What’s a moment in my life that felt like it was straight out of a movie?

My siblings and I often played together in our backyard. We did what we had always done since we were little children—”make something,” as we put it. In other words, pretending we’re in another time and place and we are different people or creatures.

As I have said before, one of my favorite childhood subjects was Kirby and still is to this day. We would often build our stories based on the anime, but develop it. . .whether it be Dedede falling ill with a mysterious malady and Starmonia and her friends discovering the truth behind Escargoon’s schemes, or Tiff and Meta Knight having an honest, heartfelt talk about whatever’s bothering them.

Those were the times—especially the beautiful, raw, emotional scenes we portrayed—that felt as if it could come right out of a movie.
