You have a lot more in common with this animated chicken than you think.

5 Ways We Are All Secretly Moana's Clumsy Chicken Heihei

I know I'm a little late to the bandwagon, but I finally got around to watching "Moana" with my sister. Oh my goodness, my only complaint is that I hadn't watched it sooner. There are so many great things about this movie, from the spectacular animation and scenery to the incredibly fun characters and the endearingly quirky soundtrack. It's a cheesy narrative told in a refreshingly new way, and I absolutely adore it.

One of my favorite things about the movie is Moana's oddball pet chicken, Heihei. For those of you who don't know Heihei, here's a nice compilation of his best moments.

Essentially, Heihei is a very simple chicken. He tries but oftentimes falls short of his intentions. By a lot. Such is life, however, and our beloved chicken's attempts at surviving are probably a lot like yours. Here are five moments in the movie when Heihei is practically another version of us all.


Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers for the movie "Moana."


1. He looks around and panics when he realizes he's in way over his head.

Come on. We've all done it. Maybe you got a plate full of food and realized halfway through that you couldn't finish it. Maybe you offered to do a favor for a friend and underestimated the complexity of the task. Maybe you let yourself get carried away by an idea, long before fully understanding just how much work had to go into it. Regardless, there's no way that you haven't at some point in your life started something and then later had doubts about your ability to cope with that something.

2. He stands confidently and pretends like he knows what he's doing.

Most of us have at some point found ourselves in a situation where there's a lot expected of us. Admitting you know nothing about the subject at hand was not an option. Therefore, you had to stand there, bluff your way through the presentation or conversation and just hope for the best. This works with varying degrees of success. Sometimes you pull it off, and everyone is none the wiser. Sometimes, though... you just end up looking like an idiot.

3. Occasionally, he just needs a push in the right direction.

None of us are perfect. We have all needed help at some point in our lives. It is absolutely impossible to get through life without help! Be it from family, friends, a teacher or that random guy who gave you a dollar one time, a little help goes a long way. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance next time you forget how to peck at seeds.

4. He's bone-tired after a long day.

If this isn't #relatable, then I don't know what is. It's honestly me every Friday afternoon. You just want to get home from school or work and collapse on the nearest piece of furniture. Normally, this is accompanied by feeling either relieved that the week is over or feeling despondent about all the things that you have to finish that weekend.

5. He's capable of growth.

Everyone can grow, whether they believe it or not. Throughout the movie, Heihei seems like nothing but, well... a dumb chicken. When it really matters, though, he pulls through and gives Moana the Heart of Tefiti instead of swallowing it like he's done with all the other rocks he'd encountered in the movie.

You're a different person than you were five years ago, and you'll probably be a different person five years in the future. You'll get through whatever's troubling you. If this chicken is capable of growth and learning, then you definitely are, too. You've gotten this far, haven't you?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
