Stories you read when youā€™re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes youā€™ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

2econdp2iioniic: shavemeinthemorning: operamatic: ukeaco: I would just like to point out that the beginning and end of Spirited Away creep me out in the most delicious way possible. I’ve always been a fan of fairy tales, and not just the Grimm and Anderson stuff, almost all my life. Like the honestly faerie court stories. Themes you see in those reflect strongly in this movie, and comparing them side by side just makes it that much more stark. Often times you hear that if you get sucked into the fairy realm, you shouldn’t eat their food. It gives them power over you. More often than not, heroes finally escape the fairy realm after what they perceive to be a very short time (a night or a week)… …only to find that seasons or years have passed. ‘Hey, it’s all dusty in here. Is this someone’s idea of a joke?’ CRAPPING SHIT I WHY HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS This always freaked me out a little as a kid. Like the OP, I couldn’t help but wonder how long REALLY passed. I always pretended it was something like a week but… Judging by that moss, I can’t say for sure. A week? Try much MUCH /MUCH/ longer. The plants are a good indicator but a better one is the statue. We’re seeing it from the same angle in each shot. Look in the first one before she enters, it’s not NEW but you can tell what it is. Now look at the second frame. It’s so eroded it’s just a dull, flat stone. That thing is solid stone, that must have taken up to, if not more than, a DECADE to wear down that much. Not to mention that there are new trees next to the car. Just remember how long it actually takes for trees to grow real quick. Evidence is suggesting they were in there for maybe around 20-30 years.

CRAPPING SHIT I WHY HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS

I like drinking coffee alone and reading alone. I like riding the bus alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when I see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their best friend, I realize that even though I like being alone, I donā€™t fancy being lonely. the sky is beautiful, but the people are sad. I just need someone who wonā€™t run away.

Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.

Sometimes I feel like Iā€™m slowly floating away. Iā€™m constantly looking for something to grab onto so I donā€™t lose myself.
