I hate to be here every time I feel upset, sadly this is the only place I can vent my heart out.
Today some friends and I got upset to each other for the stupidest reason ever. I have never try to make them angry but they said some hurtful comments and well, the things didn't go well. I don't want to tell details because I don't want to get upset again.
I know that I'm overreacting, maybe it's because I'm on my period but I don't know if I'm in my right to feel this way. But this just makes me think about how easy is to me to unattache from people. I tried so hard to be in someone's life for many years that I've learnt that the worst thing you can do is beg for people's love.
If this stupid fight made me feel upset is because I care, right? But if this makes us get away from each other I don't feel any kind of loss. Sometimes I wonder if my friends are the friends I really need... As awful as I feel writing this, I have never felt that I can't live without them. We laugh, we spend a good time together but sometimes they do things I dislike and I never say anything bc this differences are what make friendships stronger, maybe not??

But at the end of the day I've never felt understood by them. I think this is my fault since I tend to have a double life, they think of me the same way the people in the office do, they only know this side of me I pretend to be...
I don't know if we will stay friends forever or we will just stop talking as the time goes, but for today, I don't want to stress about this, this is supposed to be a good time since we are close to Christmas and it will suck to be in bad terms with them but I won't chase them, I won't go behind anyone again anymore

I honestly feel embarrassed for posting this but this is my personal blog and I want to talk about this.
Maybe people wouldn't see any difference but I do and besides feeling happy I feel terrified. Terrified of getting back to my initial weight. If someone takes their time to read my blog they will know that my weight is part of my suffering lol.... All my life I have struggled with losing weight because my stupid self bases my own worth in how heavy I am, and being overweight / obese destroy anything good I can find in myself.
Of course I know this is not a healthy mindset, I tried to accept the way I was, but my weight influences a lot with my dysphoria. Having big breasts and wide hips makes me feel awful, I hate myself so much for letting me get this fat and I cried a lot.... Maybe I don't look like it but I have a tendency to suffer eating disorders. I have notebooks filled with hate messages reminding me to avoid eating that day, hating myself for succumb to my hunger, it was pathetic. I even joined some forums for Ana and Mia... I felt, and sometimes I still feel accomplished when my stomach hurts because I haven't eaten during the day.
And I'm a big hypocrite. On the outside it seems that I really don't care about this stuff, I promote healthy eating and how important is to love yourself despite everything, but destroying myself is something I like to do...

After all this years, it seems that I have finally find a way to lose all that weight. And as easy as it sounds, the mindset is the key to success... I'm still in progress but I have lost 35 lbs this year (I feel proud but in my head this number seems too small). The only thing I'm doing is to avoid sugar and carbs haha... I am afraid to get stuck and start getting all the weight back and I'm getting a little obsessed with this. But I'm really happy to finally doing it. Right now my weight is the same I was 5 years ago and hopefully I will get to a healthy weight someday.
Talking about this makes me feel I jinxed myself but sometimes I want to tell everyone but as I said before, people think that I don't care about this stuff.

There are many things I want to write about tonight but the last entries were a little depressing so I don't want to be negative all the time, I will save it for another day when I feel better. I tried to cheer myself up with this entry but I'm a little embarrassed as I said at the beginning of this post. 

My name is Cain but no one knows....

Today is one of those days I can't handle being who I am, I'm not sure if this is what people call "dysphoria"... But today I felt sad for being me. I don't know how to explain it. I'm afraid of explain it... I'm afraid of someone reading this and think that this is just a whim, a cry for attention... I'm afraid of looking stupid. I just know that I would cut my hair today and cut other things too. Today it was hard to breath, today I didn't want anyone to see me, talk to me... My body felt heavier than never... I just want to be the person I am in my dreams. Wake up and being him... Call me by his name... Make my current self disappear and refer to me as "He"...
.
.
.
But here I am, feeling invalid. Because my fucking self can't pass as a man... Because my fucking face, my fucking body, my fucking voice is clearly female... Because all you know is to refer to me as a "she". Because it seems I will never have the guts to confess this to anybody, to be honest with all of you who call yourselves my friends, my family... Because I'm fucking afraid of hear you laughing... Judging and misunderstanding... I want to wake up one day and tell you all who I really am.

