Remember me.

I’m weird… I’m not amongst those girls that love Dirty Dancing’s Nobody puts baby in the corner…although I do love a little cheese, would you really say that? Especially to her father! And before you say it, I am aware that that’s the point, pushing the boundaries and what not but it just doesn’t do it for me. I’m one of those odd people that to sway towards Casa Blanca’s of all the Gin Joints in all the world. And no, I’m not just naming Fall Out Boy songs…

My point is, Of all the gin joints has such a deep meaning, it knocks on the door of fate and pulls at viewers heart strings and it stuck in my head for that reason. But, I feel I’m slightly off topic at this point. I was sat staring into nothing earlier, and I found myself thinking about what Ghandi said

‘Everything you do in life will be insignificant, but it’s important that you do it anyway.’

No, I don’t memorise Ghandi quotes, in fact this was on a film: Remember me. I have only seen this film once and it was over a year ago now, and yet this quote still sticks in my mind because it’s so empowering. The fact is, people like you and me won’t be in history text books and we sure as heck aren’t spread across the pages of heat magazine, which makes us – to anybody else – insignificant. We’re just a number, a face, an action. So, why is it important we should ‘do it anyway’? Because to anybody we may be insignificant, but to particular people we mean the world. Think of your grandparents, I know that I love hearing about their lives, how they met etc. Why? Because that’s significant to me, that pin point in time of how they met, changed my life forever… would I really be who I am if they hadn’t bothered? Would I even be here at all? And there you have it… all that from one tiny moment in a film- it goes round in circles. If the director had decided to cut that quote would I be hear now thinking of the significance of it and what it means to me? No. So maybe to some everything you do in life will be insignificant, but to others it’ll mean their existence.

Keep Dreaming xoxo
