Wonder Park

[Olinick]

Yesterday I went to see the movie, Wonder Park. I know people are not necessarily liking the movie but as someone who suffers from PTSD, anxiety and depression I found the movie a motivating story. In the story a girl and her mother create a place called Wonder Park. Eventually her mother gets sick and has to go away. The girl is felling angry, sad and depressed and puts away everything about Wonder Park. She ends up in the park only to find it a mess, with Chimpzombies attacking the park animals. In time the girl realizes she caused the problems but giving up on the park. She and the animals fight together to make the dark cloud go away. At the end the park is back to normal but the dark cloud still hangs there. The girl says the dark cloud is there to remind us to always try to look at the bright side of things and not let the darkness take over. As someone who always refers to the periods of depression as the dark cloud I found this symbolism great. I know when that dark cloud comes back into my life it isn't always easy to make it go away but it is something I can carry in my mind to help me through the dark times. The darkness is always going to be there for us but with help we can keep it in the distance and see the sunshine. Today is a day for me to see the sunshine. I hope it is for all of you as well.

Without darkness we wouldn't appreciate the light. 😉
