Cherishing the time we can laugh together🐕

Good morning, this is Chibiayu.🐕


Everyone has their own struggles,
and I think it is truly amazing that we are all getting through each day.
(Plus, it's the rainy season, after all☂️)



That is exactly why I truly feel that the time we can laugh together is so precious and important.



In the past,
there was a time when I thought I wanted to make my loved ones or the people I like happy. But I don't think we need to try so hard.




Thinking that I have to make someone happy,
or that I need someone to make me happy,
it's not about that; I think it's enough to just cherish the time we can laugh together and share our feelings.



Even when we are apart,
I want to have a gentle love,
wishing that we can both keep laughing.
(What is that, is it tasty?🐕)



The more precious someone is, the more I want to cherish them, but
surely, happiness isn't something to be hoarded alone...
It means that both I and the other person are wishing for each other's happiness.



It doesn't have to be anything as grand as saving or being saved,

just saying, "This happened to me today,"
and laughing or nodding along, saying, "That must have been tough."
I thought that having such casual moments is what true happiness is.



Even when we are apart, the feeling that we are living together makes me so happy.



If you're alive, there will be tough times.
But if we talk here, we can laugh a little.
There are places and people I want to see again.
I think that alone gives meaning to living.🐕 Trot trot





When I was a student, saying "See you tomorrow"👋 when parting with friends
was a given, but even as an adult, there might be no greater happiness than those words...



Thank you for living together with me today, across time and space.卍



Thank you for reading today as well.

A side note.🐕
(I'm posting this conversation series with my friend's grandfather, as it's surprisingly popular)

Grandpa looked a little less energetic than usual on this day.
He was staring at a tree, and was it sweat? It looked a bit like tears, too.
He had said before that his favorite person and his wife were far away, and that he was lonely after all...



We talked a little longer than usual,
and since he said he wanted to eat ice cream and asked me to join him for half, I had a little bit too🤏



Eating ice cream outside with a friend is somehow special,
and it makes me happy because it will be a memory I'll never forget🌳
Besides, Grandpa was eating it saying, "It's delicious, isn't it~," and he's so cute...🤦

When we said goodbye👋, saying I'd come again,
he had become his usual talkative self and told me he was happy we met.
(After saying goodbye, I look back several times, but he is always watching me the whole time, waving his hand big to see me off👀)




He always tells me stories I can learn from, he's kind,
he's happy when we meet,
and he praises me so much it makes me shy...
Even though I'm the one who always gets energy from him😏

I was happy to share the feeling of summer with Grandpa too.🐕🍉


Thank you very much.
