I watch a lot of grand and intense stories, but sometimes I also need a simple yet meaningful story which is grounded in reality to make me reflect on my own life. Yesterday, Non Bon Biyori gave me just that
Since I was a child, I gave up on having friends and interacting with people in general. I immersed myself in my science books and novels and never even tried to make friends. This meant that in all my lifetime I could only make a couple of irls, and that was only in highschool
only to lose them after I entered uni.
Non Non Biyori gave me a glimpse into the childhood I could have had if only I had been a little bit more open and less scared of others. It showed me all the simple, mundane, yet meaningful daily interactions that I sacrificed for books

That's why I couldn't help but feel emotional while seeing these little girls living their daily life together. Tripping, falling, and getting back up again. It's sad to know that I never had that but it's also inspiring cause I know I too can make good friends if I try
The way this anime brings out the meaning and the beauty of the smallest quotidian actions also resonated with me a lot.
I ruined my past romantic relationship because after some years partially because I forgot how meaningful every little daily detail with her was

I forgot how important the daily little things were, and eventually got complacent. This series reminded me of how important it is to always see the beauty and the brightness of the mundane things, specially when you live with someone
Finally, this series reminded me that we often have to part ways with people. This is disheartening, but it also means that we have to do our best and make use of every minute we have with them, so we don't have regrets when we say goodbye.
I'm inspired to do my best now!
