I’m not aiming for a life where I can be admired by anyone. I’m going to find a way of life that pleases me, and I’m going to find it while bumping into each other. You don’t suddenly become strong. You don’t suddenly become capable. I am the one who builds up from the days that repeat themselves.

:

You are a shaman. I received the following oracle. The meaning of the word is not a fixed meaning as per the dictionary, but a soft spreading cloud.
1: Look at the whole picture.
2: Tell your impression in one line.
3: Interpret paragraph by paragraph.
4: Give the oracle a soft title.

Even if you wish a hundred times, if you don’t make a move, you can’t grab it. Sometimes it hurts to think things through, but that’s okay, because it’s better to take a chance than to miss it because you’re stuck in the moment because you’re thinking too much. I’m not aiming for a life where I’ll be praised by anyone, but a life that makes me happy, and I’ll find that while bumping into things. You don’t suddenly become strong, you don’t suddenly become capable, but through the repetition of your days, we are rebuilding you. Even if things don’t go well, the road is never closed, and something will begin again from there, if you keep searching, worrying, and seeking. If we quit, or if we give up, the next path will be different. You have to admit to yourself first before anyone else can admit to you, and then you can embrace all the good and the bad. I’d rather have fun even if it’s hard than walk the easy way Busy, boring days If you want to change things, start walking.
