One of my favorite things to do even as at this age is to watch cartoons. I’m one of those people who always get lost anytime they watch cartoons. Sometimes, not even a gentle tap can bring me back to reality. I love anything that has to do with animations, oh except anime. I mean I don’t hate it but I’m just not a fan. But I love fairytales, and all other types of animated movies. Be it Tom and Jerry or whatever.
I remember somewhere in level 100, I spent the Christmas at my cousin’s and while they all left the house to go for this hangout, I stayed back. At a point I got bored of being in my room so I went to the living room to watch tv. After a while, my other cousin who was in senior high school as at that time joined me and asked if I was the one watching the tv. I responded in the positive which caused her to raise her eyebrows.
And I know she probably thought what concerns a university student with cartoons because even she as a senior high school student didn’t want to watch it. The reason is very simple. Cartoons have very nice endings. It might get tough, it might get complicated but at the end of the day, everything becomes okay.
Any Tom and Jerry lover will testify to the fact that, no matter how much these two people fight, they still make up in the end. Anyone who has watched Cinderella knows what happened in the end. Is it Snow White? Beauty and beast? Even Paw Patrol? The incredibles?
They all have one thing in common; an okay ending. And that is what I live by. At the end of it all, everything should be okay. If it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.
Funny enough, my Favourite part of these cartoons are not even when they get what they are looking for or defeat the beast or find the treasure. It’s when they are fighting the beast, when they are on the mission. I know that these things aren’t real but that’s the whole point of it. If even animations can fight for what they want, then how much more we human beings. So for me, I just make sure to do my best each and every day.
I mean there are days my best seem like nothing but doesn’t stop me. If I get tired, I rest. I don’t bother too much about things beyond my control. And sometimes, I just bury myself in these cartoons just to disconnect from reality and also motivate myself. And for some reason, they keep me going and remind me that no matter what happens in life or no matter what is happening, if it’s not okay, if I’m not okay, if I don’t find the treasure I’m looking for or defeat that beast, then it’s not the end.
