The disgusting commercialization of cancer so that medical companies can sell their services and products.

I am finally going to begin working on my Bachelor's in Psychology this coming fall. After a decade of being a stay at home mom and wife - I am enrolled at a university. 8O

Why did I have to end up so broken?

it is such a shame that many people in the west don't take animation seriously as a medium - and see it as something befitting of children and little more.

Yes, I absolutely agree. While there have been a few western animated shows that have actually made an effort to tell a compelling story with deep characters - such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Steven Universe - they are unfortunately the exception rather than the rule. :(

had an idea for a story about a battle butler bodyguard being assigned to a princess whom she never sees, and eventually questioning her own wishes in life.

Because we humans are byproducts of our environment and past experiences.

I can't say I agree. I would definitely agree that we are influenced and changed by them. But I personally refuse to be a byproduct of anything. I have more value than that. I think you do, too.

I find "byproduct" to be too limiting and also negative in connotation, as though you're an afterthought and thus less in value, especially when used in conjunction with referring to one's self as broken. The thoughts we have about ourselves are more powerful than we realize, and labeling one's self with something negative only serves to reinforce the negativity and keep a person within the framework of that negativity.
Learning to stop identifying with the past is a big part of therapy and psychology.

If one doesn't agree with my views and opinions, don't agree. We don't have to think the same. But please don't read something in my words that isn't there. I was not insinuating or implying that one can't have value despite how they feel about themselves or others.
