[Reflections] Where should I address a thank-you letter to myself this year?
I am participating in YeKu's wonderful project.
(👇️This is the article!)
Sending a "thank you to myself this year"—how wonderful!
The reason I think it's wonderful is that
if someone who read YeKu's article
even for a fleeting moment
let go of past hardships, anxieties about the future, and present struggles
and turned their attention toward themselves,
their body would surely understand.
"Ah, they cared about me."
Their body must have rejoiced.
"I'm glad you didn't forget about me."
Because it's lonely to be ignored.

The recipient of my "thank you to myself this year" letter is
my entire body.
Brain, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, lungs, stomach, intestines, hands, feet, heart.
There are even deeper organs, too.
Not a single one of them is something I could do without; they are all precious.
I say thank you all the time, but
saying it and having it be felt are different things,
so I will say it again.
My body, thank you.
Straighten your back a little,
and take a deep breath.
My body, thank you.
💌
The recipient of the letter for supporting me 24/7 for a whole year is...
Wow, there are so many...
I'll have to prepare many, many letters.
What kind of stamps should I use?
Since this is a note article, I suddenly think of the icons of other noters.
The idea of thanking my body
is something I learned from a book recommended by a dear acquaintance,
so it's not 100% an original idea,
but when I realized, "Oh, I haven't thanked the existence I want to thank most!"
at the same time as saying thank you, I felt that all the hardships of life
were precious things that make up who I am.
They become seasoning for novels,
and they become material to help support someone else's troubles.
It's been a year with many things,
my body, thank you.
To those who have read this, thank you.
I also want to express my gratitude to your bodies.
Because it is only because we have bodies that we were able to meet.
Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to
YeKu for creating such a valuable opportunity.
