You're so right about needing to just, let the bad feelings rush over you. I hope you feel confident in your decision! And that life is kind to you as you move forward.

Thanks @chey, it is several decisions, throughline is I must act differently and assert myself more. So it will have to be done over and over and over... well! Got to respect yourself after all.

Honestly any of them! I think My Neighbor Totoro is the softest and cutest one. I'm also a big fan of Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle for light but still moving stuff. If you want something darker, Princess Mononoke. No matter what you choose, I hope you enjoy!

@sauer I am working on Mononoke night to my great sadness. I think I am definitely going for Wind rises and Nausicaa (haven't seen them before) also Howl definitely.

Oh bummer! Someday. Ooo, those are all great. I forgot about Nausicaa! I always cry at a particular part (I will not spoil ;) ).

@sauer It feels vulgar to just get it all at once, so I am thinking of it as saving Mononoke for next time around.. Looking forward to things can be a pleasure in itself
