Encanto 🦋 Enough

❛❛My motivation, can't be validation.....I'd always be starving.... ❜❜
✎ Well, well, well. Here we are already almost a month into 2022, and I am just now finishing a vid for this beautiful film.
Did anyone else feel this unspoken, invisible pain, while watching/listening to "Waiting on a Miracle"?? (I know I can't be alone there. *replays song*) This movie hurts, but I love it, and I admire Mirabel's humble little spirit. I just had to make at least one emotional vid dedicated to her. This song I think just expands on this song, especially the second verse. (Which is my favorite part! ;)
That craving for validation, affection, attention, a sense of worthiness. Even being an only child, I've felt that in my family and while I was in college. Its something we all struggle with, and I appreciate a film like this shedding light on how the people whom we are closest too, that you have so much love and admiration for, can at the same time make you feel this immense pressure - under the surface - to live up their expectations. (As well as your own expectations.)
Also, I wanted to say that, despite what this song says, I personally do NOT believe this "craving" can be filled by ourselves alone. This "I am already enough" thing. NOT TRUE!!!! I know that's what society tells us, but I mean its conflicting, think about it: If it were true then Luisa should have been strong enough alone and Isabelle would have been perfect enough on her own. The only reason Mirabel can be happy living without a gift is not because she tells herself she's worthy, it's her whole family SHOWING her she's worthy. Its not something you have to earn its SOMEONE you believe in. In the case of this film it was her family, but I like to take it a step deeper in that it's Mirabel's faith that made her overflowing with love and happiness for others.
Now, I am all for promoting a sense of self-worth (Lord knows we need that) but its gotta be within the right perspective and with the right motive to be true. Because honestly, we ARE lost to begin with. We are NOT worthy, and can never be worthy on our own. No special gifts or intelligence, or even family/friends can be enough to satisfy those cravings. They're not meant to and they're all temporary. It is only by the grace and sacrifice of someone that IS worthy that we can be made whole. We are enough in Christ Jesus, but apart from Him we can do nothing.
You're free to interpret this vid/song as you like, but I wanted you to at least understand my original intention and interpretation of the video.
And yeah, sorry about the text....I tried....but ugh....texting is just not my thing. I'll keep working at it.
Hope ya'll enjoy!! See ya on the next vid....not sure which it'll be just yet.
