After watching “A Man Called Ove” I took the time to think about how I would be like once I became an elder. Will I be able to perform the things I take for granted such as walking, recalling memories, speak, read, and so many more. Would I be able to endure the pains that are yet to come in my life the same way Ove did? He had to endure the pain of losing the people I loved the most such as his dad, wife, and child. This movie truly opened my eyes and showed me that my youth will only happen once and I should take full advantage of it.

Endless possibilities
This post really made me think about making the most of my life now because I am never going to get this time back. I am going to start being much more cognizant of how I spend my time, and that I don’t waste any of it with nonsense and things that are really not important.
This post is one of my favorites on this film, because it made me think about something I don’t usually like to think about. I joke all the time about the climate change and how old age won’t get the chance, but I have to wonder now… would I have the strength of heart, the emotional resilience, to deal with the kinds of things Ove dealt with?
