WHAT I LEARNED FROM HAIKYUU
Hinata: You taught me that hard work really pays off. The raw talent was always there, but you faced so many hardships and had trouble showing what you're capable of. You weren’t what people called a geniuses, and you weren’t considered the best, but that never stopped you from reaching your goal and look at where you are now. Greatest decoy, you taught me to never give up, even when the odds are against you. There were many moments in my life and talks with people close to me I had that had me doubting myself. That made me feel like I wouldn’t get anywhere in life. I learned that with enough work and determination, you WILL make it.
Kageyama: You taught me that it takes time to become the person you were meant to be. You were alone and ignored by your teammates because of the attitude you had. You might have continued volleyball but you felt discouraged. Maybe you didn’t realize it when it was happening, but you were starting to grow and mature and I saw that whenever you had new games, practices. You kept doing what you loved and you found your people. People who cared for you and had your back, and you become the person everyone knew you were on the inside. I was like you at some point too and I had lost a lot of friends, but seeing you grow into the wonderful person you are today gave me hope.
Oikawa: I make so many jokes about hating you, but you taught me one of the most valuable things to me. You taught me to always do my best and more into everything I do. You gave it your all but never made it to nationals once…… but look at where you ended up. Look at where you are now. Look at where YOUR hard work got you. You did it, after all these years you did it. I had a period of time where I was depressed and I let my studies suffer because of it. When i found myself having to make up all that work, all those classes just so i could graduate, my mind came back to you. I pushed myself so hard and I did it. I graduated. I honestly didn’t think I would but I did. For the rest of my life i’m going to give it my all in everything I do, and never give up even if i don’t get my end result now. Because I know in the long run it will be worth it.
Akaashi: Maybe this one is a bit silly but you taught me how to be a better friend in a way. I was in a toxic relationship and it was making me a terrible person. The people closest to me never stopped supporting me, but I wasn’t treating them like I knew I should have. You knew Bokutos’ weaknesses so well and knew just what to do to cheer him up. I learned how to actually pay attention to my friends and their feelings better than I was doing before.
Sugawara: Overall, you taught me to just have a positive outlook in life. You were always so selfless and even when you weren’t picked to be starting setter, you continued to be a team player through and through. You supported your teammates no matter what, and you still worked hard despite not being regular. Even if i don’t get my way sometimes in life, that isn’t any excuse to have a bitter view towards the world and others.
Kuroo: This one is also a bit short but you taught me to follow my heart and do something I love. You loved volleyball and just wanted to share that love with the world. You just wanted everyone to see how fun it is. I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life and was unsure of where I would go. Thanks to you, I found something I enjoyed and I'm going to stick to it. I’m going to make it into a career for myself.
Osamu: You were such an incredible volleyball player, but you didn’t go pro. Instead you went into the food business. I was good at things that had the potential to allow me to go into other careers, but it wasn’t what I wanted to do. However, you were the example in my life that showed me that just because you’re good at something, doesn’t mean you need to make a life out of it. Just like kuroo, you taught me to just do what I love. You taught me that before anything else, make sure you live happily.
Asahi: You taught me that sometimes it’s okay to have your moments where you’re insecure, and you’ve felt like you’ve hit rock bottom. For sometime you didn’t return to volleyball, but when you did, you went on and did amazing things with your team. You became the ace you always were. You taught me that even if I have moments where I give up, even if I have my moments where I let my insecurities win, I can always bounce back and get through it.
Tsukki: Now you… YOU had a let character development. Deep down you loved volleyball but locked away those feelings because of what happened when you were younger. Look at you now tho Mr. Pro volleyball player. You taught me that even if i face hardship at some point in my life, that i can still find happiness in the future. It’s okay to let myself be happy. After my toxic relationship I never thought I'd date again. When I found myself in a good relationship again I didn't want to admit it, and became distant. I didn’t let myself be happy because of my past. However here I am in one of the best relationships I've ever been in. You taught me that at some point, it’s okay to stop denying my own happiness.
These are lessons that I learned from these characters that I hold dearest to my heart, but EVERY single character brings something to the anime and to the lives of other people. Thank you Haikyuu and thank you Furudate for giving me one the greatest sources to my happiness. Thank you for being the reason I have @yumeqo , who is one my closets friends today. I would have never became so close to her if we never had bonded over Haikyuu the way we did. This might be the end but Haikyuu for will always have a special place in my heart.
(Shoutout to @kei-kui for giving me the idea to make this, as you made you own thank you post as well❤️)
So with that being said, i’m going to take what i’ve learned and fly higher.... 💕
