The other day I went with my family to the movies. My sister has continued to beg my dad all this week to take us to see Inside Out, the new Pixar movie about the girl whose whole head is run by little people with certain roles. There was Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear.

I have to say, from a completely serious standpoint, Pixar definitely did a good job with this one. The concept was unique and the animation was just incredible. Not to mention, the script was funny, heartfelt, and made the audience smile.

After watching the movie, I realized that we all have different command centers in our head. Some let fear run our lives, some sadness, and some anger. I have always tried to be happy my entire life. Told myself that I would not have friends if I wasn't always smiling because people like happy people. I'm always the energetic and positive person in the group because I've always believed that there is no time to be unhappy and why would one want to be unhappy.

The movie Inside Out taught me that to be balanced in life, you can't just have "Joy" running the command center all the time. You need all the other emotions to work too in order to be who you are. I realized that we can't hide the sadness or anger or fear or disgust because we need all of them for our body to function daily. If you bottle the other emotions up, it will cause you to burst later on.

My challenge now is to let the other emotions take their course on a daily basis. If I need to cry I will, if I need to scream in the car at some idiot male who doesn't know how to drive I will, and if I need to be grossed out by the showers in my dorm hall I most definitely will.

I also challenge you all to make the right emotional choices in your life. If you feel like anger controls you, try letting sadness or joy take over and help balance you out.

This doesn't mean that you should give up on joy though because in order to have that real joy, you need to feel emotionally secure. If you can, always try to look on the bright side of things because it will really help when dealing with difficult people or situations.

Also, if anyone reading this blog does want help with their crazy emotions or someone to talk to, I am always here to rant to. Just sound off in the comments below. #stillmissingbingbong
