Live your life impressing yourself

Live your life impressing yourself

 

This is one of my mottos.

It has been one since two years ago...

 

Two years ago, I was in Canada studying abroad.

I was so obsessd with social media and thinking what the other people think of me... 

I was trying to have a "good life" that everyone think/envy...

I studied abroad, traveled many countries, had a boy friend, and had many international friends...

That life or that mindset eventually ruined myself... 

I had a big breakup and couldn't impress others on the internet. 

Now I'm not even sure that the others were impressed  with me or not...

Anyway, I was so broken inside... I literally didn't know what to do.

 

That was my turning point.

I had eating disorder, sleeping disorder, and... 

That time... I realized that I only lived for others not for myself.

I wanted to do what i wanted, so I lived for myself too... but some part of me or most part of me always cared too much what the others think of me what I do.

 

After the big break up, I had a lot of A LOT OF time to think about life.

And I came to think that life is long and short...

What's on earth am I doing to waste my time impressing others?

I live with my mind, my body, myself...

That the moment I changed I reborned.

 

I finally decided to live my life impressing myself not the others.

 

I was having a walk this morning alone, I reminded myself this motto and the moment I reborned.

Since the COVID-19, I had been staying home...

I complained at the beggining, but it's nice to see myself deeply and connect with my soul again.

 

People live once...( as long as I believe) Live your life impressing yourself.

Live your life impressing yourself

 

When you can't go outside, go inside of yourself...

 

Most of the morning channel you see is about corona virus... how the world is fighting and struggling with that.

 

My school was closed, and the end of my first teaching year suddenly came to the end.

The Olympic was cancelled, so I was no longer a flame bearer which is understandable because of the whole situation...

 

We are not reccomendded to go outside which means.... basically We can't go outside.

 

I was super stressed out at the beggining cuz usually I go outside and have fun with my friends on the weekends.

 

You know I am posting now... so what kind of word would come next...?  Yeah it is "BUT"

 

But those bad feelings...I don't have it anymore.

Just the one quote changed my idea for the whole situation.

It was on Facebook and I don't even remember who quoted, but it was like "When you can't go outside, go inside" and it was with a picture with a guy who is doing yoga pose/ meditation pose.

 

I was like "HELL YEAH." 

I started reading books, studying English again, running outside, doing some exercies, cooking, golfing and etc 

 

It is nice feeling.  Love facing with my emotions and thoughts.

It is just going deeper and deeper.

 

It seems like the world is facing the difficult time, and it is true.

Yet you can now see the good in the bad...  

 

To make that happen..

 

"When you can't go outside, go inside" xoxo

なんで世界のどこかで水が十分に使えない人がいるからって日本にいる僕たちが節水しなくてはならいの?

「なんで世界のどこかで水が十分に使えない人がいるからって日本にいる僕たちが節水しなくてはならいの?」

 

一緒に考えたり私の考えを伝えることはできるけどなんだかこれだ!!っていうのがなくって... どうしようと思う毎日です。

 

"I know there are tons of people who can't afford to have enough water, but why on earth do we need to save water?"

 

This question is from my student won't get out of my head lately...

 

Does anyone have a good answer for that?

How to take care of your love

Love is never been clear and nothing...

They are deep and sometimes turns into jealousy and evil...

Even though my partner and I share a lot of things, we are different human beings and only share some moments together... My love should not be a restriction of my love...

Go ahead and live your dreams.

"we never know where the life gonna take us, i really encourage you from deep down to follow your dreams Fumi no matter what, there are things that only you can feel and the world will judge you for everything and for nothing, you just need to decide, take actions and leave everything behind (if necessary) to follow what you really want, you passion, your desires. Or you can just chose to ignore your dreams and regret it when you get older and older...Go ahead and live your dreams."

 

These are some words from my best friend.

What he said to me and what it is written in this book ... Their messages are kind of same to me...

 

I may have lost my dream because of my too much concentration to my current job... I will see what is going to happen in three years:)  No need to hurry I guess... !

improving the quality of your life
