I wanted to write this post today with some words of wisdom because we all go through days where we don’t feel our best; where we feel like absolute shit; where we feel worthless or “not enough” because society can really affect the way we perceive ourselves; where we feel lonely even though in reality, your best friend is only a phone call away.
うまくいかない日だってある。昨日はあんなに元気だったのに今日はひどく落ち込んだり、自分は価値がないと思ったり、本当は友達と会ったり連絡取り合えるのに寂しいと思ったり。
I go through cycles of feeling down in the dumps to the point where I don’t’ want to get out of bed, to days where I feel so elated and proud of myself I could do a happy dance everywhere I go. But you know what? I don’t think it’s a shameful thing to experience this. Because it’s the hardest of times, the saddest of times and the most frustrating of times that toughen your shell to get you through even harder obstacles in life. And it makes the better moments worthwhile.
SNSではほとんど呟いたことはないんだけど、落ち込んでまた元気になってというサイクル、何回も経験しています。ベッドからすら出たくない日もあれば、嬉しすぎて一日中ハッピーダンスやりたいぐらいの日もある。でも、それって別に恥ずかしいことではないと思う。一番辛いときや悲しいとき、苛立たしいときを乗り越えるからこそ更に強い自分にたどり着くから。そして、晴れの日ももっと晴れること間違いなし。

Darling, I understand you. Every one of us has difficult days, you feel you are hindered in everything. Life is fluctuating up and down. You just have to be patient because the sun always comes after the storm. You have beautiful photos and despite everything inspire strength and energy. Be strong!

This is such a beautiful and brave post. We all feel like this, but not all our brave to talk about it. I think it’s important there is more honesty and transparency these days because we all paint such wonderful pictures of our lives. And that it is not shameful to feel this way too. Mental health is something that has so much stigma around it, hopefully this will change soon.
