Viva la Vida. LONG LIVE LIFE!
There are shows you watch for entertainment, and then there are shows that quietly crawl under your skin, settle into the rhythm of your heart, and leave you with a gentle ache long after the final scene. Twinkling Watermelon is the latter.
The drama reminded me that life, no matter how messy or unpredictable, doesn’t need to be perfect in order to shine. One quote in particular has carved itself into me, something I’ll carry on my shoulders as I move forward in my own life:
“Life didn't have to be perfect for it to shine. It's the little moments that make your life twinkle—what you experience when those moments come together. And happiness is what you experience when those moments come together.”
As I border between the peak of my youth and its slow, inevitable farewell, this line swallowed me whole. It’s the kind of sentiment that sneaks up on you, the kind that makes you stop scrolling, stop rushing, and simply feel. Because Twinkling Watermelon is exactly that—a story about small, fleeting, incandescent moments that piece together something much larger than themselves.
Watching it felt like being reminded of something I had always known but often forgot—that happiness doesn’t arrive in grand gestures or flawless lives, but in those imperfect twinkles we gather along the way. For me, Twinkling Watermelon was a reminder that my own fleeting youth is still worthy of being lived brightly, no matter how tangled or uncertain it may be.
"My days must twinkle as radiantly as possible." ✨🍉
