Don't Lose Your Way!

My apologies for the lack of posts, my laptop is currently down due to a broken power cord socket, and it's been interfering with my progress. However, that is no excuse. I've acquired a new laptop and I'm ready to start writing again!

I'd like to share the spotlight to another writer who inspired me to make this post. If you want to check out his blog and the post which inspired "Don't Lose Your Way!" please click here.

 
 
If you're a recent anime watcher, you've probably heard of Kill la Kill. (Kiru ra Kiru) Yeah, it's general idea may sound farfetched; I mean it's an anime about clothes...but when has anime ever been normal?
 
However the main focus of this post is not to discuss the anime. It's more about the messages that comes behind it and the saying it's known for. When Ryuko uses her sailor suit to transform we usually hear the one signature phrase. Yup, that's right. "Don't Lose Your Way."
 
If we listen to the rest of the lyrics of the song, they talk about the bond between Ryuko and Senketsu. (her sailor suit) Yet, this isn't the only thing we can learn from this line.
 
It's all about how fiction can be related to everyday life. I think that somewhere along the road of life we start losing our way. Some people lose it completely, others hang onto it inside. We're social beings, its only natural as we're human. As we live our lives we're surrounded by the ambitions, opinions, and judgments of others, as well as our own. The effects are up to the individual person.
Have you, readers, lost your way? Was there a dream or goal that you've always wanted to reach? Was there something about yourself that you changed because you wanted to fit in? Are you hiding your true feelings? Maybe you're pretending to be someone you're not. Who knows.
 
Whatever the reason is...if you're in the midst of losing your way, please listen to these words: Don't Lose Your Way! If you've lost your way, don't worry there's still time. It's never too late to learn, never too late to change. Regain your way! Take hold of your life and aim for what you believe in!
 
 Don’t lose your way in your mind
We have to be as one
Don’t be afraid my sweetheart
This is the way to be more strong

The Key to Naruto's Success: Empathy

Image
What makes Naruto such a successful person? Many people have examined and discussed his different traits, his personality, and even the values instilled into him. Yet, I think that while we're looking at the core of Naruto's character, we've forgotten something really important. Naruto, has the ability to understand others and their feelings. He can sense the malice of his enemies and the pain of others. Naruto can understand exactly what they went through and relate, enough to become friends with the people he once called foes. While this seems very simple and straightforward, I feel this sort of understanding isn't a normal thing that everyone has. First, let's take a look at empathy. Most of us probably know exactly what sympathy is, when we feel sorry for someone else due to their problems. Empathy is a little different; it can be described as literally feeling other's pain or emotions. While Naruto possesses sympathy, I feel he also has em...

Happy New Year from Shooting Star Dreamer!

Image
Once again, it's the end of the year! Throughout this year, a lot of things have changed for this blog and for me. Though it is harder for me to keep Shooting Star Dreamer consistently updated, I cannot help but make a New Year's post for you all. As New Year approached things have felt somewhat different than before. I feel that the anime community and anime in general has been changing, or perhaps even evolving. Whether this is a good or bad thing, I am not sure. All I know is that it has changed my approach to anime. (and my frequency of keeping up with anime) Something that has not changed though is my tradition of creating New Year's Resolutions. After thinking over my resolutions in depth, I do not believe they are goals to simply be met in the future. If these goals aren't met but are worked towards, then the progress and growth is still there. Completing the goal isn't necessarily the point of resolutions, its just to have a guide to work towards. A...
