The first time I watched Love Live (anime season 1 and 2), it didn't mean much to me. But soon after that (for other purposes), I started doubting myself a lot and I didn't understand much about how I felt. I then decided to rewatch Love Live and suddenly, I felt as if I could connect with the members so much.

Hanayo, for example, loved idols all her life but doubts herself when she was given the chance to become a school idol and join µ's. But in the end she made it as a school idol. It gave me hope that even someone like me can achieve my dreams of being a musician. I want to be like her in that sense.

Rin as well. I've always thought she was really cute and lively, until the episode where she was asked to be temporary leader and the center for Love Wing Bell. I understood how she felt as well. Despite portraying a happy emotion all the time, she actually has low self-esteem and I'm the same. But in the end, she became center and she felt more confident with who she was. I'm trying to do the same and it honestly makes me feel somewhat happier.

Then, finally, I feel like I can take the most from Honoka. When she started µ's, she couldn't fill the school auditorium. It was basically empty. But from there, she, and the rest of µ's worked their way up from there. At the end, the won Love Live!'s second and third competitions and they did that within the year! From nothing, they made it so far. It somewhat inspired me and told me that things won't be so bad and if you try, you can go far. I'm going to do my best and aim as high as them in my school band!

Of course, there's so much more that I take from them as well, but really, I'll end up rambling on and on if I do so.

Love Live! has changed my life in so many ways, I can't even say all of them. They've made me addicted to LLSIF, the anime, their songs, and I just want to thank them. I may never get to see the seiyuu's in person, but I want to say thank you to them for making me feel happy in general.

Basically, Love Live! has made me feel so happy and complete and I enjoy it so much. It hasn't changed my life as much as other people of course, but it means a lot to me. Without it, I think I'd be feeling lost and somewhat empty.

Thank you µ's. :) I love you so much. I'm sad to you leave, but I hope that Aqours will give me the same satisfaction ❤︎
