Thoughts on Ai no Sato: I Want to Be Like Mina-nee
I spent two full days binge-watching this because it was just too interesting... orz
It was fascinating to see the reality of the parent generation in such a realistic way for the first time!
I knew it, but life goes on no matter how old you get, and youth isn't the only part of life.
Everyone is older than me, but seeing their baby-like sides made them feel endearing.
▼ People who left an impression
・Mina-nee
The person I thought was the most wonderful from start to finish was Mina-nee! She was elegant, loved animals, and her choice of words was lovely. Being a picture book author, I was also drawn to her romantic side. I really admire the profession of a picture book author.
・Ayakan
The person I could empathize with the most was Ayakan.
That painful feeling of being sensitive in strange ways, blaming others, and having strong preconceived notions.
I had a period during my time as a company employee where I felt exactly like that, so I felt worried about Ayakan.
▼ Things I thought about
Season 2 also depicted pregnancy and childbirth realistically, which gave me a lot to think about.
I'm 28 now, and I've never really thought about wanting children.
But I wonder if I'll start wanting them once everyone around me starts having kids in earnest.
I think that even if I were to have them, I'd need to solidify my career path and be financially independent...
I also wonder, should I have just stayed a company employee after all?!
I talk about marriage and childbirth with my partner, but my partner is also in their third year of starting a business, so things aren't stable yet... Ah, it's difficult.I guess I really do like "stability." I thought it would be amazing if I could find a job that is "stable" and where "I can easily be number one."
Romance documentary shows are simply interesting as stories and have parts that serve as self-improvement, but because they are real, I end up thinking about various things and getting tired. I'll keep it in moderation.
