Quality

I recently watched a Japanese animation movie called Howl’s Moving Castle. I’ve seen this movie before but it had been a while and seeing reminded me of just how ingenious it is. Superficiality, vanity, courage, kindness, true love… there are so many lessons worked into this one movie.

Watching this movie reminded me of quality art and the stories that we can create in so many different forms. Movies, songs and radio, print—from all of these we can get complete garbage or a space of time that captivates and brings us to a different world. It is watching good movies or reading interesting books that inspires us as well. Not only are they there for enjoyment but for those who aim to create, it makes us want to do more and better.

So why am I writing about this? I guess it is just a way of grounding myself. There is so much going on these days that it is easy to forget why we write or even what we are hoping to get out of the books we read and movies we watch. Cheers to quality and May it be something we always strive for.

Happy writing this week!
