A Monster Calls

Have you seen the film called "A Monster Calls"?
You know ...
I never cried so much while watching anything, like I had today, when I was watching this film.
If you haven't seen it, I think that you should.
Yes.
It is sad, but the sadness is what makes it beautiful and ... powerful.

I loved the way "A Monster Calls" was filmed too. From the mise on scene, throughout the whole story line to the editing. Truly amazing.

And if you don't like being sad or watching dramas,
I think it is important to perceive these emotions that this film makes us feel. Because those emotions are experiences and experiences make us who we are.
They make us grown up and stronger everyday - sometimes by happiness, sometimes by sadness.
We should not think of The Bad or The Sad as things that we have to avoid. I truly believe that both sides of a coin, only together, make us humans, make us alive.
How can we be smart? How can we understand the world or ourselves if we only live for one side of the coin? Only both can make us smart to know what decisions we should make; and only both can allow us to change, to develop. How possibly could I by happy if I don't know how it is to be sad?


( I am not going to post a picture. I want you to be carious and have a look yourself )

I want to tell you a story. And it will start here. It is my desk and how it currently looks like. You know ... I am re-organising my room almost every week and it is very funny because I don't really like changes. It is not like I would complain, but it is safe, when things are like they used to be. Noting would surprise me or make me anxious. But sometimes I want something different. I want it so badly, it becomes painful. And the pain makes me think of other painful things and those - I think - come from depression. Because you know ... I was about eleven, when I first thought that I want to kill myself. ( requires the use of imagination )

I am not talking. I am not whispering or pretending. I just really want to keep quiet, because it is easier.  It always starts with the Need; the Urge to say, to speak and to scream about what there is inside. But every time it gets uncomfortable. It makes me feel frustrated with myself that I allowed my self to speak. It makes me feel that one word forces me to speak a whole book out loud and I really hate it. I don't want it. So what should I do? When I want to say something, but I want it to be short, to do not keep me tight, keep me imprisoned. I want it to be a whisper, a soft touch of a feather, to be as invisible as the air and strong enough to be heard. Have you heard me? Yet hidden behind anxiety and trust issues; i am waiting. Right here, where you do not know me. But use your imagination. I am very small. Almost invisible. Very quiet. So you need to be focused, you have to believe that I am existing for real. Because I am here and I am screaming.
