[Genmai no Manma.] I haven't broken down yet.

Add one line to 'pain' (tsurai).




Hello everyone, it's been a while, this is Genmai.

It's been a little while since my last post😩.




If you ask me whether I've been doing well,
I was in perfect shape to store up material!
It was quite a painful time, the kind that makes you want to dodge the question.


Mainly due to work stress,
I felt like I was using all my energy just to suppress myself,
like a nail being hammered down before it could even stick out,
I felt a sense of suffocation.




When your shoulders get stiff, your head gets stiff too, doesn't it?


Where did my relaxed way of thinking go?


I didn't want to sit in front of the computer even after getting home,
and even if I did sit down, my hands would stop; that cycle kept repeating.


"Sigh."
After letting out a sigh,

"How happy I am."
I found myself endearing for trying to force a change in perspective.




I am definitely not resilient.

I'm not sticky rice that gets better when it's pounded.


However,
Genmai is someone who can add a line to 'pain' and turn it into 'happiness'.
is who Genmai is.


Oh my (rice) god!!
can also be turned into
Oh well (mai), it's fine.
that's what Genmai can do.


Genmai is someone who walks the line between a middle-aged man and rice with risky puns☺️👍.



This week,
"I might be in trouble soon🆘."
I felt that way, but I managed to get through it.


So,
I decided to take a 'medium-sized vacation' a little ahead of the Obon holidays.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going on a trip to Nagano☺️🌾.

For a 3-day, 2-night camping trip🏕️.




The 'suffocation' I've been feeling lately,

was just fertilizer to fully appreciate 'ease of living'!

If I can think that way, it's a festival already㊗️.




That's right.

Even ifpainful days are continuing right now, it's okay.

What kind of line can you add there to feel 'happiness'?

This is the game.




By the way,

apparently if you add too many lines to 'pain' (辛), it becomes 'testicle' (睾)...

It seems it used to draw bitter smiles from many people in the past, so I'll refrain from adding furigana.

If you're curious, please proceed at your own risk🤗.




I'm Genmai, who is more worried about becoming an old man than the modernization of the world,
but I'm still alive today.


So, you'll be okay too✌️.




Thanks for reading☺️.


I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
