.......
I recently watched the movie Encantó again
You know, the musical animation of the girl who had no power in a family where everyone had powers
And then I reached the part of the man who brought the fireworks and who said that he brought a set just for her and called it "the not so special"
For the not so special kid in the family
The end of the movie was happy though
because they said she found out that she was a star beyond any gift
But then I started to think
What happens next beyond the "end" we're shown?
She goes back to being asked "whats your gift" by the children as she sings about the gift of the amazing family she has?
Or she goes back to arranging and setting the tables of her family everyday because well, the people with gifts are helping the town
Or she goes back to living in her room that is no special at all,
Just like her
And many more questions concerning Mirabel ran through my mind.
Because no matter how happy you want to be, what makes you "not special" will always be there
And in a case like Mirabel's, it can't be changed
You just look for a way to convince yourself that
"Me not having any power is what makes me better"
But is that really it??
You still go back to living your "not so special life"
But this time, with a smile on your face.
And when it gets overwhelming, what do you then do?
Sing?
Expect things to miraculously get better by hugging your problems out?
Or what else?
Because right now, I think I'm Mirabel
And I really need her help.
