Spirited Away is one of my favorite movies.
There’s something fulfilling in the void between dream and reality. Something intangible, yet familiar.
Maybe it takes an animated format to bring the "unreal" reality within to life. Animated, a word that even means to bring to life.
The fictional awakens the truth in the same way that silence can speak louder than words.
The dream awakens us.
That blogging prompt came my way. A question that's easy to answer in my case:
To stop thinking so much about things that don't really matter.
There are few days that I don't ponder completely unimportant things, like the choice of blogging platform, which language I should write in, or whether I should use Apple or Google services.
A pointless waste of both time and energy.
So why do I do it? I honestly don't know. My best theory, if I try to be my own psychologist, is that it has to do with identity. "This is who I am."
If that's true, it's a really bad idea. A fragile sense of belonging that can crumble at any moment. An existence where insecurity and anxiety are constant companions.
I know all this – and yet I continue. Although I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, it would be a good idea to promise myself to do better on this subject in 2025.
