[Ao-Bura Literature Club] When You Want to Give Yourself a Break | Essay

Title: The Courage to Stop for a Moment

When you want to give yourself a break,
I think that is probably proof that you have been doing your best.

When trials continue,
it feels like you can't see the end no matter how far you go,
and even your heart gets a little tired.

When you hit a wall,
the more you think about it,
it feels like you are going around in circles in the same place,
and you can't see the exit.

At times like that, the old me
would still try to push forward.

Because stopping
felt like losing somehow.

But now, it's a little different.

Stopping
is not giving up.

Rather,
I have come to think of it as preparation to move forward properly once again.

Take a deep breath,
put a little distance between you and the situation,
and let yourself rest.

When you start walking again like that,
you will notice that your view is a little clearer than before.

When you overcome it, you look back and think.

If I had pushed myself too hard back then,
there are surely views I would not have seen.

So today, too,
I will stop if I need to.

Because that, too, is surely
an important step toward moving forward.
