Wow I Finally Watched Eric
Unlike our regular scheduled programming of me finally watching a show / movie that's been out for a long time and I'm finally sinking my teeth into it, This is a new show that just came out and I don't know why, but I instantly felt drawn to it.
Actually, I do know why.
Why is Benedict Cumberbatch standing there with a giant furry monster next to him?
I was hooked from there.
It starts off like every childs dream, imagine getting to witness one of your favourite shows first hand and your parent being in the centre of it all? Living the dream right?
Until you fall away from that perfect picture and reality falls into place. Then we all see a story that too many people relate to on an intimate level.
And Children will see whats happening right infront of them and will have a far better understanding of situations, words, circumstances and relationships than we give them for.
Children see so much kindness and Hope, We need to be adults and make sure they can hold onto that for as long as possible. Otherwise, They're going to try take the reigns and escape into a world where there's No fighting, No harsh words and do what they feel is best for themselves.
And then there are some that get taken from us too soon. Where their good heart, Hope for the future, Respect for their home and their people are taken advantage of for the most horrible, Disgusting and incredibly terrible reasons. Where they don't get a choice, They don't get to keep that hope, that light, That childhood. They not only don't get to be a kid anymore, But they don't get to live at all.
But do you know what I think this cores show is really about?
If you know something, so deeply in your heart, and you believe it without question or hesitation, Go after it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, Because no one else can do what you can do.
Even if it tracks you through the mud, It lets you see the bright blue sky, People may lose faith in you but through it all, You know what you're doing is the right thing to do and in the end it will pay off.
Through that experience you’ll find out things about yourself, Meet good people, Bad people and people just trying to survive. You'll bring justice to those that were wronged, Respect to a life that was taken too young and make sure those that bring disgust to a force that's meant to protect. You may even confront your own fears and see your true colours.
You may finally get to let go of your greifs of the past and live your truest and best self.
And yes, Wouldn't it be best to skip all that and get to the happy ending? But then you'd be missing the whole point.
Sometimes, Not always, Life is better for going through it.
(This does not apply to all situations, This is just in context of the show and some experiences in life, No one deserves to be treated like shit, Used or taken advantage of in fiction or real life whether personal or situational growth comes from it or not. Some people can just be really fucked, Deserve to be punished and not forgiven)
