Encanto really said your existence alone is a gift and valuable completely detached from what you can contribute to the world and just because you can carry a burden doesn't mean you should have to and I'm definitely crying over it

I think Diana Wynne Jones is underappreciated as a serious moral thinker for children and young adults.

Her work introduced me to concepts that:

a) often things were better for some *because* they were worse for others

b) the very things that bring people together (or more generally can be good and wonderful) can sometimes evolve to become the things that drive people apart.

I’ve now taken to referring to her as a moral philosopher because tbh, that’s exactly what she was.

my favourite thing about sophie (howls moving castle) is that she cleans with genuine passion and enjoyment and also genuine primordial rage

Anne with an E - Season 3 {insp.}

I’ve never bought into that “You Just Know” notion. Love is a tricky thing. Sometimes it feels like an undeniable force that hits between the eyes and doesn’t let up. Other times, it’s malleable, questionable. It’s truth hidden in and amongst external obstacles and internal circumstances that’ve formed who you are, what you expect in the world, and how you can accept love. Oh, to say the least, it’s complicated. And if a mind’s abuzz with pressure and deadlines and “What if this and that,” I imagine love’s truth would be a near-impossible thing to feel. I wonder if, when all’s quiet in your mind, you’ll find your answer.

It always has been, and always will be, you.
