Animations and Life.

I still remember those days when animations affected my life. Animations used to influence how neurons in my brain interprets signals. Now, looking back, I think I've lost most of the significant parts of my childhood. Yet, some of the influences have been so great that I can never opt them out from my life. These are some of the animations I used to watch (and probably still will, if I have the chance):

1. Avatar: The Last Airbender


I still can remember how hard I tried
to 'bend' the air while walking from school to the bus stop. This 112-year old kid made me realise that age is very relative. Age didn't matter when he fought and won Fire Lord Ozai, at least.

2. American Dragon: Jake Long


Weirdly, this cartoon is where I got some of the ideas about sacrifices. Sometimes, you gotta think whats best for others, even if you'd lose something you treasure the most. Not only that, the show helps me realise that guidance can come in many forms. It's our intelligence to be aware of them and act accordingly.

3. Teen Titans

One of my all-time favourites! This is the show that has taught me the value of friendship, hope, perseverance, and the need for balance in life. Season 4 of the show made me feel grateful for being blessed with good family and friends. 

4. Legend of the Dragon


One of the many shows I haven't finish watching. I still remember how I used to wake up 8.30 am every Sunday just to watch this show. I gotta admit, I have a thing for dragons and 'natural' superpowers. In this show, I realised that there is a balance for everything, or in other words, the concept of yin and yang. Hint: Ling and Ang in the show. 

5. The Law of Ueki


In other words, never give up in what you are fighting for. =)

In many animated shows that I've watched these are the shows that I think have changed the way I think. What are the shows that have changed you, even to the slightest, so far? Share with me about them by commenting below. =D
