there are things i& #39;d say about "violet evergarden: the movie" that i wouldn& #39;t necessarily say about the rest of the work, but ultimately the movie is the capstone on what makes violet evergarden a compelling allegory of finding the means to express oneself and ... (2/9)
... thus a story that resonates with me. i& #39;ve spent a lot of my time in learning to expand my vocabulary in order to say what i really think precisely and succinctly, but what took me the longest to learn is how to express how i truly feel the moment i feel it. (3/9)
it& #39;s something i couldn& #39;t learn in a book. something i still haven& #39;t learned very well. sometimes even with time to ponder and process my emotions, it& #39;s still very difficult to speak out loud my real thoughts and sincere emotions. (4/9)
ever since i& #39;ve taken to talking over text through phones or the internet, i& #39;ve found it easier to communicate via written word, regardless of its shortcomings as a means of conveying the tones or nuances of speech. (5/9)
in spite of that, i& #39;ve also struggled with the stigma that comes with delegating important feelings to writing, feeling as though if it& #39;s truly so important i should be able to say it face to face. (6/9)
there are a lot of things i love about violet evergarden, the most important of which is the affirmation that every form of expression is valid. what& #39;s most important is that i say what needs to be said and find the way that allows me to say it the best that i can. (7/9)
all expressions are important, because it& #39;s our self expression that makes us who we are in the eyes of others. if a feeling is truly important, the recipient must accept it no matter the form so long as it is sincere. (8/9)
this is what makes the whole of violet evergarden special to me. thank you. (9/9)
