I’d like to say that you are never too old to learn something new, never too old to lose sight of what’s important in life, and never too old to find your way again. True friends are the greatest resource you can have, friends that will help you stay on track in life, help you find your way again, and you will be this greatest resource to them.
I found this show in 2013 during a time when I was headed towards a dark place, knew some people who recommended the show and I checked it out because I wanted something to brighten my mood, I ended up watching those three seasons in two days, and rewatched them over the next month after that, and it wasn’t until I rewatched the Smile Song number that I came to accept that, as a young adult in college, this show for meant for a much younger audience could absolutely still be able to teach me life lessons, remind me of the creed I want to live by, and the way I want to carry myself in life. The virtues that make up the elements of harmony are just that; virtues, virtues that you and I and everyone can practice here in the real world, those virtues are what I strive to make the bedrock of who I am as a person, it’s ok not to be perfect in practice so long as you can find your way back to who you strive to be.
I owe a great deal to this show and the people who had it in their hearts to not just make this show, but to make it special for all these years, everyone who stuck around the whole run, everyone who came later and saw it to the end, and everyone who came before and ed the baton on to others. An earnest thank you to those people, from me. Myself and many others are terribly lucky to have had you touch our lives.
And so now, no matter where things go from here, it’s up to us to continue and hold as champions the virtues that the show championed. Never forget these characters and what they stood for, for as long as you live, my friends.
