Coco
rewatched this movie and it never fails to make me BAWL my fucking eyes out.
this movie is a beautiful love letter about family, grief, and loss. that scene with mamá coco felt super personal as someone na papa’s girl who lost her papa at a very young age.
throughout the whole movie, i kept thinking about how much of the people we love stays with us without us even noticing. the way we talk, the things we like, the stories we keep retelling. this movie just makes me miss people and appreciate them at the same time huhuhu 😭
lagi kong nirerewatch ’tong movie na ’to whenever i feel like i need to feel my dad’s presence. and i hope the afterlife is as beautiful as coco portrays it to be.
this movie will never not remind me of him, my childhood, and my girlhood 🥹
gets q sila kasi one of the scariest parts of grief is the thought of forgetting. not forgetting them completely, but forgetting the little things ganon—the sound of their voice, how their presence feels, how their arms used to hold you, and lahat ng little details na you never thought you’d have to hold onto so tightly. even how many years go by, that fear never really leaves.
some people might think that grief gets easier with time, but i don’t think it ever really goes away. you just learn how to carry it better. you grow around it. you continue living, you keep making new memories, and you find happiness again, but there’s always a space in your heart that remains untouched because it was meant for someone who’s no longer with you. voids that can never truly be filled because they were created by a specific person/presence. no matter how much time passes, there will always be a part of you that will wish na sana you can just have them exist alongside you again.
I truly have nothing but love for this movie kasi it lets me believe that love can survive death. that the people we’ve lost are still somehow connected to us through memory.
if only life were as kind as the movies huhu :(. if only missing someone was enough to bring them back for a moment.
