Hello all. I realize this comment might go through unseen and that is fine by me. But if you don’t mind, I would really like to tell whoever sees this a quick story, and a decision I will have to make. I am bad at science. In fact, I am bad at thinking. Call it absent mindedness, call it an unhealthy use of intuition. Either way, I am not a thinker. So it may boggle the mind as to how I ended up in a PhD program in chemistry. There were several mishaps, missteps, and that whole damn 6 years I tried to write a book (still trying, another story for another day). So here I am, a PhD student in chemistry. Honestly, I am afraid of the stuff. Had plenty of bad memories of it from when I was a kid… oh, right. My cousins are also PhD’s in similar fields and my dad is… a PhD in organic chemistry. Wonder how that worked out So it was always kind of funny when I was the black sheep, sort of non-thinker of the family. For what it is worth, I really did try to be logical, but it just isn’t me. But it will have to be. In two weeks, I have a presentation-defense that will decide if I can stay in this program. Chemistry still scares me. Whether it is bad memories or walls of text that refuse to look like English, the damn stuff is scary. And that is okay. I might have failed a million times to be good at this. I might have stumbled and bruised and gotten cut up to get here, but I am here. So many nights I have been up till 2 am fighting to be a half decent researcher. So many nights I fought to stay away and maybe learn something for once. So many nights, I tried and failed. So what is one more time? This ramble is me telling whoever reads this that for years, I have been bad at what my future may very well depend on in two weeks. For my whole life I resisted it, hated it, admired it, wondered why I couldn’t be it, and ran away from it. Not tonight. We drill through the heavens. We push through our limits. We find the other side. Afraid or not, tonight I will get this right. Not in two weeks, but tonight. To whoever made it through that sloppy mess of writing, thank you. Thank you and whatever you want to do, do it. Screw it up as many times as you like but hey, you never know when it will start working.
about 2 years ago i commented about being nervous going to an interview for a job and now? I've been there for 2 years. Still wearing my core drill necklace underneath my shirt every day. <3
I would have liked this soundtrack to play just when Messi lifted the World Cup, it would have reaffirmed that it was the most epic moment in the history of sport.
The only thing that has the power to get me out of depression is Gurren Laggan, For more than 15 years the epic message and music has prevented me from going away, whenever im at my bottom, this always fills me up with hope and will to keep going foward, TTGL literally maintains me alive.
I love this anime so much. I love it so much for so many reasons but above that message of belief and hope. Breaking past your limits, staying true to who you are despite all that is around and succeeding is a possibility. Our world is damaged, full of hurt, sorrow, evil. But hope and faith still remain. Love still remains. Gurren Lagann is lesson on that, and that’s what makes living through it all worth it
Not once, not a single solitary second did Kamina ever lose faith in Simon, find yourself a friend who believes in you just as much as Kamina believed in Simon.
I suffer quite hard from depressive episodes and have considered (but never attempted) suicide many times. But every time I do, I watch Gurren Lagann. The pure energy this anime gives. The raw emotion to strive towards tomorrow, no matter how uncertain, to keep fighting. I can never get enough of it. It saves me when I need it the most. Thank you, Gurren Lagann. Nothing will top you in my books.
A man who fought against fate once said "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann." Thank you, truly. For giving me hope in desperate times, darken days and trying times.
Out of all the songs in Gurren Lagann, while still amazing years later, *THIS* song is what immediately comes to my head finding hope through Simon and Kamina's belief to believe in ourselves always beyond the impossible!
I just know one thing, and that my journey starts now. From this moment on I'll keep on working for the things I care, for the people I love, for the people that believe in me, and for the future me to look back and be proud of what he has accomplished, so he can continue on piercing the skies above. Good luck everyone, because I believe in you.
