The Mental Toys: Intended for larger things

'My muscles couldn't keep up with my bones, and my bones couldn't keep up with my body's ambition. So I spent the better part of three years confined to my bed, with the World Book Encyclopedia being my only means of exploration. I had made it all the way to the "g's," hoping to find an answer to my gigantification, when I uncovered an article about the common goldfish.

"Kept in a small bowl, the goldfish will remain small. With more space, the fish can grow double, triple, or quadruple its size."

'It occured to me then, that perhaps the reason for my growth was that I was intended for larger things. After all, a giant man can't have an ordinary-sized life.'

- From Big Fish. The most inspirational movie, in an entertaining way.

Intended for larger things.
Ordinary-sized life.

And I wish that were true.
