Long Story Short

In the end, Teddy realizes that the cycle of time he was trapped in was actually a gift rather than a curse. The strange woman who had given him the tin can told him that the chain of time was a blessing, not a punishment, meant to show him what his life could be if he cared more about living in the moment. Throughout the years, Teddy learned to appreciate the small things—like his relationships with Leanne and their daughter, his friendship with Sam, and his own life—something he had been too busy to notice before. When he finally finds the tin can and opens it on his tenth anniversary, he discovers their wedding ring inside, which symbolizes the love and memories they shared. As he kisses Leanne, the spell breaks, and he wakes up on the day of their wedding, with a newfound outlook on life. From that moment, Teddy vows to live fully, making meaningful choices and cherishing every minute. He begins to take responsible action, like checking on his health and helping others, understanding that life is precious and fleeting. In a final act of kindness, he decides to pass on the gift to his ex-girlfriend Becka, encouraging her to live a life without regrets. Ultimately, the cycle was a gift that taught Teddy to value the present, and by breaking it, he chooses to embrace a more meaningful, appreciative way of living.