There’s been a long time for me where I’ve felt rather just empty. I made a lot of choices that left me isolated and without resources to really feel like I could make a change. There are times where I don’t think I can do the things I need to for me and for my son. But somehow, every single time I’m near my wits end, RU-vid always brings this back to me, to remind me to believe in the me that believes in myself. So I hope anyone who has harbors a lot of self doubt remembers that too.😊
Well, the year that just ended was possibly the busiest of my entire life in my short 21 years. After being at the lowest point of my life I was finally able to get up, I may have forced myself to extremes to do so. At the beginning of 2023 I was still at my mother's house, in mid-February I left her house with the little I had and began my true story. I spent two months living in friends' homes until I could find a place to call home. Of course I had nothing at the beginning, I even had to sleep at a desk with nothing but my clothes. But after that I got up, again and again. I built my home from scratch, despite not being in the place where I imagined myself, what surrounded me in July was mine. And when I thought things couldn't get better, I received a call from a school where I could study the career I always wanted. The only "bad" thing about it was that I was in another state, one far from my home, my family and my friends. And this is where Gurren Lagann comes in. I watched the anime long before anything bad really happened to me, before I went into depression. And when it was really bad I even felt unworthy of seeing it, but in that moment of decision I remembered the message of TTGL Keep moving forward So I took what little I could again and embarked on an adventure, one much bigger than just my independence. I have finished 2023 studying the career I always wanted to study, working on something that I am really passionate about, and it has been the hardest thing I have ever done. Studying and working is complicated as you have no idea, but every day I have woken up tired, without desire, wanting to give up, I get out of that bed and give my best face to the world, because every day when I return home I am wishing that the next day will arrive. After so much time, after so much sadness, loneliness, repressed fury, after all that and more I finally feel worthy to come back here, share my story and take my drill. I still have a long way to go, just one semester showed me the titanic task that I will have to carry out in the next 4 years, but this time I am ready, this time I will receive the fists of life and I will hit back with 10 times the force. I will fall, but I will rise again, because the indomitable spirit of the Dai-Gurren brigade overcomes any obstacle that is foolish enough to stand in its path. And for you my friend, who has given me some of your time to read my story, I wish you the best in this life. Things will not always go well, there will be difficult moments, but we can always be better. Remember well, we can always prevail in the face of any adversity. Believe in these words, because they are from someone who believes in you
Thanks for sharing, that was lovely to read, may have gotten a little teary eyed too. I wish you nothing but the best, keep believing in the you that believes in yourself! And thank you, i’ll do just the same, let’s keep pushing through any and all that comes in our way!
Just went through a breakup realizing that I’m 23 and balding broke as hell, quit porn, starting to focus on myself and I’m still marching on to this beat gyming hard and hope that the next time I read this I’m an even better version of myself
Well both shows are polar opposites of each other. One reinforces the idea that you are insignifcant in the grand scheme of things, basically a cog. Other doesn't care whether or not you will be rewarded for your efforts in the end of the day. Despite that they keep on pushing. Simon literally says he would rather continue digging even if it means digging his own grave. TLDR: eva and ttgl are complete opposites. One is about accepting your fate meanwhile other is about confronting your fate and trying to change it even if it means you'll be hurt in the process.
Llevaba tiempo viendo todos los comentarios de las personas que vienen a buscar fuerza en ésta canción, TTGL fue un anime que me ayudó mucho en mi adolescencia y el volverlo a ver siendo un adulto me hizo comprender lo mucho que influyó en mí, nunca pensé ver algún comentario mío, que probablemente se pierda entre los demás pero en este momento estoy pasando por una fuerte ruptura dónde para mí ella era la indicada para toda mi vida, lamentablemente por equivocaciones mías y otros factores ella decidió poner fin a la relación, y a pesar de que aún me ama me dijo que no cambiaría su decisión, es muy doloroso para mí pero estaré regresando a buscar fuerzas en esta canción, el miércoles inicio terapia psicológica para recibir apoyo.
@@daviddeleon4375 Éxito y no lo olvides. Cree en ti mismo. No en el mí que cree en ti. Ni en el tú que cree en mi. ¡Cree en el tú... que cree en ti mismo!
My top 3 anime I can’t lie, and Kamina is my top 1 character, alive for only 8 episodes and he’s this loved, sign of a perfectly well written character, peak show, peak message, it was so ahead of its time.
