"Spirited Away" came out in 2001, the same year that I settled in the US, left my best friend, a time when I had to adapt to everything, when I had no idea where life was heading.  Hayao Miyazaki apparently dedicated the movie to 10 year olds - the exact age I was back in 2001.  It's always been my absolute favorite Ghibli film (even before I learned of this coincidence) because of the way Chihiro works her way through the maze no matter how frightening or confusing it is.  She's stubborn and grumpy, but keeps her integrity and learns how to cherish those around her - the exact same lessons I am still learning.  And at the end, when she leaves Haku behind, she has absolute freedom to continue living for the better.

I'd like to think that certain things find you when you're ready for them at the right times in life.
