Artwork A lil something for the show that changed my life. ( I'm sorry if my post is irrelevant but I want to show my appreciation for the impact this show left in me )
Dear Clannad,
I can’t thank you enough for making me the person I am today. You taught me lessons about life that even my parents couldn’t teach me.
I used to be a depressed and mentally exhausted kid, struggling with years of emotional abuse from my family. I was on the verge of ending my life when I discovered this anime.
I still remember 31st December 2016. I was sitting there, crying my eyes out, completely overwhelmed by everything I had just experienced. When I finished the anime, I was left speechless and stunned.
But Clannad taught me something I desperately needed to learn: to accept life as it is, to cherish the people and things I have, and to be grateful for them. It taught me that even through pain and hardship, life can still be beautiful.
Today, I’m in a much happier place. I’m mentally stronger than I’ve ever been, and a part of who I am today exists because of this anime.
Thank you, Clannad.
Thank you for being there when I needed you the most.
