
There's no-one to share the pain
Your sleeping with the TV on
And your lying in an empty bed
All the alcohol in the world
Could never help me to forget

When your down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When your down and lost
Along the way,
Just try a little harder
Try your best to make it
Through the day,
Oh just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK

You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone

Just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
Won't you tell yourself

When your down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When your down and lost
Along the way,
Try a little harder
Try your best to make it
Through the day

Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
I, I'll be OK
I, I'll be OK
