to be honest i rally like this show because it shows how much friendship really does affect what you do in life and most importantly for the future. not to mention, right now I'm a 14 year old girl who's already thinking about what i should do for college. being an only child i was told that i could only depend on myself in the end, and so that's why i'm already stressing about it. but the thing is, i don't know where to go, what path i should choose, or anything in general. i want to be a singer and dancer, so basically a performer, but the thought of that alone is too risky. because it might not bring food to the table nor help me and family in the end if it all ends bad. and even if i want to take it seriously, too much people have been telling me to think of a serious job, or to not think that my "hobby" is going to bring me somewhere just like i wanted. but watching this anime really did help me with that. because all this time I've been thinking about me not having any real dreams, and not knowing what to do. and I'm so confused because everyone i know knows what they want and knows where they want to go. even know what college they're aiming for. so while they're all running around doing the things they already know, i was stuck looking at them from behind. and it really frustrated me, just like Haru. and his way of thinking really does hit me hard because even at this age it feels like we're already being pressured about the future. this sounds like a big whole rant but Haru's character and the others helping him even if it was hurting all of them, really made me realize that i do have people who are trying to help me see things more clearly and that i should just follow the path i want to take. not anyone else's, but mine.
