Here's yet another Aria related post. One of the main reasons why I love this show is because the ideas and morals shown in almost every episode is easily relatable to what I'm planning on becoming in the future, a nurse. But it can be relatable to anyone who is currently doing some sort of practice or training to become something that they want to be. Not only is it relatable, but it's very thought provoking and uplifting.
This is only from episode one, but it's a really good one that I had to share. If you've never watched Aria before, just know that Akira, Alicia, and Athena are the seniors in this show, while Aika, Akari, and Alice are the apprentices.
Akira: "Sounds like the three of you realized that you still have a long way to go."
Aika: "We sure did. I feel kind of depressed because of it."
Akari: "Let's do our best, Aika."
Aika: "Of course we will."
Alicia: "It's true that the three of you have a long way to go."
Alice: "Alicia."
Alicia: "But, so do I. Akira and Athena too. We all have a long way to go. Right?"
Athena: "Yeah. You're right."
Aika, Akari, and Alice: "Eh?"
Alice: "That's really a shocker."
Akari: "You're already so amazing, we could never catch up to you."
Aika: "She's right! So then, when are you going to be satisfied with yourself, Akira?"
Akira: "Probably never. No matter how much better I get. No matter how long I continue this job. If you believe you've reached the top and become complacent, you can't move forward. That's why I think it's really important to believe you still have a long way to go."
Alicia: "Yes. 'Tomorrow, I'll shine much brighter than I did today.' That's something you want to believe about yourself"
Athena: "That feeling will probably never change, even if you become Primas. Even after you step off your gondolas for the last time, that feeling will still be there."
Akira: "Maybe that's how everyone finds their own brilliance?"
Alice: "Their own brilliance…"
Akira: "In other words, it's only natural that you still have a long way to go."
Athena: "That's right. And that's something very wonderful."
Alicia: "Maybe it's best to just cherish yourself and the journey ahead, and have fun along the way?"
Aika, Akari, and Alice: "Yes."