Today was one of those days I cried in my inside for being who I am... I hope tomorrow gets me closer to the day I've been longing for so long. I just don't feel to be happy right now, or pretend to be... 

#6...

It bothers me to feel this way and don't have anyone to talk to. Sometimes I don't know why I need someone when I know what they will say, I know the words I will hear and I know that nothing they say will change a thing. Suck it up like everyone else does, right?
I have been feeling anxious lately, I'm upset, and it worries me to go back to the office with this mindset. Although, feeling this way makes me want to work harder for what I want, and the fear to die is gone, I honestly think that dying wouldn't be something bad at all... The problem is that I don't want to surround myself with people bc I don't want to ruin the day for them but if I tell them that I don't feel like going out they will get upset anyway.
I wrote that I didn't like to be alone with myself but I need to be alone right now. I'm sorry if this blog gets to negative and I know that no one wants to read about someone else's depression... Depression...
Am I depressed? Is it valid for me to say I have it?? Just like my identity, it feels so alien to me......whatever....

Again, I'm sorry. 

#?? The voice in my head is loud today

October finally came and it's ending already, I wished this month to be perfect and it kind of was. But I was afraid of having a crisis this days and it happened. Things got a little frustrating this past weeks and I broke. I cried in the office, I tried to hide the best I could but tears didn't stop and there was me, feeling useless, stupid and angry for feeling that way and hating what triggered it. I won't explained what happened because it makes me upset that something so stupid and trivial affected me that much. Anyway...
I've been at home this week because I'm on my vacation, good thing is that I could clear my mind from the stress from the job and clean my room lol I had a year of not doing it so it was needed. The problem is that.... I'm left alone with myself for too long, being with my head never ends well. I rush to twitter every time I feel miserable, but there are ppl that knows me irl and I don't want them to know how I feel.... Do I??
I want to write of how much I need to cut myself to avoid doing it but I can't... I don't want them to ask, to assume, to tell me to stop being stupid. And here I am, with my arm feeling sore, I cut, just one of them bleed.... So lame...
This will sound idiotic but thinking of who I am, how I look rn, who I am with ppl around me, this person they know as helen makes me... I can't even find a word to describe how disgusted, how angry, how sad, how disappointed I feel. I hate being known by this name, as this person...
My eyes get teary as I write this down, but crying won't fix it...
It's funny to think that I thought I had get over things, I was more mature when I came back to this blog some months ago and honestly I'm more broken than before. Good thing is that nobody reads me here and I can be more honest, not being afraid of being questioned.... Although... Really deep deep inside of me I wish there would be someone who would understand. She did, she helped me even when I couldn't helped her feeling better... But I'm alone now. As cliché as it sounds, the voices in my head are louder today... And they seem to be laughing at me for being so pathetic... "you are 31yo now, ppl your age are supposed to have things fixed by now, stop being so childish, who do you want to impress??! "...
Anyway, my arm hurts and I don't know how to end this entry haha...

#4 I'm fine

Sometimes you don't need a reason to feel miserable, you just do. Feeling like you can't control anything but the urge, feeling like you have nothing worth giving or sharing and they give you something to hide and stories behind. Hiding yourself from people but wishing they would notice and understand who you are... Feeling stupid for doing this but this is all you can do for yourself. The irony of feeling proud for having them, for showing them, for expecting others to see and know how you feel... Basing your worth by how big or deep or visible the wound is, because if you didn't go all the way through you are a coward, trash. Hate yourself for doing it but hate yourself more for not doing it often. Faking smiles every day is annoying , faking being normal is exhausting when all you can think about is to end it all...sometimes you don't need a reason to feel miserable, you just do. 

