Shame?

I have watched anime since I was in primary school, although at that time I do not what "anime" is. However, after entering junior high, my interest to anime has decreased. It's probably because of the schoolwork and all those other stuffs, but the main reason I stopped is because I thought that I was too mature to watch anime. Although I was not bullied because of watching anime, but I have a feeling of shame if I do that activity. Thus, a 2-3 years gap was made by myself. Later, in senior high one of my friends asked me, well.. he kinda forced me to watch anime again. And so, my love to anime rose again. I also realized that the shame that I felt 3 years ago was foolish. There is no shame on watching anime, anime is universal, anime is for children and adults, anime is art, anime can teach you a lot of things and although there are only a few of my friends that watch anime, but I am proud to say that I love watching anime. And that's the story about anime in my life.
