I didn't watch Inside Out 2 in theaters . I watched it on YouTube , through the Mistake Redeemed channel , and you know what..? That alone was enough to make my heart feel like it was being slowly crushed .

This movie is not just an animation for kids . It's like a subtle reflection of what's going on inside our heads , especially when a new character named Anxiety appears . It's so relatable... so touching .
•From Joy to Anxiety : Our Emotions Mature Too
Riley is now a teenager , and like many of us , her life is getting more complicated . What was once Joy , Sadness , Anger , Fear , and Disgust - now comes an army of new emotions . And Anxiety is immediately dominant . He speaks fast , his eyes are big , and his energy is high like after drinking 5 cups of coffee .
From the video I watched , it really felt like Anxiety wasn't an evil character .. It's like an emotion that has good intentions , but makes us overthink , stressed , and sometimes even stuck in place .
•Even though it's only through YouTube, the emotions still arrive
I watched it on the Mistake Redeemed channel and it was quite powerful. Some scenes in the video made me feel like I was looking into my own head. Riley trying to be someone else to be accepted... duh, it's an old story that is still repeated often.
I've been in that position. Where I pretend to be happy, pretend to be strong, but in my heart? It's chaos. And this movie-even though I watched it on YouTube-is reminding me to slowly make peace with my own feelings.
•Anxiety is not an enemy , but an alarm...!
Anxiety sometimes arises at important moments : when you want to make a decision , when you feel inadequate , or when you realize the world is moving too fast . It's like a friend who panics but actually loves us.
And through Inside Out 2 , I learned one important thing : not all anxiety needs to be banished . Sometimes we just need to listen to them , talk to them, and not reject them outright .
•Learning from Colorful Emotions
Pixar is good at incorporating the concept of emotion into simple yet profound visuals. Even from the YouTube video, you can feel the increasingly complex vibe of Riley's control room. Anxiety's hair that looks like tangled wires, her anxious expression, everything makes us think, "I have her in my head too."
•Messages that Get stuck in the Head...!
What stuck with me the most was : that being human is complicated , but that's not a bad thing . We have many voices in our heads , many feelings in our hearts , and they all want to be heard . This movie reminded me not to be too hard on myself .
We don't always have to be the perfect version...Sometimes it's by accepting our fears , anxieties , and failures that we get to know who we really are...
•Let's chat : Have You Ever Had Anxiety Too..?
Do you ever feel like your life is controlled by a lot of emotions...? The voices in your head fight for the mic , and the loudest one is Anxiety...!
I want to hear your experience too . Because sometimes conversations like this can help us feel : "Okay, I'm not alone."
•Final Thoughts: Thank You Pixar & Mistake Redeemed
I thank Pixar for making a film that can even touch the YouTube screen. And thank you to the channel Mistake Redeemed, for giving access to this movie for people who can't see it in theaters.
For those of you who haven't seen it yet, and maybe you're overthinking or feeling empty, try clicking on the video.

Sometimes, life lessons come from simple things. And this movie is one of them.
This movie may be animated, but the message is profound. And sometimes, it's not the action scenes that make us realize, but the little voice of emotion that we've been ignoring.
