Love-Time-Death.

If you haven’t done it yet, try it. You don’t know how magical it is. It’s about connecting with the deepest part of yourself, with your feelings, your fears, and your longings.
Take some time for yourself. Write a letter to Love, Time, and Death, tell them about your wishes, your fears, and your concerns.
It’s amazing what you can discover in this simple act of connection with your soul. This idea came to me after watching a very moving film.
It’s a way of finding yourself.

I’ve always liked Will Smith; he’s an actor I’ve followed for a long time because of the kinds of movies he makes and the messages about life they carry.
From “Seven Pounds” to “The Pursuit of Happyness”, Will Smith is the best of actor who can bring you to tears with his incredible performances.
This film is one of the most emotional for me: Collateral Beauty.

It tells the story of Howard. He owns an advertising company in New York and falls into a deep depression after losing his young daughter, Olivia. He spends his time isolation, writing letters addressed to Love, Time, and Death, searching for answers to his immense grief.
His friends and business partners, worried about his mental health, are also afraid of losing the company they share.
They hire Sally, a private investigator, to find proof that Howard is not fit to run the business. That’s when they discover the letters.

His friends then decide to hire three actors to interpret those concepts, Love, Time, and Death, hoping they will confront Howard, make him reflect, and bring him back to life as normal.
Howard begins facing these three characters, voicing his pain about losing his little girl: why Death took her so soon, his hopelessness with Love, and the lack of Time to enjoy his daughter.

Howard joins a support group, where he meets Madeleine, who is also grieving the loss of her daughter to brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme).
They share a special connection, but Howard remains closed off in his pain.
Eventually, Love, Time, and Death help Howard begin to rebuild his life, and he opens himself up to Madeleine, giving love another chance.

That’s when she shares with him a deeply moving video of her late daughter playing with her father, who turns out to be Howard himself.
He breaks down upon realizing that he had completely erased his wife Madeleine from his life.

This beautiful story leaves a clear message about how the pain of losing a loved one can cloud your reason, disorient you, and drag you down.
And yet, life goes on, the wheel keeps turning around that immense pain. Even though it may seem impossible to accept such a great loss, we must move forward.
Life continues, it shakes you, and it forces you to wake up.
Even while going through grief, we need to find the bright side after tragedy.

Howard, in this film, teaches us that we can discover collateral beauty in the darkest moments of our lives.
