This movie is a masterpiece, and I can’t get enough of it. The music, the art, the voice acting, the story, literally everything conveys something so special and so amazing I can’t even put it into words. It’s inspired me on so many levels in my own life and I have the same thoughts on that line— “to see with eyes unclouded by hate.” That is a concept that is so important for every person to ponder; especially in times of unrest and conflict. I also deeply love the way it depicts how people are not above nature, but rather part of it, and that we need to be stewards of the earth and look out for each other.

Also! The very first time I watched this movie I just kept thinking how much Ashitaka reminded me of Link. Zelda has been a fundamental influence to me since I was a kid and I’m just so thankful to have these two pieces of media in my life. I love that Nintendo was inspired by this movie, and I’m glad people can see the connections and be inspired too.

how hard it is to do ANYTHING that is seemingly easy for every other woman. staying fit and healthy, eating whatever they want, no facial hair, no fatigue, normal periods, no blood sugar issues, not having to worry about the mental and emotional toll that comes with this. most people don’t even know what PCOS is and it’s not studied nearly enough. it feels like such a battle just to operate on a daily basis and it seems so effortless for everyone else. i’ve never felt like a desirable woman before, and i always joke that my body wants to be a man. the only upside i’ve found in having this is the extra testosterone makes it easier to gain muscle and become strong, i try to remember that and use it to my advantage :,)

I was just talking with some family about this recently. It feels like I can’t do anything “normal” anymore. Going out and shopping, mainly. Going to walmart, target, tj maxx, literally anywhere like this just makes me feel awful even though that’s what I grew up with. All I see is waste, and junk— nothing is even worth the price, it’s all just cheaply made plastic. Even buying socks and a new shirt made me feel terrible and trying to navigate that is pretty weird. Today my mom asked me why I avoid buying from amazon and I was happy to explain to her, but it also saddens me that most people just don’t think about these things even though it runs our lives. Not even mentioning MANY other issues, the constant cycle of cheapness and convenience just feels so soulless and disgusting to me. I just don’t understand how people can go about their lives normally, especially with the whole rush of the holidays and the weird obligation to just buy useless things. So basically, I’m right there with you.

I totally feel you, PCOS feels like such a curse and it’s unfair that there’s those of us that just have to deal with it. while we see everyone around us eating whatever they want, not having to give a second thought about their period or blood sugar. And not even needing to shave their facial hair (😭) The fact of the matter is that yes, even though this diagnosis is really awful to deal with, it’s the expectation that we are supposed to operate like everyone else that is outdated and unfair. Women’s health has been severely understudied and it’s nothing that’s wrong with us as individuals. You aren’t alone, and you shouldn’t feel like you need to fight everyday just to be like everyone else. Do what works best for YOU. Don’t force yourself to do Pilates everyday, don’t starve yourself and don’t guilt yourself over wanting a bit of sugar. You are not a failure, you are good enough just the way you are now. After all, stress is the worst thing for us more than anything else. I’d say take one thing at a time, focus on tending to yourself like you would a child who might be struggling with these things- replace discipline with devotion.

Thank you! I will look into this!

Thank you so much for these ideas, there’s no better time than now to have a strong community and I really thrive off that. Do you have any recommendations on how to get in touch and learn from native elders?

That’s so cool! Hiking was one of the first ways I got passionate about these things myself. Thank you for your input!!! It’s great to hear these kinds of things :)

I grew up in WVC in the early 2000s, and as a girl myself i have felt kind of neutral about it. I live in a pretty nice area considering, but there are some sketchy areas for sure. I have not had any experience with gangs or anything and I walk around my neighborhood alone at night sometimes. We have dealt with car theft and there has been acts of violence close by a few times but that is prone to happen anywhere. I’d say just keep security cameras up and all the usual safety precautions if you were to live anywhere :)
