Things you see even when unconscious. Things you miss unless you are conscious.

Why don't you take a little break
around here?

Hello. This is RaM.

Out of all the many note articles,
thank you so much for catching sight of
and reading this one 😊

With a cup of coffee ☕️ in hand,
please take your time and relax.

This week, in addition to my regular duties,
I have also been participating in
irregular training sessions, so
my head is swollen to the brim.
(*Meaning I am cramming in information.)

Of course, there is information that is new to me,
as well as things that serve as a review, like 'Oh, that's right!'

It makes me realize just how easily my brain forgets,
and how I might have only thought I understood things,
when I actually didn't.

Among all of that, there are many points made about my own perspective
that really make me stop and think.

For example, the header image for this post.

Looking at this picture,
is there anything you notice,
or anything that catches your eye?

In this picture,
a man is holding two circles.

The circle on the right is perfectly connected.

The circle on the left has a line that doesn't quite connect and is broken.

Which one does your eye go to?

Since I was little,
I felt it was natural to conform to those around me.
I was scolded for what I couldn't do,
and I feel I had few experiences of being praised for what I could do,
so I found my eyes drawn to the left circle,
thinking, 'Oh, the line on that circle is broken.'

In my daily life,
I try to focus on what I can do.
I try to leverage my strengths.
Instead of comparing, I try to see the person in front of me as the focus.

Even though I spend my time
being conscious of such things.

Oh well, what can you do?

In the end, when things are lined up,
I find myself comparing them.

But personally,
I actually prefer the design of the left circle.

Perhaps it is more attractive to me
because it feels fluid and ephemeral,
rather than being rigidly fixed.

Seeing things as they are, in a flat way.

Although that is a difficult thing to do,
I believe it is very important.

In addition,

I am somewhat aware
that such a way of thinking is not the majority view.

That is precisely why
I must have felt an indescribable difficulty in living,
and I think that if I had met someone

who could see things that way, even just one person,
during my student days,
my life's values
might have changed a little sooner.

Well, now that I've talked about hypotheticals,
the past won't change,
so if I were to think about what I can do from now on...

The form is different for everyone.

There are things you have from the start,
and there are things you gain later.

It's easy to focus on what you can't do,
but in reality, there should be many more things you can do.

Even though you have a habit of breaking down what you can't do,
it's a shame to lump everything you can do
all together into one big group,
isn't it?

So that you can turn those things
into strengths and nourishment,

first, I want to look at myself objectively.

Things I cannot do myself,
I cannot ask of others either.

First, I must experience it for myself.

Life's challenges, there are so many, aren't there?

Lastly...

I would like to introduce an article by one of the writers I respect,
Crystal-ru-san.

Since they are a popular creator,
I'm sure many of you have already read this article
without me needing to introduce it,
but...

Actually, today's article
was born from reading Crystal-ru-san's article.

Since there were parts that overlapped with my current feelings,
I decided to output the vast amount of input from this week
at this timing,
so I wrote this.

…I wrote that coolly, but
I've stuffed so much information into my brain that
I felt like I couldn't put anything new in
unless I let something out from here,
that's all it is. Haha.

It is very mysterious, but
Ruru-san always deepens my learning
at just the right time.

Thank you very much.

This week, I've just been writing notes,
and haven't been able to interact much,
I'm sorry….

Normal interactions as Note Cafe RaM
will be a little later than planned,
and it looks like we will resume from Wednesday, 10/30.

I will continue as always,
so thank you for your continued support.🍁

May happiness come to you
who have read this far.🍀
