How nice it is to discover, amidst the chaos, a moment where everything makes sense or just doesn't matter. To be able to laugh without thinking. To feel... peaceful.
"That lovely bittersweet pain brings back fond memories. I want to make it last forever and I will do whatever it takes." - [english translation] Shigure, Fruits Basket
It's been a rather mellow, whimsical day for me... but then, reading Fruits basket always makes me feel like that. I get funny thoughts, questions... Questions like...
When was the last time you said sorry to a person? Or thank you? It's funny, but... I'd bet for most people, sorry isn't a word often said. For some, thank you isn't something often said either... And then there Touru (protagonist) is, thanking everyone and being grateful for every little thing; being able to smile through everything. And everyone asks themselves, how? How is it she's able to look happy and grateful even though she keeps giving and giving? Sometimes it makes me want to cry. It's quite a beautiful balance of humour and sadness.
