freedom, choice, and dreams - a perspective of a newbie one piece fan from opla

I am scared of saying what my dreams are. It feels stupid hanging on to something I don't know if I'll ever see come true. These dreams are the ones I hold to my chest, afraid that someone would find it.

Would they treat me with pity? Would they laugh? Would they tell me to give up?

It gets harder to believe in dreams as you grow older. My escape that was books and fandom became reminders that I simply wasn't the chosen one who gets to do something and be someone. I'm the side character that gets killed off in episode 2 in a flashback in someone else's story.

I wasn't destined to be the one who can make change on the world since before I was born like Harry Potter. I'm not the one who gets chosen by a master in the field I love to be his successor like Midoriya Izuku. My parents are not secretly some kind of god like Percy Jackson. There is no wardrobe, no lion, no witch to take me away where I can finally be somebody.

I'm just me, a nobody, stuck in a house haunted by my ghosts, with my dreams out of reach. The stories that used to be my escapism start to feel like painful reminders.

And then I watched the One Piece Live Action. For the first time in a long time, I saw adults who were not the chosen ones, on the wrong side of power, stuck in everyday monotony.

They were surviving, but they weren't alive.

If you look in the mirror, would it sound more familiar?

The One Piece Live Action showed me characters who have beautiful dreams and yet, don't believe that they could ever reach them? By all means, how would they? Nami was stuck in a situation she had limited control over her freedom, Usopp was literally all alone and no one believed him, Sanji was held back by obligation and realism, and Zoro was lost wasn't strong enough. Heck even Koby was stuck on a ship being mistreated with literally no way to escape.

And then Luffy came around.

Luffy, the goofy embodiment of freedom, joy, silliness, and has the emotional intelligence the size of the entire ocean.

He showed them that there was a choice. You had the choice to believe that you can reach your dreams. He showed them that no dream was too crazy, too big, too small, too unimportant. You deserve to make it a reality.

Immediately I was hooked. Diving into the manga, I think that what Luffy does is gives the space to people to let their heart want their dream.

And then he fights for them.

Think about what's stopping you from reaching your dream. Is it money? Support? Access to power? Strength? Knowledge?

Fighting for your dream isn't as pretty as faith, trust, and pixie dust. It's brutal. It's heartache. It's sacrifice. But most of all, it's never giving up, even when you're broken.

The Straw Hats show that having the freedom to chase your dreams isn't a lonely journey. You need to lend a hand to people on the way there, and they will do the same for you.

On the other side of this idealist dream chasing optimism, One Piece beautifully shows the harsh reality, that some dreams won't be reached in your lifetime. But like Gol D. Roger, Red Leg Zeff, Otohime, maybe, just maybe, you can help someone else reach that same goal you had. We will all die someday, but our dreams can live forever. And isn't that a beautiful thing?

The Straw Hat Pirates unapologetically declare their dreams out loud, not afraid of what anyone else has to say about them.

Maybe I should take some advice from them.

👟 I'm going to find a way and be able to continue my education.

