What's Eating Gilbert Grape

A 1993 film starring Johnny Depp that gave us two key concepts in life:
1.) Reasons for not getting fat.
B.) The boredom and malcontent most young adults feel between the ages of 18 and 24.
In "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," Gilbert (Johnny Depp) displays the extreme boredom of life one can find living in a post high school world in the rural Midwest.

life is what you make it

A cliche of debatable validity.

On one side, this phrase may be seen to be reassuring, allowing a person to accept the ills of their life, whatever those might be, with grace, knowing that with effort, or wisdom, those ills can be surmounted, or even changed into something positive.

On the other side, this meaning can be seen to be irrelevant; the phrase ultimately becomes empty, asking a person to acquiesce to, in the form of the acceptance of "the good with the bad", the ill of the modern world in any or all of its forms.

girl "That's what SHE said!"
boy "wait, who said it?"
girl "ur mom"
