若者たちは愛を選ぶ。

若者は愛を選んでいる。

流行りや騒ぎに流されるんじゃなくて、

本当に自分が大切にしたいものを選ぶ時代になってきている。

たとえば

名の知れているブランド物よりも「自分の感覚に合うもの」**を選ぶ人が増えてる。

「流行ってるから」じゃなくて、「本当に自分が好きか？」を基準にする。

**恋愛でも、結婚より「自分らしい関係」**を選ぶ人が増えてる。

世間体や「いい年だから」じゃなくて、本当に一緒にいたい人と過ごす方が大事になってる。

**仕事も「安定より、自分の好きなこと」**を選ぶ流れ。

昔は大企業が絶対的に安定って言われてたけど、今はフリーランスや小さくても自分でやる道を選ぶ人が増えてる。

情報に流されて生きるんじゃなくて、「自分がどう感じるか」を大切にする時代になってるのであろう。

バレンタイン前のTIKTOK再生数が大幅に落ちたから

勝手に分析。個人TIKTOKアカウントのユーザーは１８歳から２４歳の若年層男子。

年末年始もこのような現象に陥ったことがある。気落ちせずに淡々と投稿することで

ある日を境目にいつも通りに流れが

落ち着いた。

今回感じたことは

”毎日何かしらを

やり続ける人は少ない”ことを知る。

私は

このまま突き進む

やり続けられるものができた今

私は快感を感じている。

私はクラシックな映画しか見ない

最近、小津安二郎の晩秋を鑑賞したので

今後クリエイター目線で分析ブログを上げたいと思う。

Happy valentine days to all .

Stay tune to what you love x　☺︎

Times of Confusion: A Process of Growth

It’s true.

Times of confusion are a chance to test ourselves.
There are things we can only see by going through them.

When we feel, “Something feels off” or “Is this really the right path for me?”—
it means we are in the middle of growth.
Through trial and error, we begin to see our true essence more clearly.

The more we get lost, the stronger we become when we find our core.
That’s why this feeling of “Finally, I’m back” exists—
because of everything we’ve experienced.

The things we almost forgot,
The things we rediscovered,
There are so many benefits.

After all, this is who I am.

The Power of Human Connections and Influence

Human connections and the influence we receive from others have the power to elevate us and open doors to new perspectives.

"The impact of people around us can be seen in many ways, such as these:"

1. Words and Attitudes Can Change Our Hearts

A simple phrase like "You can do it" from a friend can give us the courage to take on new challenges.
On the other hand, negative words can make us doubt ourselves and lose confidence.

2. Influence on Thoughts and Values

Someone who shares a meaningful book or a common interest can expand our worldview.
Learning about new cultures and perspectives from others can shape our decisions and life choices.

3. The Atmosphere of Our Environment Affects Our Emotions

Being surrounded by positive and uplifting people naturally makes us feel motivated and inspired.
Conversely, spending too much time around negativity can pull us down emotionally.

4. Changes in Actions and Habits

When we spend time with people who prioritize their health, we may also start making healthier choices.
Watching proactive individuals take bold steps can inspire us to step out of our comfort zones.

5. The Birth of Dreams and Goals

Having supportive people around us fuels our drive to push forward.
Meeting like-minded individuals with shared aspirations can become the catalyst for our own ambitions.

Recent Reflections

Lately, I have been deeply aware of how much the people we spend time with influence our thoughts and actions.
For instance, engaging with positive and forward-thinking individuals naturally lifts my own spirits. In contrast, spending too much time in a negative environment can impact my mindset.

This realization has made me appreciate the importance of choosing who I surround myself with and the kind of environment I create. It has also made me aspire to be someone who positively influences others.

"Spending time with good people" may seem simple, but it is incredibly powerful—it has the ability to transform our daily lives.

Why I Feel This Way

The reason I’ve been thinking about this is that, in Japan—and in today’s world as a whole—we must actively seek out good information for ourselves. No one else will do it for us.

