This post might come a little late, but about a month or so ago, I saw the Disney Pixar movie, Coco, in theaters. I had heard it was a good movie, but it blew my mind in more ways than one. Other than the fact that the movie focused on the importance of family (alive and deceased), there were so many similarities between how Mexicans/Latinos and Chinese people honor the deceased!

No feeling is ever "bad," because feelings are...feelings! Being aware of our emotions allows us to know whether or not something fits us. Feelings give us insight as to who is important to us, what we want or don't want, things that bring out the passion and drive in us, how much an experience mattered to us, and many more! So why are feelings considered to be a negative thing in our lives? © Michelle Chan By a certain age, many young adults and adults begin to feel the pressure of parents, family members, peers, coworkers, and just society in general, that they need to "get married and settle down." While some may have dreamt of getting married and/or having children since a young age, it's not be the case for everyone. |