#3 September is finally here

I have been watching Ancafe's last lives while walking on the treadmill and although it makes me feel a little sad, it brings me such nice memories. It's hard to realize that they are no longer active and I won't see them again 😔 I miss them, specially Miku, he gave me something to look up for every day and since they disbanded, Miku disappeared from social media.
This month is good to remember the things that made us smile once, sometimes nostalgia hurts more than sadness but it's a good feeling, I guess.
I don't have the age for longing things I will never have or be like I used to when I was 22yo. Thankfully I grew up and got over some things that made me miserable, like wishing to wake up in someone else's body. When you hate yourself this is something you daydream about often, at least, I did. I still struggle with accepting myself and my relationship with myself is still broken but I know what I want for me, what I need to do and why... I won't be that person that will tell herself that she's wonderful and love to be her in front of the mirror... never... But at least, I don't want to be someone else anymore.
This entry ended up a little sad. Sorry.
Anyway, it's finally September which means the last beautiful 3 months are coming. I live this season and I really hope this will be great months!! I'm afraid to get too excited bc sometimes shit happens and I'm not in a mental place to feel disappointed but I will cross fingers 😊
No gif or image today bc I'm writing through the cell phone 

#2 - Grey is... Manga

This year I haven't read too much manga, I think I am stuck with the same on going titles like Kuroshitsuji (the manga is doing amazing lately), I am a Hero and My Hero Academia. But I also found a non-japanese manga that I dare to say is the only work by a foreign author that I have enjoyed. I want to talk a little about it.

This manga is Grey is... by dee juusan, the story is about the friendship of two broken friends who help each other to deal with their past and ghosts. Sometimes it gets corny but the story telling is really well done in the last chapters.
The atmosphere of loneliness and longingness for a better life is nicely portrayed, and I really like the contrast between the characters.

We have White(black hair) who is the mind-centered guy, the one who looks like he has everything figured out when he really has not. But he is the one with the cold head and the person who always has a good advice.
Then, there's Black (White hair) who's childish and impulsive. He refuses to grow up and is usually in troubles. From the very begining is stated that he was abused when he was young, I think the story starts with Black wanting to jump from a building and White stopping him.
This event becomes important for them and they celebrate it every year. This is something I find really cute.
I won't tell details and what happens in the story, if someone happen to find this and wants to read it, I don't want to spoil it.
Friendship is the main theme in this manga, but signs of depression and self harm is explicity shown in this. I must confess that I wasn't expecting to be affect by any of this, somehow... when I read this, something in me got triggered...
In the first post I mentioned that I started to self harm again, well, this was the moment I did.

I don't know if this manga caused it or I was already in a unhealty mindset that reading this awaked the impulse to do it. thankfully I was in vacation and I didn't have to deal with this at the office.
There was a day when I didn't sleep at all and cried all night thinking the worst about me. This will sound pathetic but it was so long since I felt this way and I'm confused....I felt kind of proud when I saw the wounds in my arms... I liked how they look and to have a secret no one imagine.
and Suddenly I feel stupid for having this thoughts. At least, I don't feel this way anymore, but I want to keep reading this manga but I'm kind of scared to trigger this mindset again. Probably it was not the manga's fault but my own and I will be safe next time.

Anyway, the art is beautiful and althought the first chapters are not that great drawn, some details in the story were hard to catch, like sometimes it was hard for me to follow the conversations, they were talking about people not introduced in the story yet or past situations that are explained later but as the story goes on, the pages start to get more professional looking and the feelings are so sharp in every page, everything begins to make sense. I have mixed feelings for Black, I would like to identify with him (my thing with white hair characters) and my liking to characters that struggle and suffer but White is more relatable to me. White may look plain but he's probably the most complexed character since we are usually tell Black's side of the story but White's has holes that are a mistery even for the characters in it. I really want to know more about him.

Well, if anyone is interested in this, you can find it in the link below:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changing the topic, I start going to walk/run with some friends after work and damn.... my legs hurts so bad right now. I didn't even run but this pain is a bitch. I really wish to get to the moment I'm able to jog or run.

