I was watching the 3rd episode of Fruits Basket... it's a bit different from the manga and I read the manga like 4-5 months back... I've always believed... and always been called too trusting too naive... demo... in this episode I came across this part:
"But, my mother told me to believe rather than to doubt. "A person is not born with kindness. Their innate traits are, greed, gluttony, the wish to possess. In other words, they are only the basic surviving instincts. Kindness is the same as growing up, it's like the mind that grows inside oneself. It's a conscience. That's why everyone has a different shape. A desire is born at birth, so it's easy to understand, but kindness is something everyone has to make with their own hands. So it's easily misunderstood or thought of a hypocrisy... Anyone can doubt easily, Tohru, try to believe. Be a person who believes... that will certainly... certainly... become an encouragement to someone."
I replayed this part many times... It made me think of so many things... I have always believed in people... so does that mean I was a help to someone as well ? was I able to be anyone's streangth ? did I help anyone get over anything ? ..... I wouldn't know... but I think this makes me a bit more willing to go on being who I am... I guess... even if it did turn out wrong at times and even if I was fooled by people for believing... I guess... in a way... It'd be better if I continue believing like I do... not everyone is bad... never know... someone just might be going through a bad time and has reacted on whatever... I guess... it's good to believe... I want to go on believing... if it's being naive it's still okay... atashi mou shinjite...

It looks like this blog is 6 years abandoned so maybe this isn't even you anymore. I had an experienceproject account once and whenever I get an email notification about someone replying to something I wrote I usually feel like they're talking to the old me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big anime fan. I've just been watching fruits basket and I like the quotes so far. They're kind of corny but I like them and I'm compulsively googling them in quotation marks. That's how I found this blog.
I hope you somehow find out about this reply but I don't know what's going on in your head. Maybe you're reaction will be like mine. "That's not me anymore I feel silly about what I wrote. Even if you're still an anime and manga fan you might not relate to episode 3 the same way you used to.
It's silly. I'm rambling. I'll subscribe to the newsletter even though there's probably nothing coming. I don't know why I just will.
^^ I had life happen that's why I wasn't able to post much here, a very hyper growing kid, and resuming my studies kind of made life very hectic. I think, I'm still the same person even though I changed in a lot of ways, I still think this series/manga was one of the best ever. most beautifully put together, amazing quotes, and a beautiful touching story line. I still believe that, I rather be someone who believes in people rather than doubt them, this quote this way of thinking has been my way of life for the past many years.
