Happiness Is Like A Butterfly: The More You Chase It, The More It Will Elude You, But If You Turn Your

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.

- Henry David Thoreau

that one scene where ruth shows barbie what it's like to be human and it's just scenes of humans at birthday parties... humans dancing... humans playing in the park... humans doing mundane and everyday things and having FUN meant so much to me. the fact that it didn't include extraordinary things that only a few people accomplish in their lives but rather things almost every human as experienced, or a FEELING that almost every human has felt - joy, happiness, love - was so beautiful and important. you don't need to be the president or a nobel prize winner to be barbie, because barbie isn't about all that. yeah those are things that several barbies HAVE been and it's not impossible to be them, but stereotypical barbie is just... barbie. and she's enough as barbie. she doesn't need to be anything else. she doesn't need to win an award to be happy. she can just go to the gynecologist with the same smile. she's just barbie and that's everything. and who's barbie if not all of us.

“Yes: I Am A Dreamer. For A Dreamer Is One Who Can Only Find His Way By Moonlight, And His Punishment
“Yes: I Am A Dreamer. For A Dreamer Is One Who Can Only Find His Way By Moonlight, And His Punishment

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”

Characters Are Obliged To Act According To The Laws Of The World In Which They Live. In Other Words,

Characters are obliged to act according to the laws of the world in which they live. In other words, the narrator is the prisoner of his own premises.

I'm addicted to a life that's so empty and so cold

I'm a prisoner to my decisions

And now the old puzzle would be replaced with a new puzzle: How do I go on when the person I love most in the world is in love with someone else? Someone tell me the solution, he thought, so I don’t have to play this losing game all the way through.

sharpening oneself to the finest edge of perfection in order to feed or challenge external expectations and comments , and ending up of perpetrating horrific things leading to the eerie beautiful spiralling of one's own conscience.

This Was THE Scene!! The Way Barbie Was Afraid Of Being Perceived As “ugly” And Trying To Avoid Aging
This Was THE Scene!! The Way Barbie Was Afraid Of Being Perceived As “ugly” And Trying To Avoid Aging

This was THE scene!! The way Barbie was afraid of being perceived as “ugly” and trying to avoid aging just for her to see people in the real world and understand what it really means. The way she softly says “you’re beautiful” and the woman plays along with her by saying “I know”. The way it was her first good experience with someone in the real world. Everything about it was just perfect
