Disney is notorious for sprinkling heartfelt messages throughout their movies, which can be appreciated by anyone of any age. I have noticed that as I got older, my love for Disney increased, due to the nostalgic feeling I get when I watch movies from my childhood to picking up on those underlying lessons and messages in newer movies.

"Frozen 2" is the perfect example of this.

I went with my group of friends to see "Frozen 2" with no knowledge as to what the storyline was going to be. I was really just excited to see some of my favorite characters come alive again on the big screen. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be a major understatement. Just the songs alone were beautiful. From power ballads to a hilarious send-up of '80s rock power ballads, there were a small handful of songs that really spoke to me.

The fourth song in the movie is "When I Am Older" and is sung by everyone's favorite snowman, Olaf. The song has the same comedic tone as "In Summer", which he sings in the first movie. The main message behind the song is that new things can be scary but will make sense later, or when Olaf is older.

This message is very clearly directed at the youngest viewers in the audience, but I think as someone in her young 20s, there are still a lot of things in my life that I don't quite understand. I know that as I get older, things will become clearer. It's also basically the musical embodiment of the "This Is Fine" meme, which is sure to delight older viewers.

The next song is one that honestly had me laughing the whole time. Kristoff finally got his big musical break with "Lost in the Woods", a nod to '80s rock power ballads. The song itself is sweet, but the animation is what really made it for me. To understand my love for this song, you honestly just have to watch it! (Think of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" music video.)

The final song from "Frozen 2" that melted my heart was "The Next Right Thing," which is Anna's big song in the movie. The song is surprisingly dark for a Disney movie, but it holds a very valuable message about being overcome with grief and sadness and how to handle those feelings.

This grief has a gravity, it pulls me down, but a tiny voice whispers in my mind, "You are lost, hope is gone, but you must go on and do the next right thing."

I can easily say that I was an emotional mess by the end of the movie. No matter how old I get, Disney movies and the messages found within the songs will always hold a special spot in my heart. "Frozen 2" was no different.

It was a perfect mix of entertaining and serious, talking openly about the grief Anna and Elsa felt about the loss of their parents in the first movie. They also touch on other life lessons, like how easily miscommunication can happen in relationships, that it's okay to ask for help from others when you need it, and that, eventually, you will find out who you are meant to be.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
