My future self wrote a letter to me when I was feeling down
Do you use AI?
Lately, I have been using AI like a 'partner'
to organize my fuzzy feelings
and to explore perspectives from different angles.
This time, too, as I put my inner
discomfort and thoughts into words,
I created a piece of writing that feels like a letter
from 'the me who is trying to overcome this'
to 'the me who is feeling down'.
If you
・value a sense of conviction
・are a little tired of results and achievements
and have those kinds of feelings,
this piece might make your breathing a little easier.
Title: A 'light' for us that isn't shipped out
Efficiency, or working backward from a goal.
I felt a choking discomfort in the way we force ourselves to run
by dangling a carrot called 'the future I want to obtain'.
I felt a choking discomfort in my throat.
'Even the moment I grasp it, it becomes the 'now'...'
I think my sensibility, which thinks that way,
must be an 'error' in the world of goal achievement.
When I was an office worker, with just one phrase from someone like 'Sorry! Can you handle this?',
my precious time was painted over with someone else's colors.
Even though it was my own life, I was put on a conveyor belt.
To fill the 'deficiency' of that time,
I spent every day waiting to be 'shipped' somewhere.
In a daily life where I felt a kind of emptiness,
a sense of dissatisfaction,
what I desperately protected
was a small sense of conviction,
like the 'light of a lantern' faintly illuminating my hands.
Not too strong, comfortable, but something I'd be in trouble if it went out,
a light called my own 'conviction'.
Instead of sacrificing the present for the future,
just like watching the shadows of the pyramids move little by little,
I want to carefully develop the 'texture of what is here, now'.
If you, too, are tired of being shipped out as 'someone',
try getting off the conveyor belt for once.
Why not stop for just a moment and take a deep breath?
Instead of fitting into a mold of the 'correct answer',
until you can breathe quietly as yourself.
I hope to be there for that moment of 'conviction'.
While getting help from AI,
I look back on the past and organize my current fuzzy feelings.
Taking all of that in,
I have it written down as a draft for now.
And then, I finish it while adding a little bit of my own touch.
Seeing people who work backward from the future
and keep running,
I think, 'That's amazing'.
But, I
feel the comfortable blowing wind and the changing seasons,
or watch the dappled sunlight and the shadows moving with time.
I want 'the future me' to keep feeling
that kind of 'texture of the now'.
I want to nurture a heart
that places importance on 'way of being'.
What do you value
in that future self you want to become?
I would be happy if you could tell me about the sense of the future you cherish,
sometime.
Well then, until next time.
