The CC of BB

Watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button over the weekend and I can't remember the last time I cried over a movie. There was a particular scene that moved me so, and tears welled up in my eyes as I heard the words being narrated.

For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Sniff.

Little do we know, we are stronger than we think.

We are all engineered to hold on, even when we tell ourselves we no longer have the capacity to.

To quote a cynical DT, perhaps sometimes we're simply 'suckers for pain'.
