Quotes

“Even if I liked someone, I was afraid of being rejected, so I’d just watch them from afar. Nowadays, I’m starting to think that if I find someone I like, I should express my feelings before it’s too late.”

“When I was in my twenties, I used to have a fixed idea of ‘I’m this kind of person,’ and I tried not to deviate from that frame […] As people get older, they can change to adapt to a situation, and I also think that they need to make transformations if it’s necessary.”

“I prefer the me of today, who has found courage, to me when I was my twenties, when my view of the world was very limited.”

“I’ve come to learn that getting older means having to say goodbye more frequently. Last year and the year before, I had to say goodbye to many people.”

“I don’t [necessarily] hope for good things to happen; I just hope that no one will get sick or be sad. These days, I’ve realized how thankful we ought to be simply when nothing goes wrong.”
