“Hagu-chan, I like you.”
I wanted to say it no matter what.
I couldn’t bring myself to say it all along.
But the words have uncontrollably sprung from my mouth
I didn’t need to ask in order to know Hagu-chan’s answer.
That is why I am already very satisfied
to have brought myself to say it.

In order for the soup base to be delicious,
you have
to be willing to sacrifice yourself
to be part of a side dish.
It’s this heart of self sacrifice.

When I was young, while riding my bike
I suddenly thought,
If I was to ride like this forever, how far will I go?
Once I left Tokyo, I never turned around.
I never stopped the pace of my journey.
The more I pedaled, the more I felt the insecurity and plainness of my views of the future.
Even my worries were slowly fading away.
Also,the further I went, the more deeply I felt the importance of the things I was leaving behind and how I was distancing myself from them.
Because, I have a place I want to return to,
that is why I have the motivation to continue this journey.
Because there’s people I want to see.
That is why I hope I can find the courage.
That is why..
Finally, at the end of my journey
I saw a place with no wind or rain.
It’s time to go back
To go back to the place that belonged to me and everyone…
It’s time to go back
To go back again on the same lengthy journey.

Painting was never for the purpose of others
I..like this painting.

If I fall in love with someone else,
I’ll feel like the love I’ve been feeling up till now were all lies.
I’ll be afraid.
I’m afraid to face how stubborn I was about love in the past.
It’s frustrating.
It’s painful.
Everything would be like a dream.
