What's going on inside your head, your memories and emotions, influence what's going on in your thinking and behavior. In the movie "Inside Out" five emotions are personified: Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger. Joy tries to keep us optimistic and happy; however, Sadness at times creeps in, but we learn to handle unhappiness and stress. Disgust is a reaction to something unpleasant, something that repulses us to avoid. Fear keeps us safe from danger. Anger comes in when we are disappointed and can explode with words and actions.
Personality forms as memories and emotions develop. Some memories are long-term while others fade and are forgotten. Parental influences and friendships add to the way we act and react. Sometimes, we overreact when certain emotions dominate our thinking.
In this movie, we see into Riley's mind as she develops from a baby into an 11-year old girl. She learns to navigate her life and all seems to end well; however, puberty is about to begin. The last words of the movie are "What could happen?"
Let's hope for a sequel.
