A few years ago I came across this anime (Japanese animation/cartoon) called Shugo Chara! (In which the song above is also the ending theme to the anime as well).
The heroine of the story Amu Hinamori, is a student at Seiyo Elementary. At first glance, her classmates refer to her as "cool and spicy" and rumors speculate about her personal life. However, her real personality is that of a very shy girl who has trouble showing her true personality. One night, Amu wishes for the courage to show her "would-be" self, and the next morning finds three brightly colored eggs — red, blue, and green — in her bed. These eggs hatch into three Guardian Characters: Ran, Miki, and Su. The Guardian Characters aid Amu in discovering who she truly is and help fulfill Amu's dreams. Amu's life becomes much more complex as she struggles to deal with her "would-be" selves and the Seiyo Elementary's Guardians, who each have a Guardian Character of their own. Later on, they recruit Amu as the "Joker" to search for X Eggs and X Characters, the corrupted forms of people's dreams, so the Guardians can purify their dreams.
Yes, it is more-or-less a childish show.
However, although it seems that way, the theme was deep: express your true personality; try not to hide your true self; as well as follow your dreams and future goals, and accomplish them.
It does seem like a lot for just a childish show, right? It's very similar to what we're learning right now in college: our future, our personality, our identity, and our dreams being our choice because we want to and not because of anything else
I wanted to make a point that since recently my posts have been focusing on personality and my future, I felt like this would be a perfect connection between it.
