Kiki's Delivery Service

After watching this movie, I have many thoughts. It’s a film about growth, and as we grow up, we inevitably lose our original innocence. In the process of growing up, we gain many things, but we also lose many.

From high school to university and then to studying for a master’s degree in the United States, the past 8 years have transformed me from a child into an adult. Many things have happened during these 8 years, and I have lost and gained a lot. Sometimes, when I calm down and think about the path I’ve taken, I feel that this journey has been really long. Like Kiki, as I keep moving forward, I’ve lost some people and let go of many warm and sunny mornings.

Kiki and I are similar in that we both started new lives in completely new places. Leaving our own homes and moving to an unfamiliar country, we naturally encounter various difficulties. When we start our new lives, many things don’t go as smoothly as we expect, and we’ll encounter many obstacles and setbacks, just like Kiki. However, as long as we persevere and work hard, we can overcome these challenges.

It’s been 8 months since I came to the United States, and during this time, I’ve encountered many difficulties. Sometimes I feel confused, just like Kiki, and the things I used to be good at suddenly don’t work as well as they used to, as if my magic has disappeared.

Later, I realized that my magic hadn’t actually disappeared; I just hadn’t made enough effort and hadn’t fully adapted to life here. Now, I’ve slowly adapted to living alone in a foreign country, carefully and meticulously managing my life.

There are times when everyone feels like they can’t continue, and getting anxious doesn’t help. Before I regain my inspiration, I might need to take a break.

I hope I can be a bit more brave and persistent. When the mountains seem insurmountable and the road ahead is uncertain, a new village may be just beyond the horizon.

I really love this movie.
