Tell us your story of facing health! We are calling for submissions for the theme project "#WhenIStartedThinkingAboutHealth".
Unexpected difficulties and events that make us stop in our tracks can happen in anyone's life.
Events that make us think deeply about "health" in particular—such as major illnesses like cancer, injuries, or caring for a loved one—bring significant changes to our hearts and our ways of living.
How do we face those difficulties, overcome them, and walk forward in the present? Each of us surely has a diverse story to tell.

Message from the Sponsor
We received a comment from a representative at Lifenet Insurance regarding the holding of this theme.
Lifenet Insurance launched a new cancer insurance policy in December. Cancer has a major impact on the person themselves and those around them. On the other hand, even with familiar illnesses, it is difficult to find the time to think about them as something that could happen to you.
This time, we chose this theme because we wanted to hear episodes from people who are living while facing their own bodies, not limited to "cancer".
The timing to think about health, whether due to illness or injury, comes suddenly in life. For those currently in such a situation, episodes of people who have managed to bounce back from difficulties and move forward might become a support for standing up again.
Also, for those who are still struggling with swirling thoughts, we hope you will use this theme as an opportunity to organize those feelings.
We look forward to articles that touch upon your honest feelings. If you are even slightly interested in cancer, please read this note as well.
