On pushing forward

I remember back in 2019 where I was still working in the city, with the skyscraper and all.

It was a regular afternoon in November and I booked a movie ticket for one person to watch Frozen 2.

When the clock struck 5PM I walked very fast, almost like running. It was earlier than my usual end-of-day, but I asked my boss' permission to leave early because I did have an important thing to do.

It was a bit embarrassing when I arrived and I saw groups of kids dressing up as Anna & Elsa, along with their Olaf doll and all. And there I was, by myself wearing a business casual outfit, along with my huge tote filled with all the work supplies. It was awkward.

But I love Frozen 1 so much back when I was in high school. so I kept my cool.

As I sat, it was literally kids with Olaf costume sitting next to me, but it was okay, right? I love Frozen.

As the movie went on, I realized that Frozen 2 is not really a kid movie.
It is more like an animated movie for adults since lots of scenes really hit home to me.

*SPOILER ALERT*

When Olaf disintegrated and Anna thought Elsa had died, she sang The Next Right Thing.
It was when she had no idea what to do anymore that she decided to just do the next right thing.

I did cry an ugly cry then, I had no idea  what went through me.

To conclude, it was a very nice solo movie session despite the awkwardness and all.

Fast forward 5 years later, I cannot believe just how right Anna has always been.

When I was younger, I always thought that adults always know what to do, how to do it, and everything. I really thought adults constantly have everything together.
I was wrong.
I think most adults are never really sure, but they just keep moving forward.

I mean, this is our first time living, right? 
It is our first time being this age too. Of course we won't always know what to do.

But again, it seems like we can only do the next right thing and hope that miracles would show up just like Anna who finally found Elsa being alive and resurrected Olaf somehow.

It is the little thing, the next right thing, that opens up the door.
