"I have no strength, but I want it all. I have no knowledge, but all I do is dream. There's nothing I can do, but I struggle in vain!” -Subaru Natsuki this quote never felt so real for me… I felt so worthless i wanted to end it all a year ago and sometimes I still feel worthless.

Re:Zero was painfully reflective for me. I used to want to be able to relate to the experience of the characters I like or vice versa (i.e. a character who faced similar situations like me), but after experiencing that feeling firsthand, I realized it was NOT something desirable. Subaru’s inner turmoil hit me hard in ways I’ve never felt before with a character. The desperate, burning, hellishly painful desire to be wanted and matter to others. Putting on a mask you think people want to see so that you will/might be accepted. Wanting to go back and undo your mistakes. Thinking you are for the interests of others, but in reality, it’s people-pleasing so that you can fill your inner-void. Subaru’s struggles resonated with me so much that I would’ve thought my rawest emotions wrote a character based off the parts of me I try so craftily to hide. So yeah…I deeply relate to Subaru Natsuki 😅

Part of the whole reason I became a perfectionist in the first place was because of Midoriya himself. I watched MHA for the first time in 6th grade and I realized that Deku was everything I wanted to ever be. He was smart, physically strong, and above all, the definition of a hardworking man that fought for those he loved. I started taking school more seriously, I began to work out, and become the best version of myself I could be so I could help those in need. At first it was a good thing that changed my life, but eventually it developed into an unhealthy obsession with becoming perfect. Now I have horrible anxiety and depression from it as well as terrible body dysmorphia. It got so bad to the point where one of my best friends told me I have a stick up my ass a few days ago.<br><br>I’ve been working on getting myself out of it and letting myself rest once in a while but it’s definitely been rough.

Reasons why Subaru is my favorite anime character and ReZero is my favorite story. I used to wonder why he was my favorite. Until I realized he is somewhat of a reflection of my life. Good video man.

Don’t be fooled. None of these feelings will ever ‘go away’ nor do they just disappear. They will always be there. You just choose not to listen. Hope this helps.
