- After coping with homework for three hours, I suddenly stroked by the feeling I had last May, in which I was still at high school, with the perspiration of study, striving for my own dream. Clannad was refreshed in my memory too. Our classmates were forever discussing this Japanese animation then, and I did not understand exactly why we were crazy with the forty-eight-series at that intense and special time. Maybe it was just because the protagonist was like us, a normal high school student, who represented our initial dreams we once had when we just enrolled in school.
- The story was about the protagonist, Okazaki Tomoya, who was a rascal of his school and always skip classes with his friends, run into a girl named Nagisa Furukawa on the long long path leading to the school. On the path which was full of Sakura, he accompanied her every day, and after a series of incidents, they finally got married and went with more stories. The plot was not like that of stereotype dramas. I even reckoned it as what really happened before. However, what touched us most is the principle behind it---having the courage to pursuing true love and treasuring everyone who you love or loves you.
- In high school, heavy burden of studying occupied my mind, thus accompanying with our relatives and friends seldom, if not never, presented in my schedule. Neither did I have the time and courage to start unknown journey of love. At present, looking back to the experience before, I gradually realize that maybe it is time for me to do something significant, but was forgotten for a long time. That is, sparing a little time every day, to attend the one I treasure and love.
If you`re not ready to start on "your journey of love",don`t have to push yourself to pursue it unless that someone has already come into your life. The time will come without you having to consciously focus on it. These Japanese animation series sometimes do not convey the right message. Remember,it`s really just fantasy--not reality!!
ReplyDeleteRecent life reminds me of the life in high school too. However, study is important but not all. Love...what is true love? Just an experience or something lasts long? I agree with Maureen that don't have to push yourself. But I also think bravery is needed during the process of finding your true lover.
ReplyDeleteMaybe love is not what you can get consciously; you may encounter her in someplace or find her standing out around you sometime. I believe love will be a charming process if you find the right one. Invite her to be in your life, I wish you, sincerely.
ReplyDeleteI believe that when we truely love someone, we can do anything for them without consciousness. I also believe that all of us can find the true love belonging to ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI love animation.hehe...
ReplyDeleteI have seen Clannad before but not finished.It is Japanese style--beautiful,constant and pure love.I think this kind of love may be everyone's dream.Even though it is not realistic, sparing a little space for it is also kind of sweety.hehe...
Anyway, donot push yourself so hard.Love may come by something with luck but not by searching for it.:)
I do not love animation.
ReplyDeleteBut I suppose your essay reminds anyone of their senior school time.At that time,there is something in my mind to power up me that I give my sleep up,give my dinner up, and concentrate all myself to my study in order to get a good acdemic performance in our exam. I reckon that "something" we called love.This love we can lay on everything like my family,my girlfriend,and the most remarkable I think can be our dream.
