I recognized it instantly. It was a made-up story, a fantasy, the tale of four kids who went through a magic wardrobe and found themselves in a strange new world. I'd read it more times than I could remember, and although I sneered at the thought of a magical land with friendly, talking animals, there were times when I wished, in my most secret moments, that I could find a hidden door that would take us allout of this place.

About This Quote

If you have been to a Disney movie, you will most likely recognize the quote above. It is from the movie “The Lion King” and it is a part of a song called “Circle of Life." The song is said to be a message to the audience, urging them to believe in themselves and their dreams. The message is clear: Don’t give up on your dreams. People who have experienced abuse in life will often say that they wish they could just disappear or that they wished someone would just “get them out of there.” Sadly, those words often come from people who have been abused as children. If someone had gotten them out of an abusive situation sooner, they wouldn’t have had the mental scars from those experiences that cause them to feel this way.
