The Magic of Turning a Pinch into a 'Like'. You Are Not Alone, Our Renovation #4
We who live in the real world cannot pull off super-dimensional shots like in manga.
Painful mistakes at work, trouble in relationships, days that don't go as planned—.
Many 'formidable enemies' appear before us every day.
But when you face that pinch, I want you to try whispering this to yourself in your heart.
'This is where the interesting part of my story begins.'
Last time (the 3rd installment), I talked about the beginning of such a 'heart renovation'.
This 4th installment is about 'friends' who make that story even broader and richer.
── The loneliness I felt within the team during junior high school
Deep in my heart, there is a memory from my junior high school days.
At the time, I was carrying the weight of team discord, a sense of loneliness that I 'might not fit in with those around me,' and anxiety about being isolated.
Even though I was in a group, I was somehow all alone. I was in the middle of such a pinch.
However, that 'painful experience' from back then is what has become the catalyst for creating new magic now.
💡 3 points of this 'heart renovation'
1. Evolution of the 'Heart's Uniform'
The heart's uniform, which until now was 'courage' or 'hope' to protect just myself. By connecting with friends, it evolves into a uniform of more concrete and diverse words like 'a small step' and 'for someone else'.
2. A pinch turns into a 'skill of empathy'
Because I once tasted loneliness and frustration, I can now feel the pain of the friends struggling right in front of me. Past pinches are renovated into a new skill called 'empathy' to understand and support each other.
3. Empathy by the name of 'Like'
Respecting and affirming each other's clumsy stories. That warm feeling called a 'Like' breaks down walls that couldn't be crossed alone and forges strong bonds.
── From the darkness of loneliness to a place of 'friends' overflowing with light
The stage of fighting alone is over.
From now on, there are friends with whom we can share past wounds and future challenges.
Our story becomes even more interesting through connection.
To all the readers who have followed me so far, thank you very much.
This 4th installment is a 'promised episode' filled with gratitude to all of you.
You are not alone. Our renovation that has continued since those days in junior high.
Won't you continue to create this warm story together with me?
'This is where the interesting part of our story begins.'
