The next time you see those red slippers—on a T-shirt, in a meme, or as a Halloween costume—don’t just think of a little girl from Kansas. Think of yourself. Think of the time you got through a tough week. Think of the friend who called just when you needed them. Think of the quiet strength that’s been in your closet all along.
Because here’s the truth the movie never says out loud: You don’t need to travel to Oz to find your power. You just need to look down at your own two feet. And if they happen to be wearing something red and shiny? Well, that’s just a bonus.
Now go click your heels. Your home is waiting.
