It's okay not to be perfect, that's who I am. Listening to ELLEGARDEN's 'Kaze no Hi'.

Thank you for finding my note among the many others. I'm Tsuda, a book editor and writer, feeling a bit lucky today because I woke up early. In this note, I share tips to heal your heart and help you make a fresh start in life. Please feel free to stay a while.

Today, I wrote about a song that cheers me up.

There are times when no matter how hard you try, you just can't be positive. At such times, if you try to force yourself to feel better, thinking 'This isn't good' or 'I have to be positive,' you often end up feeling even more depressed.

Takeshi Hosomi, from my favorite band ELLEGARDEN, sings about this in a song called 'Kaze no Hi' (Windy Day).

Every time I listen to this song, I feel my heart lighten, thinking, 'I don't have to force myself to be strong' and 'It's okay to have bad days.' And it gives me the courage to move forward as I am, on windy days and rainy days alike.

We sometimes push ourselves, thinking, 'I must be positive' or 'I must be strong.' However, Hosomi sings, 'I can't always smile like a clown.' I feel this suggests that weakness and negative emotions are also natural parts of being human.

'Kaze no Hi' sings about a person who, while carrying such weaknesses, still tries to move forward. 'Forgetting by the next day, trying to fly on windy days.' From these lyrics, I feel a strong will to not be trapped by the past and to challenge oneself toward the future.

I think the most important part is the phrase 'trying to fly.'

It doesn't mean you will 'definitely be able to fly.' Still, you try to take on the challenge. Isn't that what's important? Even if you fail, if you can learn something from it and grow, it becomes a great asset for your life.

'Kaze no Hi' conveys the message that 'you don't need to be perfect' and 'it's okay to be yourself.' And it teaches us the importance of not giving up and continuing to challenge ourselves even when facing difficult situations.

ELLEGARDEN's 'Kaze no Hi' is a song that gently stays close to the emotions deep within your heart.

For all of you,
I hope tomorrow is a good day✨
