Healthy Living: The Legend of Korra

I have taken a week off. During this time, I didn't think much about school or future or MCAT. The only thing I really did was catch up on my shows. I bringed watch the Legend of Korra for almost all 4 season in 2 day. It was an amazing series.

I really love the series for some reason and especially fond with Korra. I used to watch the show 2 years ago when I was going through my sexuality crises. I liked her a lot back then because our personality really matched. She acted in the way I can completely relate. In a way, I felt I was very much similar to her.

Now, I have rewatched all of season 1, 3, and 4. I realized that Korra has went through a lot during my absence from the series. While I was fighting my battles in college, she was also fighting her own wars through the series 2,3,and 4. I'm really glad I came back to watch the season again.

She grew so much and she went through so much. She was real to me. She faces fears, doubt, pain, and suffering. Through it all, these obstacles taught her more about life and how to live life. There was a time she ran away from herself because she couldn't face her past and her failures. She encounter fears that has paralyzed her in her own tract.  Korra felt and experience the terror of fear and the pain of suffering. Korra had it rough.

But Korra eventually got back on her feet. She didn't do it alone. She has a lot of help from her friends, mentors, and family. There were people cheering her on and taking care of her during time when she lost herself. Through her difficulties, she learns her lessons. She gain empathy through her own suffering and connected better with people around her. Through her inner struggle, she found herself. Korra is braved and blessed at the same time.

The Legend of Korra helps me reflect on my path. And in a way, I truely connect with Korra. I admires her and want to be somewhat like her. Of course I do not have super power nor am I required to save the world. But I share her responsibility that there are things that I can contribute to this life with my own power. Seeing Korra face her fears and dealt with her failure, she help me realized that also I need to address my own problem.

I hope I can be as strong as Korra on my own adventures. I need to get back on my feet.
