Hello, Internet. This is Rican speaking. Today, I want to talk about drama. It plays a huge role in our lives, and we can always learn something from these stories.
I have had the same problem as Ted Mosby, a character from How I Met Your Mother. The whole story is about how Ted finds his true love. He meets many women and tries to spark a connection with them. Despite experiencing the worst heartbreaks, he never gave up and kept moving forward. That’s the inspiration—just do it without too much overthinking. You might get hurt, but you'll learn something from those experiences, and that’s the burn. The feeling is so intense, it's as if you ate the spiciest hot pot and the next day you're sitting on the toilet thinking, “That was a terrible idea. Why didn't I just order the mid-level spicy? Ahhhhh, here it comes, damnnnnnn, I wish I had never been born.” That kind of burn.
On the other hand, you learn lessons and grow from these experiences. When you fail, you stand up and try again. Each time you stand up, you improve, absorbing your mistakes as nourishment. Your resilience grows stronger, allowing you to handle even the hell-level of spicy hot pot. Maybe next time, you’ll be able to swallow a fireball. It might make you seem inhuman, but I would still be proud of you.
I’ve been there. I know what it feels like to have a crush, fail, and feel depressed. You try harder, and harder, and harder. We don’t need answers; we just need to fix, improve, and accept ourselves. One day, we will see the most beautiful sunrise we’ve ever seen. But honestly, if I have to wake up early for a sunrise, I'd rather spend that time on breakfast—like a tuna sandwich—that would motivate me more if there was a breakfast shop near the sunrise spot. I mean, they have to sell seafood, right? If you want to watch the sunrise, you might go to the beach. My apologies, I almost forgot what we were talking about.
Oh, right, drama. I’ve learned a ton of love values and beliefs from How I Met Your Mother. Barney Stinson teaches so many things to Ted and me. It feels like we are learning together. The first and most important thing is to love yourself. Before you can love someone else, you need to know how to love yourself. When you’re deciding on dinner with someone, you should always bring your opinion instead of saying, “up to you.” You should always bring your partner to eat the spiciest hot pot to show them the importance of decision-making if they say “I don’t know, whatever” about dinner. Now, this might be a bit personal, but I love doing it as a pressure lesson. My friends always have good opinions about meals because my incredible options are harmless to me but always challenging for my friends.
In conclusion, we all learn lessons from real-life experiences and find happiness in certain dramas. Some dramas have changed my life because their stories touch my heart and inspire me, even though they are mostly fictional. The feeling of “I want to have this life as well” gives me tons of motivation to keep moving forward. I hope it does the same for you.
I’m Rican, and I’ll see you next time, Internet.
