Friends

"I want to laugh when you laugh
I want to have fun when you have fun
I want to grieve with you when you're grieving
When you are sad, I want to cry with you
That's what a friend is, right?"
-Maki Horikita in Hana Kimi

MAKI-CHAN~~~ COME BE MY FRIEND!! *jumps in her arms*

Although Hana Kimi didn't stir me in any way at the beginning, I realized as the episodes went on (especially the last few episodes) how the whole theme was really about the importance of friendship.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living such a futile life, but when I look back at all the memories, I realize what a full life I already have. (realization: accomplishments really don't matter, in the end it's the people and places that remain embedded in your heart and soul. Just like the saying, "It's not the destination that counts...It's the journey that matters the most." ...Or however it goes.)

At this moment I am once again grateful of the living being I am.

Anyways...IKUTA TOMA, AISHITERU YO~~~
