Long Vacation

There's an old Japanese drama (from the nineties, I think) called Long Vacation. 

The plot follows:

a 25 year old piano major who can't seem to find the confidence to confess to the girl he likes and doesn't play well enough to win competitions because of a mental barrier

And

A 31 year old woman who's been a model all her life but can no longer get any good modelling jobs because she's getting old and also got left at the altar by her fiancé. 

Anyway they meet and eventaully, they accidentally fall in love and consequently help each other move forward in their lives.

Near the beginning of the drama, when they're talking about how they're both kind of in a rut, and at low points in their lives, the guy says something to the effect of "think of this as a long vacation in which you've been given the time to take a rest from the things in your life that have brought you down and figure out what to do and stand back up again" 

Lately I've felt like this is my "Long Vacation". But I'm so ready for it to end. But maybe kamisama thinks my time hasn't come yet. What do I have to do to make my life move forward? 

Meet Kimura Takuya and learn how to play piano? =="

"Hey, I love you"

I'm not usually the type to post this kind of thing. I see no point in these sorts of text images but I saw this today and some people's faces just popped into my mind so I felt kind of compelled to write this post. 

Sometimes when I'm looking at someone I love, or I'm talking to a friend, or I'm thinking of someone I care about or even just someone I know is a wonderful person, I have this urge to smile and tell them I think they're amazing. Truly, I do. I have moments like that. 

I know, I know, it's odd right? I've never really been that type of person. I don't throw compliments around like some people do. Maybe it's because I'm awkward, who knows. But at least this way, when I compliment someone, you know I mean it because the urge to say something nice has overpowered my reluctance to talk to people. LOL. 

I think I once wrote a post similar to this, in which I told the people I love of all the wonderful things and happiness I wanted for them. That one was much simlper and sweeter, I think. 

But maybe it's time to remind the people in my life again:

"Hey, I think about you"

"Hey, I want the best for you"

"Hey, I want you to be happy all the time"

"Hey, you're wonderful and amazing"

"Hey, I wish for you at 11:11" 

"Hey, you matter so much to me" 

"Hey, when you talked to me the other day, I smiled" 

"Hey, you make me smile" 

"Hey, know that if I could, I would protect you from all the hurt the world wants to inflict upon you" 

"Hey, you truly deserve happiness and good fortune, and I wish I could give them to you" 

I'm sorry that I'm often prone to being sentimental (It comes in sudden waves, I can't control it) but I just wanna tell the people I love that I love them ^^

What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't occasionally reveal intimate details of my life on the internet?

It's been a year since that day with the shyness and the candy outside ic3 ♥

heheh

Even though I can't see him today (which I know is sad and my fault and i'm sorry) I'm still happy because he wrote me an adorable love letter and collected heart shaped candy for me ^^

這是我們的紀念日　紀念我們開始對自己誠實

　願意為深愛的人　放棄驕傲　

說少了你

生活淡的沒有味道
