Let's stop blaming ourselves.

The moment you wake up in the morning.
"Another day has begun..."
A heavy weight presses down on your chest,
and you cannot even get up.

Recalling yesterday's words and actions,
you blame yourself in your heart.

A morning so painful that you cannot even shed a tear.
Have you ever spent time like that?


Hello, this is Kizuna.

But,
you stopping there
is never a waste.

Because within the suffering, there is always a small light hidden that leads to the next step...

Even though the morning light
should be gentle,

it turns into a weight that crushes your chest.

Inside your futon,
when even breathing becomes painful,

without even shedding a tear,
only time passes by.

Even so,

the faint light deep in your heart
has not yet gone out.

While carrying your sadness,
you can still start walking.

While carrying your anxiety,
you can still lift your head.

The days you stop,
and the mornings you cannot move,
all of that

is shaping your path.

The pain of the past
becomes a color that makes you deep
and gentle,

and even the days you sank into loneliness
turn into light that illuminates the future.

I have thought"mornings are scarier than nights"many times.

At night, I can sleep with medicine or exhaustion, but in the morning, I am helplessly forced to face reality.
At such times,
my heart feels like it is about to break,

thinking, "I cannot take any more of this."
But I realized something.
The days I could not move, and the mornings so painful I could not even cry, are truly a part of me.



Blaming yourself is not a weakness.
"It is preparation for taking the next step."


💡⸻
When you feel like you are being crushed by the weight of the morning and your chesttightens,





you sometimes feel loneliness, anxiety, and fear,
thinking, "Why only me...?"But it is okay ✨That weight is proof that you are living here.

The time you cannot move,
the time you feel suffocated,
even the weight of a morning where you cannot even shed a tear


is nurturing your heart.
Please try to think that, slowly, really little by little, your heart is preparing to look forward. ☺️Resting, stopping, and looking back are all meaningful processes in life.

Your small steps will gradually open the path to the future.
So, a morning where you cannot move is never a waste.
During that time, you are noticing your feelings, regaining kindness and strength, and preparing to head toward the future.
You should proceed at your own stride and at your own pace.You do not need to rush.Each and every step is surely shaping the path and supporting your future.

💌 One last word
Today, you are here.

That existence is already someone's hope, and also your own light.
Take it slow, and move forward with certainty.
Every time you take a step, your world will begin to shine little by little.
