Kiki’s magic

I remember watching this animation where kiki the teenage witch learnt that magic was not something that she possessed from birth, rather it was something to be earned and gained.
I never quite understand the theory behind this when I watched it for the 1st time.

Why did she lose her magic? The ability which she’s suppose to hv since birth? Isn’t it supposed to be in her and work all the time when she needed it?

This is after all, not a story about self-discipline, practice makes perfect, or warning ppl not to take their talents for granted that sort of thing. It is about believing, believing strongly that you need and have control on the ability. Even if you are gifted, if you hv no idea why do u hv it in the 1st place or why do u need it, then chances r, it will slip away.

It is perhaps time to find out, why we used to be good in something, but is no longer good in something.