#1

Have you ever feel the urge to do something but have no idea of what to do?
Like I want to draw, I want to do my hair, I want to work out but at the end of the day I didn't do anything...
Today was my day off and I went to eat with the twin and her boyfriend, it was a good day. Sometimes I want to keep this real and stop pretending that I am fixed and totally fine. But I don't want to look miserable like I used to. I need to find the balance.

I changed the theme of the blog and I guess it looks ok, I want it to make think of autumn and make it my cozy place.
I don't know what I feel right now. It's something between happiness, sadness, excitement and anxiety... I will just take a bath and relax for the night. Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day.

New re-introduction

Since I'm coming back almost 2 years later, I think I can re-introduce myself. As I mentioned in the last entry, some things have changed and some has stayed the same.
I'm, of course, older and I guess wiser...I'm still the same clueless person but now I deal with things more calmly and neutral.

The first thing I did today was to delete one of my old blogs, the one I used to write about my feelings and depression. I wrote some sensitive things there and I don't want it to be online anymore. I met some wonderful people there, and sadly I never kept contact with them, but they will stay in my heart forever.
I'm still working at the same job, always with adidas and I'm blessed to still have my job. Things are harder and complicated now, sometimes I feel like quitting but I know that it would be the WORSE decision ever. I can't imagine to do anything else. Besides my plan is to be there as long as possible. Thank you so much for trusting in me.

Anyway, I don't have a specific plan for this blog, besides talking to myself. I will probably write about my feelings and daily basis.
I read my old entries and although some made me cringe, it's nice to realize that I have change the things I didn't like about myself to become the person I want to be.
Sometimes it feels silly that I'm still struggling with my identity at my age, but everything is so clear now. I'm working on myself and hopefully I will start living this new self next year.

I'm still struggling with depression and this year has been a little hard, I self harmed again but I will write about it another time. Right now I'm felling good. I improved my diet and I think that it helps a lot. I still read manga and collect figures. I don't draw as often as I used to, This is something I really miss when reading this blog again. I really drew a lot even when I was at the university and doing projects and homeworks, I have some free time now but I spend it going out and eating with friends. I don't even watch TV, or netflix. I want to improve that part though.

Tomorrow is vacation and I got the day off, this is why I'm getting the chance to write today.
anyway. Good night :)

After so long

Hello,
I just remembered that I have this blog and how much I like to write. I have been doing it in a notebook lately but I'm thinking of returning to update this blog. My English has gotten worse so I also hope this will help me keeping up with it.
I was reading some entries and it's really fun to realize how different are things now. Some stays the same and I have move on from others. I would write about it later.
I need a place to run to when life gets too overwhelmed.

Let's get this going 😊

The Blogger who is always in HIATUS

Good afternoon...
It's July 2nd, 2017. and I remember that I promised to updated my blog more in 2015 lol...
It's been so long since I last updated and I happily can say that a lot of things have happened, Good and bad. But I try to focus on the good things.
I'm still working for adidas and I feel blessed, even though things have gotten really complicated inside my Job, I have the blessing to still have a job so I won't complain about anything about it.

I am 29 years old now and I'm still the same person loving manga and trivial stuff that make me smile. The biggest change right now is that I can afford buying manga and action figures now ( ◞･౪･)

I don't have much time because I work 9 hours everyday and I only got weekends to rest but I'm usually out. I know, this is not important and no one really asked but I want to mention it.
I missed those days when I could watch an entire serie or draw everyday, sadly I still have no motivation and I have drawn some simple drawings, there's still the wish to do it more.
Maybe some day I could show them here too, I'm using Instagram now but here is my secret, cozy place.
Thiz year is going so fast and it bothers me that I still have resolutions I wish I can make them happen yet, but we are 2 months apart from September which makes me really happy!! Although we don't have fall season here I love everything about it and the weather gets really nice here since September so I celebrate my "Autum" in a special way. You are never too old to enjoy small things.

Anyway, I just wanted to prove that I'm still alive and hopefully I will write again sometime.

Hi!!

