Learning the Courage to Face Hardship from Hospital Radio

Hello, I'm Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to find your true self.

Do you know about Hospital Radio?

It's a program where Sandwichman sets up a mobile radio station in a hospital and listens to the feelings that patients and their families can't usually express, along with their requested songs.

Kururi introduced it.

It's just a program where they talk with patients and their families, though.

It touched my heart.

For those who want to confide in someone but can't tell anyone,

this is a program I definitely want you to watch.

When things are tough, you sometimes feel like you're the most miserable person in the world, don't you?

It makes you feel like you're all alone in the darkness.

However, when you learn that there are others living their lives to the fullest in that same moment, you start to think that maybe there is something you can do, too.

You're not the only one suffering, and even people who look happy and healthy right now have various pasts.

However, even if you listen to others' stories, please try not to think,

I shouldn't be complaining about something like this.

Since I am a healthcare worker, I have interacted with many patients every day.

I have also seen many small children undergoing radiation therapy.

That's why, even when I got sick, I used to think,

It would be embarrassing to complain about something like this when there are people going through much harder times.

So, no matter how painful it was, I couldn't cry.

I told myself
that I must not cry
and that I must not complain.

Doing that, however,
only serves to bottle up your feelings.

If you keep them bottled up,
your heart will eventually break.

It is okay to let it all out when things are tough.

If someone listens to how you feel,
just saying "thank you"
is perfectly fine.

By letting your emotions out,
you can shift your perspective,
and the strength to keep going
will start to well up within you.

I hope that watching Hospital Radio
will be the catalyst for you to gain the courage to keep trying,
as well as the courage to voice your struggles.
I hope it gives you both.

Thank you
for reading until the end.
