New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
There is a particular Disney longing — bright, slightly desperate — and this wish wears it well.
She trades quiet for noticed, and the trade-off plays out in three musical acts.
May every girl who hums this wish find out being herself was the better headline.
She wishes to be popular; the script wisely waits two reprises before disagreeing.
Disney teaches that wanting to be loved by everyone is the long way to being loved by yourself.
