We all take in lessons for the things that surrounded us on a daily basis. It can come from those you love, it can also come from the things you love. Here is a list of top five lessons, in no order, that the animated has taught me.

1. “Even if I can’t see you...no matter how far away you may be...I will always be watching over you. I’ll definitely watch over you forever.” - Makarov Dreyar, Fairy Tail

The quote correlates to the signal of the hands within the picture. Right hand up, palm facing yourself with your pointer finger standing tall and thumb standing out. It tells you that someone will forever be in your heart, no matter where the world will take them. It tells you that you will always remember, you won’t forget and you’ll be wishing for the best.

2. “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” - Emperor of China, Mulan

An iconic movie, Mulan teaches plenty of lessons within just its running time but this quote proves to me to be the strongest of the movie. Someone who learns of themselves and becomes a beautiful person in the struggle of it all will always radiate a sense of beauty. It's rare to find a person like this because some don’t grow while going through a struggle and that’s why you must climb because you would even want to knock yourself down but don’t. Be rare and beautiful.

3. “There is no need to feel despair for with death comes hope and rebirth.” - Sailor Saturn, Sailor Moon

A classic, a beautiful animated classic, Sailor Moon. First premiered in the 90s, the character that is given here is Sailor Saturn in her reanimated form Sailor Moon Crystal. I feel as though those who have lost someone can feel this quote more than others, but then those who are willing to embrace the inevitable fate of death can as well. Needing no explanation, the quote can speak for itself. Nothing ends with death, there is more and there will always be more. Even after the end.

4. “The head may err but never the blood.” - Atsushi Nakajima, Bungou Stray Dogs

Ah, this quote is a tricky one. The character is actually based off of a Japanese author with the same name and the quote is from one of his books. It, the quote, holds a strong meaning and tells you that going with your head is not always okay. By err, Nakajima-san is talking about how your head made me confused due to hesitant nature of doing the wrong thing but your blood can never go wrong as its thoughts are consistent. Does it make sense? Instead of being complicated, the quote is saying that your head might be hesitant and confuse your actions but your blood is going to tell you the right way. I’m going to take it as to go with your gut feeling.

5. “No matter how foolish or incomprehensible, some love cannot be discarded. You may try to stop your heart, unable to forgive yourself, but there will be times when you lose hope as your heart is moved again.” - Ik-soo, Yona of The Dawn

This quote speaks so much volume that nothing is needed to explain.

All of these animated characters have taught me lessons and help guided me in a personal struggle, as foolish as it might sound. There are plenty of other quotes from series, movies and so much more that do not come to mind as of right now. However, I wouldn't mind creating more of these!
