Cartoons were made by adults that wanted kids to understand how life works, so there is no one else explaining this better than adults.

Missed a huge one of Squidward: “I order the food. You cook the food. The customer gets the food. We do that for 40 years, then we die.”

"Cody's just a bum, Cody's this, Cody's that, Codys Me let me be me"

"Im never gonna be someone here."

Yeah this kinda hits hard. Being in an awful job that wont get you anywhere while having plans to actually do something that requires a lot of work, time and luck is really hard. But maybe one day people can fulfill those dreams they have chased.

A little tip for the one's just entering adulthood: never try to be someone you aren't. Never try to fit in with people who make you feel like you aren't good enough. Never try to force a relationship to work with someone you aren't compatible with.

You will lose yourself in the process.

Every kid has watched their Disney movies and cartoons and had the sudden realization. "Why cant my parents be like that?"

"Once you do the hard stuff, gets easier." I felt that

I don't want to live in a hole anymore. It makes me feel poor.

This honestly made me cry a little. It made me think of my life, what I have to do. I have to keep going. No matter what people say, no matter what happens. When you get dirt on yourself, you dust yourself off and keep going. Not sit in the mud and wallow in it.

Rodney's Dad is the goat. One of the most supportive dads in all of animation.

In the end, it’s just writers giving there audience hope or a deeper meaning to life. These messages are always there. I think some are just starting to realize it.

The South Park scene with Butters reframing heartbreak as ‘beautiful sadness’ is one of my favourites, brilliant writing from Trey and Matt. I always come back to that one

This is exactly how I felt living in basement apartments, and I did something about it.