Hi!!
I'm so sad October is already over...I was waiting so much for this month with high expectations: Beautiful weather, movies, wearing the Kigurumi I bought and playing video games. But it was damn rainy and hot that I couldn't wear the onesie and I could watch only 1 movie... we celebrate Halloween at the office which was really cool but I wish I could have done more. It was a good month tough. My beautiful October.

Anyway, it's November now and it's time to enjoy the Christmas feeling and decorations. In my country all the malls are already decorated, and you could find Xmas decoration since September so it's time to spend some money on mistletoe and Fairy lights (*`u´*)

Anyway, I haven't been able to draw anything as usual. I'd really like to share some drawings but there's nothing to share :( . I just read the new chapters for Kuroshitsuji and I really like the turn it took.

Is Vicent "alive" as Undertaker's corpses' dolls??

Besides that dream Ciel had...what does it mean?! what is it?! What piss me off is that I don't find anyone talking about this, everyone is just making stupid post about Claude and Alois on tumblr...it's like nobody is reading the manga anymore... and it's sad :( I like to read everyone's theories but well...I think no one really care about this series anymore haha..

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, Hope everyone is doing well right now

Look the beauty I found today...I didn't know this was done but I'm happy it was

I need to get this Kai Play art (T_T) it's so beautiful and detailed. But this figures are so expensive. Well, I got Sora and it's worth every penny so I'm thinking to get this one too (*u*)

Let's begin

I remember when I listened to Len Kagamine - Soundless Voice song for the first time on 2010.
I was going through a break up so the song destroyed me. But what I did notice is that I really loved the singing voice. Anyone who knows Vocaloid and NicoNico knows what version I'm talking about, right? Later on, I found out that the person singing was VALSHE. I don't remember if I have ever talked about this person here before. But There was something in this voice that makes everyone addicted to it.

VALSHE has become someone really special to me, and it makes me so happy that she is really popular and have a successful career. But what makes me even happier is that I finally could see the face behind the voice. (btw, everyone refers to Valshe as "Her" but Idk what pronouns I should use tbh)

I love Valshe's style so I will make a little appreciation post (*`u´*)

I wish my hair would look like this. So nicee!!

I guess it's a good time to come back!

As fun as it may sound, this blog is still active.
It's been a year since I last wrote here, and I find amusing how much I used to update in my Kuroshitsuji days.
It's even funnier that people get to my blog thanks to that post I did about Syao and Akia, (which I find really annoying because I sound like a silly teenager) but it's something I enjoyed taking out of my chest.

Anyway, it's already September. 2015 needs to slow the fuck down but I'm happy because I love this season. We don't have fall in my country, we are in winter or summer?? Idk but it's been raining non stop this last days but sometimes we have clear and beautiful mornings that remind me that October is just around the corner.
There are a lot of things that have changed, and I can say that I'm a happier person, a little colder, but much happier. I still have my job with adidas. I have always think that I was pretty lucky to find this job but I have worked hard to get where I am right now. So it's a good combo: Luck + Hard Work.

I'm really close to find out who I really am too. I used to write that I was feeling confused about my identity. Well, I'm still figuring it out but I'm more confident about where I'm going and why. I know who I want to be. and maybe it may seem weird for some people that I identify as non binary. I still have troubles understanding all those terms, identities and everything inside the Gender Spectrum so I won't talk much about that for now.

Personal achievements so far? I dyed my hair blond and bought a chest binder. I'm a -being in construction- although I'm still fighting against my weight I feel positive. I start eating clean, changed coffee for Green tea, Run for 45 minutes 4 days a week and I've been feeling great.
This year was getting really hard, I was so stressed and tired. My mood got worse and everyone around me started to notice it. I will be 30yo really soon, and I don't want to live feeling like this anymore.
I love my job but I was feeling like giving up...I can't and I won't. I want to be a better version of myself so I need to make a lot of changes. Since I decided to change my way to deal with my everyday and habits everything is going pretty well.

I feel great right now, and I hope I can come back to write everyday here. I don't know if I will write about my progress or the things I like again. I guess anything is ok. I wanted to changed my blog design but I got really confused, I don't even know how I added the banner I have right now. Meanwhile it will stay as it is right now.

