On the bayfm radio program “Tonight, Under Sakura’s Tree” (every Wednesday from 24:00 to 24:30), broadcast on Wednesday, August 12, 2020.
IZ*ONE’s Miyawaki Sakura answered a question from the program staff, “I hear you buy a lot of notebooks, but what have you written in them recently?”
Miyawaki Sakura: The staff member said, “Saku-chan, I hear you buy a lot of notebooks, but what have you written in them recently? Please tell us.”
Oh. I have that notebook right in front of me right now.
I wrote something good in it recently.
My mom…I was talking about “life” with her.
We talked about how “you can decide the color of your own life.”
Even if you have something fun, if you look at it with “dark glasses,” it becomes “dark.” But if you look at “painful things” with “bright glasses,” it becomes less painful and brighter. It becomes “fun”. So in the end, whether you can live this life happily… and how you perceive many things is “up to you”.
But honestly, it’s impossible to live brightly and positively every day, so I write “It’s okay to cry when you’re sad, and at times like that, someone’s words will help you, and conversely, when the other person is sad, you can help them. I think it’s okay to live like that. Even if you take one step forward and two steps back, you can just start walking again.”
Right. Lately, I’ve been thinking about a lot of things, and I’ve been talking about them with my mom…yeah.
These are the “thoughts” I write in this notebook, and I look back on them later to get energy.
…I said some good things, didn’t I? Just now.
I hope everyone remembers these words when they’re having a hard time.
