Hayao Miyazaki: If Someone Truly Loves You, They Will Come to You No Matter What

Lessons in Love and Life

Don’t wander in the dark, or wait for his messages holding your phone.

If he truly loves you, he will come to you no matter what.

You don’t need to pretend to be perfect. Just be yourself. In his eyes, you are everything. Whether it’s windy or raining, he only sees you.

Even if you speak harshly, argue with him fiercely, block and delete him many times, he won’t easily let you go.

So believe that he loves the real you, not the version you put on to please him.

If he loves you, he won’t care if you’re beautiful or ugly, fat or thin. The most important thing is, you are you.

Someone who doesn’t love you won’t spare you a glance, even if you’re as humble as dust and bloom beautifully in it.

You can’t hold onto someone who doesn’t have you in their heart, or touch a heart that doesn’t love you. So if he insists on leaving, let him go. No need to sacrifice your happiness for someone who doesn’t love you.

His presence will only remind you of your embarrassment and reopen your wounds.

In this world, everyone can live without each other. Being with someone who doesn’t love you is the real harm.

Emotions are the most uncertain thing in the world. Sometimes you think he does, but his actions show he doesn’t love you.

You worry, cry, and get drunk for him at night, while he remains indifferent.

Don’t think his return is because of you. Just like in a story, the three times Tang Bohu turned around for Qiu Xiang, thinking she liked him, but she poured water on him and said, “Don’t be presumptuous.”

In relationships, the scariest thing is thinking it’s love when he doesn’t see it that way.

Some people enter your life to show not everyone is worth waiting for.

Even if you once loved deeply, it may end with you still loving him while he doesn’t. When he loved you, he cherished you no matter your appearance. When he doesn’t, even if you’re beautiful and sweet, he won’t linger.

It’s not about your appearance if he doesn’t love you.

For you, I want to become a better person, not a burden, to prove I’m worthy of you. This line is from Hayao Miyazaki’s “Whisper of the Heart.”

Just like the boys and girls in stories, we once timidly liked someone in our youth, keeping it to ourselves or writing it in diaries.

Thinking he’s the best and just seeing him makes us happy.

Young love is naive but pure.

I used to love watching the sunset on a guy’s hair, turning it golden like the Little Prince from another planet.

For a while, I silently watched him from afar.

He seemed oblivious, chatting with others, never showing any difference towards me.

I felt like a little cat hiding in a corner, hoping he’d notice me but looking away when our eyes met.

Then one day in the library, he patted the seat beside him, asking me to sit down.

At that moment, my heart bloomed.

There’s always someone who resides in your heart but disappears from your life.

Not all likes end with something, not all love stories reach the end.

Life is a train journey towards the grave, with many stops. When someone who accompanied you wants to get off, be grateful, bid farewell.

The playgrounds, blue skies, and grass we shared are still there, but you’ve gone far away.

At that parting moment, there may be resentment, but mostly, it’s reluctance. Some things don’t belong to us, and forcing them only brings pain.

They say everyone has a long journey before reaching their destination.

Like climbing a mountain, some give up midway thinking they’ve given enough, missing the best views.

Others reach the peak, not the most beautiful view, but after life’s twists, they don’t lose themselves.

Many things in life need time to prove the final outcome.

Chasing what’s not meant for you is futile. What’s yours will come to you one day.

The struggles and hardships you faced are to make you shine. Eventually, someone who truly loves you will come through time to you.

People grow up; one day, you may stroll happily with a baby, and past likes will fade away as memories in the tunnel of time. So keep moving forward without looking back.

Someday, you’ll realize all this doesn’t matter, that’s when you truly grow up.

After growing up, you may remember the person who watched Miyazaki’s animations with you. Memories turn from pain to various romances and beauty.

Miyazaki’s fairy tales are healing for many. He, like the characters in his stories, found lifelong passion, chasing what’s in his heart.

Whether “Whisper of the Heart,” “Castle in the Sky,” “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Spirited Away,” or “Howl’s Moving Castle”… you feel the most beautiful emotions in those stories.

They say being filled with beautiful thoughts is true richness.

Life gives us joys and sorrows, love and sadness, but more often, it’s the simple beauty, those little bright spots, those small joys…

So don’t fret over things; if someone truly loves you, they will come to you no matter what.
