A complete turnaround from a life of nothing but work to being a cosmic rare beast who just plays around🦄(I joined an anime song band club🎸🎤✨)

Helloooo🌳🧚🌈✨
A cheerful introvert🦄🌬️
I'm Akane, the cosmic rare beast and loose hero🌸

My profile says
"Cleared the first half of my life in 'tumultuous hard mode'"
but

Honestly, from age 18 until now, I've just been
working, working, working, working, working←(hmm, heard that phrase somewhere before😂)
non-stop🤣

I don't even have kids.

I just worked and worked.

Being a hairdresser is really a black company job😂
I only had New Year's Day off, and
back then I never had any substantial time off.

But, if anything, the time right after I got married and
just opened my own hair salon was the hardest.

When I still had few customers,
I would help with my husband's food factory,
do hair in between,

help with my husband's paperwork at night,
and since I was picky about the varieties of vegetables I grew in the field,

I'd be harvesting them at 2 or 3 in the morning💦

I even had dreams of being chased by the vegetables in the field, haha.
Those days were truly painful😂

The worst part was waking up to the sound of the doorbell
from a customer with a 10 AM appointment the next morning😭

Until the salon business stabilized,
working two jobs along with my husband's was really tough💦

Because of COVID,
restaurants downsized, the factory work decreased,
and that became a path of salvation for me.

Then, the number of customers at the salon kept increasing,
and except for our Tuesday closing day, from morning till night,
it was always overflowing with customers.

Especially during the two years when my heart was dead,
I was desperate to earn money.

Money doesn't betray you, so to increase sales,
I added various menus and such.

I became able to earn seven figures a month all by myself.

But,
I decided to let go of the hair salon I had built up that much.

I'm throwing away the house I live in and the shop, everything.

If it could be solved by talking, it would have been solved long ago.

Since it couldn't be helped,
I had no choice but to throw it all away.

That isa bungee jump with the resolve to lose everything.

I worried so, so, so, so much.
I felt so sorry for my customers,
and it wasn't a decision I could make easily.


However,
I don't want to live while lying to myself anymore.
Even if everything is gone,
as long as I am alive, I should be able to manage somehow.

I can just start over from one.

That's what I thought when I bungee jumped, but...

The result is...

I'm in the same place😂

The content has been completely renewed into a different world✨✨,
but the place I'm in is the same.

Everything about my role at home has become easy, too.

And then, the shop I was supposed to have let go.

“We are very sorry to inform you that as of today, our shop will be closing. We are truly sorry for the surprise caused by this sudden announcement😭🙏”

A hair salon that I closed unilaterally,

in such a selfish and incomprehensible way.

Although I reopened it a month and a half later,

only about one-third of the customers returned.

Well, that makes sense🤣

Quitting unilaterally, then saying, 'I'm doing it again!' is totally like a horror movie🤣

It wouldn't be strange if people thought,

I don't want to be involved, I can't trust her.

If anything, I am so grateful that even one-third of them came back😭

That was all I could do at that time. The answer I reached after worrying and worrying until I couldn't worry anymore.

So, it couldn't be helped.

And, I have nothing but total gratitude for the customers who still came back saying they wanted me to do it for them✨✨

And then...

I became incredibly free😂😂😂

The days where I did nothing but work feel like a lie now😂 I take this as a reward for the time I've spent living life to the fullest. Or rather, it's too scary if I don't think of it that way😂

Because, until now, I thought I had no place to belong unless I was useful to others. And I was told to do the roles given to me, and that I shouldn't say I'm working hard, and I thought that was true too, so I was always whipping myself on😂 But after taking the plunge and coming back, I was told that just being here is enough. What is that? Is it okay? It's so opposite to how I've lived until now that it's scary, so scary😂 But, while trembling, I bought a Switch and tried lounging around, or spent the whole day playing with my dog,

From there,
to reclaim the youth that once made my heart flutter,
I started taking guitar lessons.

And, within that music school,
there are various band activities,
and since it's a system where you can easily participate,
I immediatelyjoined the anime song band club╰(*´︶`*)╯💖

You know,
usually, most people do a trial or visit,
and check out the atmosphere before joining.

But I,
on a whim and with momentum, said "I'm joining!!"
and signed up via email.

They even asked me, "Are you really sure?"
But I replied, "I'm sure!!"

And then,
apparently they were actually buzzing until I showed up🤣

Like, what if she's a dangerous person,
what if she's a weirdo?🤣

They said they were telling each other that since the email was written in a normal way,
she must be okay, or something like that🤣

And, after meeting me in person,
"We're relieved you're a normal person!☺️☺️"
everyone told me lol

"Your ability to take action is insane!!"
"Usually, everyone comes for a visit or something first to think about it."

they said lol

I guess I really am a bit weird lol

But you know,

"But, joining a band is the fastest way to grow, so you made the right choice!!"

they also told me,

See, I knew it was the right thing to do!☺️

With my natural instincts and
insane ability to take action, I am a cosmic rare beast
who will continue to forge ahead toward fun things🦄🌬️
