Side note: don't hate on me too much for that. Queen Elsa did make very selfish decisions throughout the movie. I am not saying that she wasn't in frustrating positions, hard positions, or scary positions. But simply put, hiding away is the selfish decision. Lashing out is the easy thing to do. Running away is even worse. Many many people "relate" so well to her because all they want to do is hide away from the world they've conformed so well to, and to lash out at it when they are faced with harsh realities of being an adult. You may find that harsh, it is. But it's true. In the end, Elsa began making wise decisions and that is to her credit, and although I can see WHY she made some of her former decisions, that does not make them any less selfish.(Please don't argue that fact with me, you'll get no where)
Side Side note: I did rather enjoy the movie Frozen, I am not in any way trying to bash it.
Where was I? Oh, yeah. I said something about an inspiring song named "Let it Go" and you thought I was talking about the song from frozen.The song I speak of is about someone who needs to let go of something. In fact, the song I speak of is very similar to the song from Frozen.
The song from Frozen describes a predicament. A tough situation in which there seems to be no right answer. In fact, I personally can relate to the song and appreciate it a great deal. I probably would be obsessed with it, if it had come out when I was in highschool. However, I do not feel it gives a true answer to the predicament that Elsa faces. Obviously, the movie even paints that picture. Hiding out in her legit ice castle left the kingdom in a winter wonderland that was becoming more of a winter wasteland. The reason it is not my life theme song at the moment is because mine is still "When Will my Life Begin" from Tangled. ... Just kidding. It's because When I was in highschool I found the answer to my problems. I cannot say I always apply the answer, which is to my discredit.
The Tenth Ave North song "Let it Go" offers an answer to such a problem.I will let these song lyrics speak for themselves.
I've been holding on so tight
Look at these knuckles
They've gone white
I'm fighting for who I wanna be
I'm just trying to find security
But You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say you will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go.
Well it's hard enough to hear
Harder still, to move beyond this fear
We know there's nothing I can bring,
So tell me what do you want from me?
But You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say You will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go, You say let it go
What do I love?
What do I hate?
What will I lose?
What will I gain?
How do I save my soul?
What if I bend?
What if I break?
What will it cost?
What will it take?
For you to save my soul.
You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say You will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go, You say let it go
You say life is waiting for the one's who lose control
You say you will be, everything I need
You said if I lose my life it's then I'll find my soul
You say let it go, You say let it go
Running and hiding is not the answer to our problems. And niether is holding on tight to them. The only way to truly free yourself of a problem is to relinquish control to God. God loves you, and wants you to trust in Him, He wants you to trust that He knows what is best for any situation you have. God knows the "what if's" of our lives and knows what is best for our future, even if it makes no earthly sense to our little minds.
