Childhood and how it might inspire you.

I've been spending my holiday by watching movies. Be it in cinema, TV, or my laptop. Lately I've been inspired to re-watch the movies in my teenage years. I love how I used to wake up to watch Disney Channel, waiting for Lizzie McGuire, Suite life of Zack & Cody, Hannah Montana, Wizard of Waverly Place, etc.

I love how I used to watch teen flicks at sleepovers, or just watching it because it's on HBO. I miss watching these movies so I've been watching a lot of teen flicks lately.

What I love about teen movies is how they make things become so simple.. The typical storyline: a girl that wants to be superstar(actress, singer, dancer, etc), a girl who wants to find a perfect guy, a girl whose life suddenly changed e.g a rich girl who became poor or was put in somewhere else etc. The storyline is so simple and easy to understand. Although some stories seems to be impossible to happen in this world (too exaggerated), but almost all movies have the same point. It is trying to tell us to believe in our dreams,  chase our dreams, and those dreams will come true.

So if you are too free/bored/inspired, I have some recommendations on few movies that I think are great:

A Cinderella Story
  

Love Anne Hathaway! She is so clumsy yet charming


This is a must watch! I love how Emma Roberts transforms :)

OMG I just love Hillary Duff and this is one of her best movie!

Who doesn't love a teenage LiLo? :)

I have tons and tons of movies to recommend since I'm a movie junkie but I'm not gonna overwhelm you with seas of movies LOL. 

and then I saw this.

OMG T.T I miss all of these shows!!

After stepping into our adulthood (or young adult. whatever), we tend to forget how simple things were when we were younger. You can say that as we grow up things gets complicated and start screwing up our lives. Things might get more complicated, you have more obligations, you have more things to do, you are more pressured, etc. And then you started worrying. Stress came over, and there you are stuck. Trapped in a stagnant and somewhat typical adulthood. 

As new obligations come in, you started to prioritize, and you forgot about your dreams. Soon you will forget about being truly happy, and you started to find happiness in a frivolous way. Your happiness depends on advertised things, on the luxuries offered by huge companies, on your bf/gf/friends. And soon enough you will forget that before all this shit happens, you were just a kid enjoying life to the fullest. But are you really happy? or are you just another puppet of big companies-victims of their advertisements, victims of the 'society'- to buy all of their products and feel that you are 'special'? When you are happy, you will be. It comes from within yourself, not from outside. You will feel happy even if what you do is only sitting. And then only will you feel what life is. 

I'm not saying that growing up is wrong, or it sucks; it just how life is. But as we grow up, don't lose faith in yourself. In your dreams. In your abilities. You have no or little control on things around you. The only control you have is yourself. So keep a positive mind. You are still you, you are still that little kid who live his life to the fullest. Be happy. See everything in a positive way. Remember, the magic is in you :)
