When I was younger, my family was not always the most supportive. I did a lot for myself, starting from a very young age, but I always felt sort of trapped. Trapped in my house; trapped in who I’m supposed to be; trapped in my own life. I never really cared about a “knight in shining armor” to come and take me away.
It never mattered to me.
I just innocently followed my parents, because I thought they were always right.
But they never were;
Ever
I probably could have used a knight in shining armor, but it was never a thought in my mind.
This is why I started watching the movie Tangled. Every single day, I watched it, over and over and over again, to the point where I almost memorized it. I remember each and every line, from the emotional: “Go. Live your dream”, to your funny quotes “you broke my smolder!”. I based my whole personality around this young princess. I wanted to be that strong, independent girl that Rapunzel, the princess, was.
Rapunzel quickly became my favorite movie character, and honestly, she still is to this day. I love her personality, her situation, and how she overcomes it.
When I was younger and this movie first came out, I could relate to it in a lot of ways: my family consistently made me feel trapped, I had a lot of thoughts about running away, and huge dreams I would have done anything to overcome. This is why I love Rapunzel, and the whole movie itself.
