A reminder:

A reminder.

Swiss Army Man.

A strangely beautiful movie.

A reminder to be silly.

To fart when you feel like it.

To look for friends.

To show up for your friends even when they’re down.

To show people you care about them.

To be a shoulder to cry on or someone to make them laugh.


To persist even in the face of failure.

To enjoy the little things.

To not let society’s rules stop you.

To not let people you like pass you by.

To not left words go unsaid.

To communicate your feelings with those you love, even when it’s hard.

To have things to look forward to.

To stay on the path even when things get hard.

To put one foot in front of the other while singing along.

To let love guide you.

To have fun every step of the way.

To be your authentic self.

Got some great reminders from this movie.

Watch it.
