“WHEN PEOPLE GET HURT, THEY LEARN TO HATE… WHEN PEOPLE HURT OTHERS, THEY BECOME HATED AND RACKED WITH GUILT. BUT KNOWING THAT PAIN ALLOWS PEOPLE TO BE KIND. PAIN ALLOWS PEOPLE TO GROW… AND HOW YOU GROW IS UP TO YOU.” – JIRAIYA

This quote is among one of my most favorite in the Naruto series and honestly speaks volumes on such a deeper level. Watching Naruto as a kid and growing up watching it. These words really are absolute truth. I remember it taking on a whole new meaning as I became an adult. Showing kindness to others even when I was hurt by them. Choosing to show love, when circumstances and pain wanted otherwise. I have thought of this quote and how deep it hits on a fundamental level.

When I have hurt others and have been hurt, I have grown from each experience. Sometimes choosing the right path, sometimes the wrong path. Whether the outcome was good or bad, I have grown and learned from my mistakes. Making me all the wiser and more understanding when I see others or myself in a similar situation. If you haven’t already watched Naruto, please do. It’s worth a watch.

See ya later Otakus!

P.S. Sorry I haven’t been posting as of late. Life sometimes throws curveballs our way, so I have been focusing my time and effort on other things. But don’t you worry, I will be back to posting here soon! Much love to my fellow Otakus!!
