☕【What was 'correctness' again?】〜To you who want to live with joy rather than correctness〜

Whir, whir, whir.
(The sound of Ayappe's brain CPU.)

Hey, what do you think 'correct' means?

That 'correctness' of yours,
who on earth decided it anyway?

Emotions that cannot be put into words,
feelings that have no name,
is it really possible
to label them as
'correct' or 'incorrect'?

☕Even though you're not 'being lazy'

People born with a sensitive heart
use many times more energy
than those who aren't.

That's why time to rest yourself
and time to recharge are incredibly important.

However,
to someone who doesn't know that,
it might be said that you are
'being lazy' or 'taking it easy'.

But, is that really 'correct'?

If the country is different,
common sense and correctness change too.

In one country, alcohol is a no-go,
in another, it's a matter of etiquette.

Hurting someone is
not a good thing, but
sometimes it's unavoidable.

Then, what should we use as our axis to live by?

☕Ayappe used to be a 'demon of correctness' (lol)

The younger Ayappe
'Isn't that wrong!?'
'That's impossible!!'
……was the type to
end up attacking people (lol)

But you know, I think that was
because I was only looking at the world from the 'eye level' of my own imperfect self.

As I grew,
I came to think like this.

Rather than 'correctness',
I want to choose 'joy' and 'love'.

☕The more you forgive yourself, the more you can forgive others

When you only care about
'whether it's correct or not',
you blame yourself, judge others,
and everyone ends up suffering.

But,

💗The more you forgive yourself, the kinder you can be to others.

💗The more you cherish yourself, the more you can protect someone.

See?
Little by little,
isn't that just fine?

☕To you, who are sensitive, a gold star for your words.

Those of us with HSP traits

are bad at conflict,
don't want to hurt people,
feel the atmosphere too much,
and there are days when we can't move even a millimeter.

But, it's okay.

Even if you fall into a hole,
you'll be able to come back eventually.

Ayappe also
has days that are seriously rough, too (lol).

But you know, I've gotten faster at coming back out than before.

Because there are shadows, there is light.

Precisely because it hurt,
I can say 'thank you'.

That is the world Ayappe believes in.

So,

if
you ever feel like you're about to be
swallowed by 'correctness',
I want you to gently remember this.

🕯️The things you thought about with love,
faced, and worked hard on.

Even if that isn't 'correctness'
to someone else,

for you yourself,
it's a perfect score💮.

This is
a love letter💗 addressed to you,
who is kind, tries too hard,
and is overflowing with the power to care for others.

Thank you for reading until the end☕✨
