Why, do you ask?

Because I just saw "The Princess and the Frog."

Now the initial reason why I would be so emotional over this movie is because it's the return of one of the things that attracted me to Disney in the first place as a kid; animated Disney musicals. I always loved them growing up. And seeing them revived in the 21st century was quite refreshing, especially with great musical numbers and such a compelling and entertaining story behind it. I won't spoil it for anyone who's reading it and hasn't seen it yet, but it is definitely a must-see; I assure you.

But there is another reason why I am so emotional after seeing this movie. Like I said before; I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. But after seeing certain motifs and key character development points in the movie immediately made me reflect on my own life up to date and some choices I made lately (which I am quite proud of, might I add). And seeing them played out in this movie just made me reflect on why I allowed certain things to play in my life in the first place. The themes revolving around true love and dedication really got to me, and I couldn't help but become overwhelmed with emotion while still watching the movie.

And then to add more fuel to the fire, this song wants to play in the ending credits XD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f54x54REmH0. Like, the entire situation sucked because I felt like breaking down right there in the theater in tears. I tried to suppress it by playing something darker on the way home. But because of how I am, I download and start listening to the song on repeat continuously as soon as I get inside the house XD.

I honestly think I've been crying for a good fifteen-twenty minutes. The combination of the message the movie gave me and a song by an artist I wouldn't usually listen to sent me in a wave pool of emotions I never thought I would ever have to endure. But now, looking back at the decisions the movie made me rethink, I can honestly say this:

I'm glad I did. <3