Just some thoughts

Hello!!!
I should be sleeping but I feel like writing something.
I wrote that I had a lot to write about in my previous entry...haven't got the chance to do it ha ha I fail a lot at keeping up with my blog...(Is this correct? my English sucks a lot)

I don't know how to write this but lately I have been really happy every time Akiharu Tsukiyama / Miku post something. He stop using twitter which make me sad but he must have his reasons, and it's ok if he wants to move on. He made his account in 2010 right? maybe...anyway. I love this man to death, even though I find him a little annoying sometimes. I used to write a lot about him in my diary, and print all his pictures...hahaha I was really happy thinking about him. I never considered this as infatuation but admiration. When I was on LJ, there was this blog that translated the Ancafe blog and I loved to read Miku's entries. He was always so honest and I identified with him a lot. I don't know if it is because we are both Capricorn, but I thought our personalities were pretty similar(I sound stupid I know...) He just became really important to me.
He's always trying his best, he even push himself more than he should. He used to write about the things that made him happy, about his depression, insecurities and weakness and I really admire how strong he is despite everything...he has mature a LOT.
He has been my inspiration, and must confess that I have always wish I could look like him too...this may sound even more stupid but I love his hair and the way he looks. He doesn't look as cool as other Jrockers but when he dress well he looks stunning (=3=)

I can't stop loving him like the first time I realized he was important to me

And I can't ignore this picture over here ↓ ↓ 

Miku or Akiharu, whatever you want to call him, please never change. I know he is not perfect but I love him with all his flaws and that's it...I could write about this guy everyday, long and long entries, but I will keep a lot of things to myself. I think that there are not even words to describe what he has done to my life and why he is so important to me. Not just as an idol to his fan but as a person. I feel lucky to know he exist. 

I'm not dead (but I wish)

Long time since my last time here. I have so many things to write about. Wish me luck to remember it all and keep the motivation when I got home...
I am alwasy saying I miss my livejournal days, but I don't make an effort to update this hahah ains.... I can update from my phone now so I guess it will help a little 

Chapter 89

Hi!! I haven't updated for a while, and I will write about something I haven't for so long: New chapter of Kuroshitsuji!

First of all, I LOVE THIS PAGE!!! Ciel looks pretty awesome in this one. Since the very first moment I saw this picture, I knew I was gonna like this chapter.
I won't write a deep review (well, I never do) but I will say something I haven't said since the Campania Arc: I really liked this chapter!!!
There's something I would have liked to see in this Arc, they are suppose to be in a strange village in the middle of the wood, a cursed wood. This makes me think about The Village movie, you know, a really bizarre group of people living isolated from the world, there are witches or legends about witches, werewolf and villager scared of the wood around them, but Yana Toboso is a little too light about this things, that they make it like a big deal at first but then everyone is all chilling out in this manga. Master Sullivan is too easy going for my taste (I won't deny I got a good laugh when she "squeezed" Ciel's) I don't know. I wanted to see a mysterious atmosphere in this character. Maybe I was expecting to see something more like Kaory Yuki's manga. Beautiful and deathly porcelain dolls.

Well, the comical turns in this chapter were good, I laugh. But what made me like this chapter, is the plot twist at the end...(I didn't got amazed by the fact Sebastian was crying in the wood, bc it wasn't him feeling something, it was the wood curse so his tears didn't mean anything to me, but I read a lot of people getting hurt by this scene...I don't know, he even said it, "he has no human emotions to shed those" or something like that hahaha)

This page....this fucking page made it for me _(:'( >L)_

Ciel hardly get affected by anything in this manga, he usually control everything around him. or there's always Sebastian knowing what to do.  Maybe I'm too perverse and I really enjoy to see this character showing fear, anger and frustration (that's why I loved the Circus Arc and season 2 of the anime hahaha). And we can clearly see fear in this page. I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next!!! I know Ciel won't die or get crazy like everyone else did, but what will you do Sebastian? or....Master Sullivan...I have the feeling she will come to the rescue -_-

I'm getting excited by this Arc and I really hope we got "WHAT THE FUCK?" moments in this one. 

