Why Can't Life Be Like Disney Movies
Why can't life be like a Disney movie? Or even a good '80s movie? Why can't I fly away with Peter Pan off to Neverland? Or sit in a circle with a Jock, a Basket Case, a Princess, a Nerd and a Criminal talking about how much life can suck, but still find love within that circle? Whether that is an intimate relationship, or developing a friendship, why can't our everyday lives be like these wonderful movies?
Well one, because they are just fairytales. Unfortunately, these movies that have had such a huge impact on many people. Throughout many generations, have been completely made up by writers, producers, directors, and Walt Disney himself. Cruel I know, but maybe we are just seeing life differently than these people. No kids, I don't mean fall through the roof in your library, blare awesome '80s music, and smoke something illegal, while at Saturday morning detention. That is pretty unrealistic as it is, but maybe we just aren't seeing the right light of things.
Do you remember that movie "Enchanted?" The one where Amy Adams was trying to find Prince Charming, but Prince Charming's evil step mother sent her to real life New York City? Her attitude never wavered. She still was bound and determined to find true love. So here's my question: Why can't people now just be positive about the way their lives are going? Most people would answer, "because it's just not that easy."
Here's the secret, it is that easy! So what if you aren't as wealthy as you want? So what if, because of that, you cant afford to go shopping, or get your nails done, or buy your favorite bottle of wine? So what if your boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with you and you're "devastated" because you thought you loved each other? So what if the mansion you live in is actually a one-bedroom apartment, and you live there with your four cats? So what?! Although, Amy Adams had the "so what" attitude in this family fun movie; do not go around your town, city, school, or work singing loudly for everyone to hear. This is not "Enchanted," or "The Elf," or "Mama Mia. "People will look at you strange, and you'll probably be escorted to the nearest door. If you don't care, more power to you. You get the picture, right?
Walt Disney, John Hughes, Tim Burton and, so many others who made great films had their own way of saying "so what." They had their own way of seeing life in its glory. So instead of asking, "why can't my life be different?" ask your self this "how can I change the outcome?" What are you going to do to make your life the way you want it. In reality happiness is a choice, you have to decide to make yourself happy.
So forget about the people who hurt you, forget about your money or the lack of, because you have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy about anything else in your life. No, your life will never be like a Disney movie, or like "The Breakfast Club." It can, however, be better than one. With that advice, I'm not saying to be bitter toward those who just plain treat you like crap. I'm not saying go live off the street, or the government, or forget about having a job. I'm also not saying stop watching these fairytale movies, because, lets be honest, no one ever just gives up Disney. I'm saying change your state of mind, happiness can always be found within.
"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." -Albus Dumbledore
(Yes I just quoted a fictional character from "Harry Potter," and I'm proud of that.)
