Thanks to Ghibli and Ocean Waves

Question

So, this is kind of “thank you” post for Ghibli;

it won’t ever cease to amaze how impressed I was left after and during the watch of Ocean Waves. The whole vibe of the town and its characters compelled me to think about how I was living my life. And I know, they are teens and all that, but they were just super chill, and I thought to myself; “I could you use some of that calm in my own life”.

Around a month after that (can’t say this is all due to the movie, but it was the catalyst) I am lying in my bed, doing nothing, like Taku, feeling good, calm, and laughing at how similar my own vibe is to that one of the movie.

So yeah, I know it’s not the main point of the movie (yet it is what impressed me the most) but real thanks to Ghibli and Mochizuki for pretty much changing my life for good.

Did anything similar happen to you with a Ghibli movie? (Or even a movie in general)
