Howl's moving castle
I've had enough of running away, Sophie.
And now I've got something I want to protect.
It's you.

Watched it before. But it never struck me so much until now. For some reason. So much so that I get the goosebumps several times.
I guess I've just come to know myself much better now. What I want is no longer dictated by what is the most recent korean drama taking the hearts of teenage girls worldwide. For one, I'm not a bubblegum-chewing teenage girl anymore.
Finally I've come to accept that fact. Those teenage years have been like autumn leaves clinging on desperately to their branches, refusing to let go of their last bit of life, before they resentfully bid their last farewells and fall to the ground. It's sad, isn't it? To see something, once so filled with energy, wither to nothingness. But those bare branches are welcoming another kind of beauty. The old leaves die in order for the new ones to grow. After the cold winter, new flowers bloom. An explosion of colours, awaiting the new cycle to begin.
Now I know. Now I finally know. But then, there's going to be more to learn.
But in the meantime, it's protection. That's what I have been looking for.
