The monsters that disappeared, the monsters that grew up

Everyone has a monster in their heart, those monsters who have supported their childhood, because people are an animal who is born lonely but afraid of loneliness. Longing to be noticed, longing to be loved, longing to be unscrupulous, and longing to dominate. These instincts were shown unscrupulously when we were young, a castle of dreams, a game of good and bad people, an activity doll that can play with an afternoon, and all kinds of things you can remember...

"Can you understand what kind of feeling?" When all your teeth are falling off slowly, it’s so slow that you don’t even notice. But one day, you find that they disappear quickly, and then there is no more tooth left." Sometimes, we can only deal with I said so in my childhood. It was okay at that time. Dad disassembled you and installed the radio. Mom could help you wipe the medicine when you were beaten up.

We thought that we would say goodbye to those monsters quietly. In fact, it was ourselves that disappeared. Those monsters that were sometimes irritable and sometimes quiet became ourselves. But we have not become strong, but often feel lonely in the depths of our soul. We are scared. For this reason, we don't run away anymore. We want to work hard to integrate into this world, we want to find someone we love, we want to buy a house desperately, thinking that it is a strong castle.

Isn't it our life? That deviant bad boy, who longs to live in groups but can't get along with them, does most of the stupid things every day, and a few of the ideal monsters.

One day, with a slightly regretful look, we said to our childhood, "When you go home, will you tell others how good we are?"

"Where the Wild Things Are" is a fairy tale, peach blossoms, white deserts, filled with flowers The castle is peaceful for most of the time, accompanied by exciting music, leaving us to feel the memories slowly.

The appearance of the child wearing Big Big Wolf clothes reminds me of the child wearing a bunny suit in "Strange Boy". The two films that also describe growing up have very different styles, but they have a magical intersection.
