Am I Kenough?

Although, the new Barbie movie had its fair share of cringy, predictable centrist take on feminism and almost no intriguing plot twist. Somewhere it holds a heartbreaking reminder that our mothers are also just little girls — navigating through life; overwhelmed, afraid, frustrated, exhausted and often lonely handling their girlhood, womanhood, motherhood, and complexity and hypocrisy of every damn thing on this planet. Trying so hard to meet the expectations raised by people to whom we don’t even owe anything.

Maybe I’m still the little girl who still misses the Barbie dolls her dad got on her birthday. The little girl with anger, anxiety and also an equal passion for life. And I guess this is what it means to navigate through life; to constantly seek for something, perhaps to watch movies like this and learn about life.
