Let's take a look at your "Slow Connection"

Hi there and HELLO MAY! This is the beginning of the brand new month! I'm excited :)

During your #StayAtHome , how many persons do you communicate every day? Some of you might communicate more with online friends than friends in the real world. (I think this is nonsense to divide online and offline now.)

I live supported by the "Slow Connection" right now. "Slow Connection" means the relationships which are connected not so tightly but always stay connected. Such as your friend in SNS.

Let's throwback and see my "Slow Connection" for the last 5 years.

1. When I was married

Believe it or not, I used to think it's bothering to make connections with others. My friends, connections were only my husband, family, co-worker, old friends from high school, and university.  I need to admit that I used to try so hard to maintain a relationship with my husband.

Besides, I thought like that; "Why do I need to invest my time and money to make friends with others?"

2. During/after my divorce mediation

I realized after my relationship with husband broken.

"All I had is only one connection."

I began to feel lonely, however, my old friends had children and their center of lives moved to their family. Also, there was no energy left to make new friends.

I was extremely desperate but joined one event from Katsuma-Juku. I remember every single moment of this event.

First, before I entered the venue, I felt a little bit scary. But after I joined the event, there were so kind persons who accepted me really kindly.

From this day, I started to think "Slow Connection" is important.

The positive effect of "Slow Connection"

If you have "Slow Connection", you can receive a lot from them.

You can share your knowledge and idea with them and get motivated by them always. Then your daily life will be more colorful and fun.

The biggest attraction of "Slow Connection" is that you can make a change happen with them, even if it's a big change.

And also, there's security feeling that you are not alone.

If you live like "old me" who takes care of only one connection, in case if the connection breaks, your life would be in trouble. So, let's connect with many people not too tightly, and increase the number of connections day by day.

I promise that will help you one day.
