okay im gonna go from the earliest movie i rewatched a lot and i think fairly had the most impact on me. im also fully aware that the childhood list is a bit wild bc my parents didnt regulate the kinds of movies i watched they pre much would just cover my eyes with their hands or a pillow whenever there are explicit scenes like kissing and sex even though i can fully hear the sounds but they mostly didnt care about gore and violence lmao. i did gravitate more towards movies that are appropriate for my age during pre-adolescence though... i think. early childhood:
- dumbo
- kill bill vol 1 & 2
- the princess diaries
- romeo and juliet
during elementary:
- hannnah montana the movie
- aquamarine
- wild child
- school of rock

no more beating dead horses when it comes to movies, tv shows, etc. the movie doesn't need a sequel. the show doesn't need to go on for 27 seasons. we need more stories that are written with an ending in mind from the beginning.
best thing you can do for yourself is become extremely comfortable with being alone and doing stuff by yourself. at a young age i forced myself to get comfortable with that and now it's my default state-- i LOVE doing stuff by myself. my coworker is a person who literally cannot go places by herself and i have been trying to help her get more comfortable doing things solo because it's very freeing. everyone should be happy to go do stuff by themselves, it's lovely!
i will never get over polyvore shutting down. i used it obsessively and had hundreds of outfits made on it and mine were ARTFUL not like the stuff people say they saw on wattpad with like skinny jeans and converse and shit like mine were gorgeous. and then they shut down and i wasn't able to back up any of my stuff so i lost it all.
