The adventure started for me a year ago today

So today is February 10th. Do you where you were one year ago today? I definitely do.

It started 24 hours earlier. I had just watched a video made by Saberspark​ titled Cartoons and Conclusions: What Gravity Falls Did RIGHT ]. Now at the time all I knew about Gravity Falls was that it was a show of some sort made by Disney and it involved twins, a great uncle and a talking triangle. I had only by then seen the shorts, and then those were back in 2014.

The choice to watch GF was interesting because at that time, I was still a bit skeptical with cartoons and TV in general. It had been over a year since Phineas and Ferb had ended and that was the last proper cartoon I had watched. So, to dive into a new show and one I barely knew much about was a risk.

Then on February 10th 2017, I decided to give this show a watch. I mean at the most I had suspected maybe I would finish it and move on to something else within a week. I was wrong.

SO WRONG!!

One year since I watched the first episode and the next 5 episodes at that on that first day, I became sucked into the Gravity Falls universe. Over the next 8 days, finishing up 2 days after Feb 15th, I watched each and every episode. Sometimes in shock, in laughter, in anger, or in tears of joy or sadness.

I never could have imagined on that day, that one year later, this show would play a huge part in my life, make me love cartoons all over again, cause me to now own a shelf full of books from it, have a wall covered in stuff about it and be so into its community that I could meet and learn so much from people who are in the same boat as I am. And I soon found one great place when I discovered GF Amino just before February ended. On Feb23rd. It has gone from being,

Gravity Falls: That’s a show on Disney, right? To being,

Gravity Falls: What can I say. This show is amazing. I love it. It became my favourite show of all time basically in one night. Its means a lot to me and to the many people who have seen it. Its hard to explain what this show is in one word or one paragraph at that. Its even harder to explain the adventure this show has taken me on. Its made me a better person, its made me smile, laugh, cry, hyped and made endure emotions I never thought I would experience again. But most of all, it made me all the fun I had growing up and of course, that childhood is precious and I got to have a great one at that. Don’t waste it. You only have one childhood. Once its gone, it is gone forever. But even when its gone, the memories will not. Its been one year since I first watched Gravity Falls. And all I can say is….

Thank you Gravity Falls for sending me on a trip back to childhood. To relive all those memories again.

And most of all. Thank you to every single Gravity Falls fan who has been here. Thank you for letting me into your crazy and amazing world. I know I was late to the party, but your kindness has made it seem like I was here since day one. What does the future hold? I don't know, but one thing is certain, my love for this 40 episode long cartoon has never been greater.

Thank You.

“I always designed Gravity Falls to be a finite series about one epic summer, a series with a beginning, middle, and end. There are so many shows that go on endlessly until they lose their original spark, or mysteries that are cancelled before they ever get a chance to payoff.”
