Random Thought of The Day:
Whenever I need guidance, some random family movie is brought to me, becomes my hyperfixation, and eventually, the message behind it is practically embedded in me.
Don't believe me?
Mid-pandemic, A Goofy Movie taught me to embrace what I love and who I am, even if it embarrasses me.
Today, the embracing myself part is still a HUGE hurdle, but what I love is practically the foundation of my personality.
Post-pandemic, The Bad Guys-- despite it being DreamWorks' test run for their new animation style, has managed to teach me that I'm more than what modern life says I am-- including myself-- and that change starts with doing something small.
Today, I wrestle with snowballing small changes into bigger habits without pressure, but at least I'm not a boot-licking people-pleaser.
And finally, this year. Enter Spider-Man: Brand New Day. What I got from that movie is that adaptability starts with a strong foundation. Self-accountability is a great starting point, but interpersonal connection is where that foundation really is.
All three movies have some kind of focus on family and it's many forms. And due to self-loathing and isolation, I'm in a similar position to Peter, including the bad habits. My next step is to fix that.
I don't know what I'm trying to say, but I do know-- it's amazing what some "dumb movie" and a little bit of self-awareness can say.
