The Secretariat by OrcaOwl on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"My question for you is, I am a good kid, and I like to play, and I like to go to school, but sometimes I get sad.
What do you do when you get sad? How do you not be sad? Sincerely, BoJack."

" That's a great letter.
BoJack, when I was your age, I got sad.
A lot.
I didn't come from such a great home, but one day, I started running, and that seemed to make sense, so then I just kept running.
BoJack, when you get sad, you run straight ahead and you keep running forward, no matter what.
There are people in your life who are gonna try to hold you back, slow you down, but you don't let them.
Don't you stop running and don't you ever look behind you.
There's nothing for you behind you.
All that exists is what's ahead."

I watched the entirety of Bojack Horseman a couple of weeks ago and the quality of writing and just the depth of the show really caught me. I drew the Secretariat, a horse that answered 9 year old Bojack's question: What do you do when you're sad?

I thought the way they dealt with Bojack's depression and brought everything together in the end was so good. Watch this show, don't stop watching it after the first few episodes. You won't regret it.