I find it fascinating to create my own worldview rather than passively accepting whatever is given to me. I want to continuously elevate myself, refining my mindset and surroundings.

Most importantly, I don’t want to be influenced by the negativity and chaos of the world. Instead, I choose to shape my own reality, consciously selecting what empowers me and aligns with my values.

Because Elevating Myself is My Own Responsibility

No one else can lift me up—it’s my own responsibility. That’s why I strive to refine myself every day.

I want to sharpen my intuition, making better decisions and sensing opportunities that align with my vision.

By strengthening my instincts and choosing the right influences, I can continue to grow without being swayed by the noise of the world.

English Brain vs. Japanese Brain – A Completely Different Way of Expression

The way we think and express ourselves in English is entirely different from how we do in Japanese. Sentence structures, nuances, and even the flow of thoughts change depending on the language.

For now, I’m writing and translating on my own, but once this blog gains momentum, I’d love to hire a professional translator. A skilled translator can capture not just the words, but the true essence of my thoughts—something that automated translations or self-translations can’t always achieve.

Until then, I’ll keep refining both my English and Japanese expressions, making sure my message reaches as many people as possible.　　Hopefully !!

Thank you for reading!
I appreciate your time and support. Stay tuned for more!　　From / Kana ☺︎

Why I Started This Blog

I started this blog because I needed a space to express my inner thoughts.

By putting my experiences and realizations into words and sharing them, I can organize my ideas while creating something that resonates with others.

Writing deepens my thoughts and helps me understand myself more clearly, which I believe contributes to my personal growth. Additionally, if my experiences and insights can inspire or connect with others, that would be truly meaningful.

Another major reason is that sharing expands my world.

I use photography and words to tell stories, and I see blogging as the perfect tool to reach more people.

What Kind of Topics Will I Cover? And Why?

I will share content under the theme “Living Cool”, focusing on the following areas:

1. Self-Growth & Awareness

➡︎ Every day, I experiment with my own actions and habits to see how they shape me.

By sharing my realizations and discoveries, I hope to encourage readers to reflect on their own lives.

2. Photography & Storytelling

➡︎ I love capturing stories through photography, and I want to extend that into my blog.

By adding context and personal thoughts to each image, I can communicate emotions on a deeper level.

3. Lifestyle & Aesthetics

➡︎ I pursue a simple yet refined way of living.

I value self-improvement and believe that maintaining a strong sense of aesthetics in fashion, beauty, food, and daily habits contributes to becoming the best version of oneself.

Through sharing my journey, I want to inspire others to embrace their own unique way of living.

4. Connections & Community

➡︎ I cherish human connections.

That’s why I will write about the people I meet and the communities I create along the way.

By sharing stories born from these connections, I hope to offer fresh perspectives to my readers.

What I Aim to Achieve Through Blogging

This blog is not just a personal diary; it is both a record of my self-improvement and a source of motivation for others.

I am committed to refining my way of life and becoming even more confident, stylish, and intentional.

By documenting my journey in words, I want to convey the excitement of self-growth and the importance of pursuing one’s own path.

Ultimately, I want my words to create a movement—something powerful enough to inspire and influence others.

That’s why I will continue this blog, always evolving along the way.

Summary

• Why I started this blog: To express myself and expand my world through storytelling.

• Topics I will cover: Self-growth & awareness, photography & storytelling, lifestyle & aesthetics, and human connections.

• What I aim for: To pursue a cool way of living, document the process, and inspire others through my journey.

Through this blog, I will embody the essence of “Living Cool”!

When I uploaded my blog in Japanese on Facebook, someone mentioned that they couldn’t read it because it wasn’t in English.

As part of my SEO strategy, I have decided to structure my blog into separate formats for English and Japanese.

With this approach, I am now fully committed to starting my blog and refining my thoughts through writing.

Thanks !
