A Monster Calls

cried so hard i got a headache. amazing movie. i remember watching this when i was a kid and understand nothing about its meaning. and now, watching it again and ended up bawling my eyes out at 2 am.  every tale feels like a metaphor for grief. and there’s a complex implication of belief which quite deep, quoting from the monster: belief is half of all healing.belief in the cure,belief in the future that awaits. we tend to use belief as a shield, as some part of healing, and sometimes, it saves us. but belief isn’t a substitute for truth.the true healing begins when belief and acceptance meet. when we stop clinging to what we wish was true, and start facing the real truth. sometimes, what we really need is simply sit with the pain, to stay with it, and heal will come to our way.
