How to be happy: "Aaaaaah!!!"

The top image is a "Helleborus (Christmas Rose)."
Its flower language is "Relieve my anxiety."

People sometimes carry anxiety that cannot be processed with words.
At such times, I don't think you need to try to organize it neatly.

“Aaaaaah!!!”
Scream with all your might in a place where no one can hear you.

I think that is a good place to start.
Sometimes, letting out your voice can make your heart feel a little lighter.

Just by doing that,
something that was stuck deep in your chest

may start to flow away.
People store more emotions in their bodies than they realize.
Words you couldn't say.

Anger you held back.
Sadness you swallowed.

Fatigue from constantly being considerate.
If you don't create a proper exit for these,
they will accumulate inside your heart.
That is why, sometimes, before your reason takes over,

it is necessary to let them out from your body.
Sing your heart out at karaoke.

Scream inside your car.
Shout toward the ocean.

Yell in an empty room.
I feel like we did this more naturally when we were children.
We jumped when we were happy,
cried when we were frustrated,

and laughed out loud when we were having fun.
But as we grow into adults,

we become better at suppressing ourselves,
thinking, "I must stay calm,"
"I must not cause trouble for others,"

or "I must act properly."
Of course, that is important too.
However,
if you only get better at suppressing things,
your heart will gradually become suffocated.

So,

it is okay to scream like you've broken down once in a while.
It doesn't need to have a meaning.
There are days when you cannot convert your emotions into words.

On such days,
your voice itself becomes a substitute for your emotions.

Singing is similar.

When you sing a sad song,

your sadness can be organized.
When you sing a passionate song,

feelings that had come to a standstill can start to move.

When you sing a nostalgic song,
you can remember a version of yourself you had forgotten.

People can save themselves with their own voices.
Therefore,

the more you have been working hard lately,
the more I want you to let out a loud voice once in a while.

It doesn't have to be pretty.

It doesn't have to be elegant.
Just,
let what has accumulated in your chest

escape to the outside.
Even just doing that

will likely bring back a little room to live for tomorrow.

I recently found something called a "soundproof bottle."

It seems to be an item that makes it harder for sound to leak out to the surroundings
by letting you scream into the bottle.

It is a slightly unusual tool.

But at the same time,
I thought it might also reflect an era where there are so many people
who "want to scream with all their might but cannot."

Rather than continuing to bottle up your emotions,
if you can let them out safely
without bothering anyone,

that might actually be a small investment in your heart.