JUST FEEL IT//CHAPTER 24

With time the pain of the two would dissolve according to the media, the two knew that the pain was the feeling now both physically and mentally, a child was something that the two had had in their dreams. It was the chance for the two to fulfill their dreams and settle down, everything was ready, clothes, house, money, and it wasn't even for the money but for the son. The pressure on Y/n was even greater than Robert's was things and troubling sensational headlines even, it was things like: "She was too weak", "It was all her fault", "She deserved more". The whole world knew about the loss but they only welcomed Robert for his position, in addition to the machismo and prejudice about the girl her name was being used on several horrible occasions, a mother always wants the good of her child and even if it hurt a lot, Robert and S /n knew that the best thing for little Harry was for him to go in peace. Y / n is now the mother of an angel who looks at her from above every day and keeps her face and little body in memory of her. 1 month of the loss and they were still reporting on websites, magazines, gossip newspapers and just listening to Robert's part. He is not to blame and positioned himself in various situations about what he wanted or did not want to say, he returned to smoking and drinking, he had promised in his beloved's pregnancy that he would not do anything like that to preserve the health of the beloved and her angel. They buried the little one and it was the image they will never forget. Some famous and friends of the two manifested and left their condolences to the couple, Y/n's parents returned to Brazil and insisted the little girl to go with them to clear her head but she didn't want to. Since then Robert has given her as much love and tried to be strong but the mother misses her son, they no longer have the intimacy of intimacy, sex, touch, they were not prepared for that. Maybe someday there would be a chance to have another chance to be happy again. Y/n spent a lot of time in the hospital, postpartum depression was the cause, crying coerced by the fear of going out on the streets and being attacked. She never deserved this and neither of them could do anything. Robert's parents always supported them both, his sisters knew HOW hard it was for both of them, Y/n's friends too. They won't go through life together but their hearts will be together even if the world ends, Robert Pattinson and Y/n Arantes will ALWAYS love each other. ⎯ How was your day? ⎯ Noah asks her friend next to Robert ⎯ It was normal. ⎯ Noah knew that his friend was gathering all her strength to answer ⎯ Tell me about yours. ⎯ Anna and I went to the park today, you should have gone ⎯ he replies and she looks down sadly ⎯ But I'm glad you had this big guy here, huh. ⎯ Yeah, glad he was here ⎯ she replies and settles down next to him ⎯ Did you meet anyone? ⎯ Yes and no, well it was a glimpse ⎯ Noah responds and looks at Robert ⎯ Are you okay? ⎯ Huhm ⎯ he replies, Robert was recovering better than Y/n just like she was when he needed her. ⎯ Tell me more ⎯ Y/n asks her friend to smile because she is interested It was few moments that Y/n was interested in something, Robert wished his mind was too busy not to think about what had happened, Noah was her best friend and he came every day to see his friend and try to cheer her up. ⎯ How did she spend the night last night? ⎯ It was a small advance, the doctors said she is starting to accept it but it's too early to say anything about it ⎯ Rob responds by covering his beloved in bed ⎯ This shit they're talking about her is so cruel, how can they think something like that about the girl ⎯ Noah wanted to cry now ⎯ Take care of her Robert, she's still very hurt. ⎯I am caring. But was Robert weak too?, had he gotten over the death of his son?, or, he just hoped that someday his life would be normal. The day in Los Angeles was even a little too cold for the temperatures there, Robert walked covered in the icy streets, it was the warmth he wanted so much at

the moment the warmth he would have today in the arms of his baby. Everyone recognizes him but respects him for the moment until he stops at a corner bar, Robert Pattinson is just like us, a human being who suffers and drowns his sorrows in drink like any other adult. He sat on the bar stool, one girl the other with the wild look of someone who just wanted sex, the bartender looked at him and looked at her. ⎯ What do you want? ⎯ he tells Robert ⎯ I just want a drink that I can forget about some things ⎯ he asks and receives one of the strongest ⎯ Serve me the same as him ⎯ Robert looked at the beautiful girl who was beside him looking at him ⎯ Cheers. ⎯ Cheers ⎯ Robert wasn't there anymore, he was wrong and wrong A LOT there now ⎯ Mr Pattinson, I never thought you would ever be here ⎯ she says ⎯ Nice to meet you, Yara. Robert didn't know, Yara was someone very close to him and even more to Y/n. He didn't know Y/n's stepbrothers for obvious reasons, probably because he never asked himself and was very interested, Y/n wasn't very interested in this part of his family either. But she knew that as prevalent as Robert seemed to her, we all have our fantasies about something or someone that doesn't belong to us. Yara had lusted after Robert since she was 12 years old and he was twice as old as hers, she always thought Y/n shouldn't have Robert in her bed every night, his sex, his dick going deeper and deeper into her. your sister". It was her choice to do this, how far this would go. She didn't want sex, she wanted him.4obertrobert Pattinson
