you love the sea

The problem with my life was that it was someone else's idea.

There are two reasons why people don’t talk about things; either it doesn’t mean anything to them, or it means everything.

A quick FYI for non pacific islanders for Moana

Even though you only know Hawaiians doesn’t mean she’s just Hawaiian, and yes, there are more islanders than just Hawaiians.

Her name isn’t Mo-wah-nuh, its Mo-AH-NAH. Honestly don’t even get me started on this one.

 Polynesian isn’t a language. Polynesia is a large group of islands that have their own distinct language, rich culture, and customs. There’s Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hawaii, Easter Islands, etc…

 Moana isn’t one race she’s everything mixed into one because there are too many cultures to just base her off of just one island.

Maui, as you might have guessed isn’t based off of just one legend either.

Maui’s “War Dance” is called the Haka and they do that dance to scare their enemies before battle.

Fun fact: Moana means Ocean

Please don’t group all of the Pacific Islanders and their cultures into one.

Another Fun fact: Pacific Islanders are some of the best navigators of the Ocean to have ever lived. There has even been evidence of them being the first to travel to America. sorry not sorry Columbus.

And last but not least, PLEASE LOVE MOANA AND GO AND WATCH IT IN ALL ITS GLORY

I like that feeling when you’re making art, that you’re taking the energy out of your body and putting it into a physical object. I like things that are labor-intensive: you make a little thing and another little thing and another little thing, and eventually you see a possibility.

You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure.

not everybody has been exposed to what you have, or has seen what you’ve seen or felt what you’ve felt. so their priorities and abilities are different from yours. that’s why you can’t compare their accomplishments or their journey to your own. you don’t see the mountains you’ve conquered as mountains because the view you’re seeing is skewed. you can’t always trust your own eyes when they’re looking at yourself. you can only strengthen your mind; tell yourself that you’re different and your battle is unique. remind yourself that you’re winning your fight just by surviving.