And as I'm talking about Kuroshitsuji, I never had imagined to see a fanart by one of my favorite artists: 

Glenn Arthur

It seems he loves Kuroshitsuji and I love knowing that (;O;)

Resolutions?

When I sat down to write my resolutions this year, I didn't want to make a list of things I'd be really afraid of not doing, so I just wrote:

"Don't give up"

But now that I think about it, maybe there´re some things I would really like to achieve this year. I don't know if I will have the time to do them, but it would be good to never forget them.

Well, they are not personal things like losing weight or being positive, but actual things like draw something.

Ok, here I go:

1. Finish the requests before February 

2. Draw a doujinshi (Kingdom Hearts doujinshi to be more specific, I have the story written somewhere. I hope that when I read it back I remember the little details I thought and maybe, didn't write then)

3. Make my own comic (it wouldn't be the first comic I draw but it would be the first comic I would like to share, so it has to be good or at least, decent. I have been thinking about the characters, and how it would go, but I need to think a lot of things yet)

and that's it ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

Is Disney really that bad?

Hi!
I have been reading a lot of people complaining about Disney being racist. Of course this is not new, but it's like a lot of people got offended by Frozen (because there wasn't any PoC, as they say) calling it racist (again) and sexist...
Yeah, as I said on my twitter, Disney has made a lot of mistakes, and of course they would aim for a certain public over the world. But I can't help to roll eyes every time someone brings this issue to the table...

We can't deny that Disney tries to have diversity, (maybe they haven't made their best in this issue) we have Pocahontas, Mulan, Aladdin, The Princess and the frog, Lilo and Stitch and other I don't remember right now . Not as much as all their other movies with white and blond characters, but they are there.
I don't come to defend Disney and say that they are a beautiful company who gives us cute stories and lovable characters. But the reason your child can't relate to this characters because they are white is not Disney fault but ours as society and yours as a parent.

A lot of kids don't care about Rapunzel's blond hair or Anna's white skin, they love them as characters, because they are smart, strong, brave and fun. Why don't we try to teach our kids and ourselves to embrace this qualities instead of pointing out their skin color only. 

I must confess that I thought that people say Frozen was sexist because Anna was so focus on finding "the One" and everyone believed that "True Love" meant a kiss from the guy she loved. Not because someone (from the animation crew, I guess) made a comment about "animating girls is hard" and because Disney cut a lot of (almost all) female characters on the original story of "The Snow Queen"...The story is an adaptation, and what a I like the most is that there are not weak characters in it. How can it be sexist when the females characters are the strongest and bravest? Then, there's the issue that all the characters are white..............

I have read a lot of text posts on Tumblr about offended teenagers saying that they couldn't relate with Ariel or Cinderella as kids because they were not the same race as them. And freaking out because their little cousin said the same. Yeah, it must have been horrible to felt excluded. But why do you think that you can only relate to someone who has the same skin color as you and not because you are both capable to change the world, believing in yourself and never let anyone to tell you the contrary? Cinderella, behind the look of the Damsel in distress, is a character who teach that to believe is enough, that you can dream and change your reality and become someone. (Not saying that she was a nobody when she was a maid, but the idea that everyone said that because she was a maid she could never aspires to be chose by the Prince, for example) With this, your daughters can realize that they can achieve and be everything they want, not listening when others try to make them feel they are unworthy, they just have to believe in themselves. NO that they can achieve things if they are white and beautiful (bc Cinderella was clearly better looking than anyone in that damn movie) and that they need to meet the charming prince to marry and be rich.

Sometimes we need to relax the fuck off and try to see things with a different perspective. I'm not saying that we should cover our eyes and pretend that everything is good and honey like, blessing ignorance. But we can try to take what's really important and you will realize how beautiful life is when you do it.

There are other more important things that need our attentions than a Disney movie, Don't you think?

Of course I respect everyone's opinion and this is just mine
