Thank you 2025🐍✨️

Looking back on 2025.

“Sometimes, your past self helps your present self.

The things you do now can also help your future self.

Good deeds are not just for others. They come back around to help you, too.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2025.

The fun times,

The happy times,

There were many things.

Visiting shrines here and there.

Going to see the people I wanted to meet.

Being able to go to the places I wanted to visit.

Taking on a new challenge in something I had stopped doing for several years.

Putting in my best effort for that new challenge.

Being told by someone I deeply respect, "I want you to be happy."

Being given the opportunity to have new experiences.

Being shown worlds I did not know.

The opportunities I received because of my hard work.

And, the fact that I was able to bring joy on that stage.

The fact that I was introduced.

The fact that I gathered the courage to express my feelings.

The fact that I was able to let go.

The fact that my way of thinking changed.

The fact that I learned about my thought patterns.

The fact that I was able to cherish myself.

The fact that I turned down invitations at the end of the year and spent time relaxing at home.

The fact that I was allowed to clean the local tutelary shrine on New Year's Eve.

Working hard at my main job.

I also had some happy moments on this note.

Someone I respect told me,

that they could see my past life as a 'navy fighter pilot'.

At that moment, a breeze blew.

And then, I saw the scenery.

My emotions stirred, and my current self connected with that past life,

“I see!!”

“So that’s why!!”

There were so many.

I was happy to be taught.

My blood is boiling.

"I want to make Japan energetic."

As we reach the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, I believe you have given me the opportunity to strongly express the thoughts of the "me" from that time.

I would like to visit Yasukuni Shrine next spring🌸

And I would like to write about this story again.

Also, for the comments I received that were educational.

And...

2025.

There were many times I believed in myself.

I am who I am, and I can only be myself.

Tomorrow, I will still be me.

What kind of year shall I make 2026?

I simply want to live each moment that connects to my future self with care.

Trust and credibility are not things you can obtain overnight.

It is about your daily attitude and the things you build up.

The words you speak.

While keeping all of that in mind,

I want to live in a fun and interesting way,

and enjoy life.

Thank you for everything this year.

Gratitude, gratitude, and more gratitude.
