Dear Frozen,

Thank you. Thank আপনি for being pretty much the only realistic portrayal of প্রণয় in mainstream media in the last- oh, I don’t know- at least five years.

Thank আপনি for প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে that Hans, the handsome gallant prince of the Southern Isles who seemed a perfect match for Anna is fallible. Thank আপনি for প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে that the idea of a “one perfect match” isn’t necessarily realistic. Thank আপনি for প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে us that প্রণয় is like with Kristoff, how everyone has their rough edges, how no one can fit the mold of perfection. Thank আপনি for reminding us that “everyone’s a bit of a fixer-upper, that’s what it’s all about!” And, especially, thank আপনি for saying clearly that “people don’t really change.” Thank আপনি for being so clear in that প্রণয় is about accepting people, especially their flaws, and not finding someone who fits an ideal.

But most of all, thank you, Olaf, for giving pretty much the only sane definition of প্রণয় any media has প্রদত্ত in too, too long. Thank আপনি for telling us “Love is putting someone else’s needs before yours” in an age of “The best প্রণয় of all is loving yourself,” “You have to প্রণয় yourself before আপনি can প্রণয় others,” and “You have to provide for yourself before আপনি can provide for someone else.” Thank আপনি for reminding us that প্রণয় is selfless. Thank আপনি for the fact that little boys and girls will watch ফ্রোজেন and hear that প্রণয় is about consciously making someone else আরো important and not about making sure you’re fulfilled above all else. Thank আপনি for the truth আপনি gave us that the world has tried so hard to deny. Thank আপনি for reminding us that প্রণয় is, above all, sacrifice.
