![]() I’ve recently come to the conclusion that Pretty Cure has given me a vision, an inspiration, a desire… I was recently told something about myself that not even I had realized. Mixing messages, I discovered that I wasn’t who I wanted to be, so I decided to become my “would-be self.” At the same time, I had been following Shugo Chara! as well. Something about the messages they were conveying helped me realize my own true desires. I may have been a 17 year old high school boy, but I loved Pretty Cure. I had found a connection, an outlet, a resource I could enjoy and relate to. When I was introduced to Pretty Cure, I knew something had been sparked in my heart. I was watching over my family, my friends, and anyone I crossed paths with. While most of my brothers and sisters were focused on sports, friends, and their own selves, I was always looking out for others. I lost myself in the depths of love, magic, and adventure within these animes. I was fascinated by a magical world of anime that could have any number of things occur that wouldn’t normally do so in real life. I began watching animes such as Detective Conan, Inuyasha, and Cardcaptor Sakura. I began expanding my library, reading Magic Knight Rayearth, DearS, Mermaid Melody and others. I read all twelve volumes, and fell in love with it! I read it over and over again, taking in the emotions Sakura and Shaoran experienced. I was introduced to anime when I was 12 years old by a friend from school. I’ve had everything I’ve ever wanted handed to me and even so… I’ve still felt sadness, despair, and loneliness… I grew up between two countries, private schools, and in a wealthy neighborhood in California for the most part of my later childhood. I come from a strict French family of divorced parents, both of whom are quite affluent. I’m fairly shy, quiet, and introverted unless my friends Vodka and Tequila kick my butt into gear! I’m gay, single, and have had a seemingly “normal” love life, social life, and overall life. I’m 22 years old, currently studying in Graduate school in San Diego, California. When I look at myself in the mirror, I realize that I’ve grown and changed into a completely different person…more-so than anyone around me. Since then, I’ve felt like something has been triggered within me. I remember watching the premiere episode of Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo! back in 2008. I’ve been watching Pretty Cure for nearly six years now. ![]()
