Haikyuu Youre So Dear To Me - Tumblr Posts

i am unfortunately utterly in love with the idea of volleyball being a sport where you always look up… furudate writes about this sport with touching words, and i never fail to relate to them while thinking of life. and i also love the idea of going after the ball no matter what, even if you don’t think you can reach it before it touches the ground. i love that you have (and want) to try, i love that you have to keep the ball in the air, i love that you keep your eyes on it and follow it blindly until it’s in the palm of your hand or on the opposite court. i think furudate did a wonderful job with the portrayal of this sport, and i love that the ups and downs are presented in such a positive light. you can transpose any volleyball-related element to life, and that’s why i respect furudate’s work more than one would imagine.

when furudate wrote “today you happen to be the defeated. but what will you become tomorrow?” and then “nothing would ever get started if they didn't first think, 'let’s give it a try.'” and then “he who climbs the ladder must begin at the bottom” and then “we’re not limited to just one way of being great” and then “being weak means that there is room to grow” and then “does losing prove that you are weak? isn’t losing difficult for all of you? a challenge where, after ending up on your hands and knees, you must see if you can stand up again? if you stay on your hands and knees, that proves that you are weak.”
