Why Kiki’s Delivery Service is important for flailing 20-somethings like myself and why this movie makes me cry happy tears:

-Kiki goes out into the world and realizes how bad some people can be, but she still tries to do good
-She knows she’s wants to be a helpful witch but she doesn’t really know what to do with her witchy powers
-She literally loses her powers after becoming very depressed with this knowledge and feeling like she’s not a good enough person or a good enough witch
-She realizes that she may not be doing anything “great” or “cool” like other witches but she’s actually really successful because she uses her powers to help people and start her own small business
-Miyazaki is trying to show us that because Kiki is kind and helpful and stays true to herself then that is what makes her incredibly successful
-Sometimes we need reminders in our life that we can be successful in many ways

-She learns that it’s normal to have bad times and feel lost and that’s okay as long as you work through them, because you come out better after it all.
