Caught Thunder Cats on the Cartoon Network this afternoon (the ending and the credits, anyway). I was just channel surfing then there it was. It gave me joy...you know... it was one of the cartoons I use to like when I was a kid. I can't remember if I had a favourite cartoon. What I do remember is: one afternoon, while sitting on the grass, in the lawn, I was talking with some kids and my brother I was like, I don't get why adults don't like watching cartoons, and I'll never tire of watching cartoons, I'll still watch them and like them even when I'm all grown up. Hehehe... Now I'm my 9-year-old-self's dream gone wrong. I tried tuning to the Rugrats and I tried picking Angelica for my most liked character but just after a few weeks got tired of it. That's how it goes I guess, you try to hold on to the past, to the present, to everything familiar and cozy but there's just no other way but to move on. You just can't go back. I can never go back. (It's the same realization that hit me when I went to Cebu last September. I know Junice and I will always be friends but I can't go back to that kind of (childhood) friendship we had. What I got was a closure to that part of my past I've been always trying to hold on to). The future is just like some blackhole sucking you in. Luckily, the future is not a blackhole, and even if it's gonna be bleak, I'd like to think I have enough faith and optimism to carry me through.
