I ended up being in a Studio Ghibli mood all day yesterday. Some of it still hasn't worn off, I don't think. Within the time period in between getting work done and hanging out with friends, I ended up watching The Cat Returns, Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke (forgot how much the last movie made me squeam, not going to lie). With the notable exception of Princess Mononoke, those movies just made me...I dunno, fantasize again (not that Princess Mononoke didn't have a setting, but since it's more historical based with just that small twist of fantasy it doesn't lend itself as much).
Being a college student, I have learned that I have to face reality all of the time. There is so much that I have to take care of--my tuition payments, my classes and work, my family and friends--I kind of forget about myself some times when I am not doing things like this blog. I usually have to be so into the present that I forget it's okay to fantasize once in awhile.
Who says that our day dreams have to be limited to work time things and everyday matter? Who says we can't have pacifists and airships and magic in there? It's our day dreams, not the world's so why not? It could just be my inner animator talking, but really, I think I've needed to just let myself go for awhile and stop worrying about what everyone else would think.
I want to take that through with me this week.
