My Letter to Myself in the Future (15) （未来の自分への手紙-15）

‘Good morning, MisaTK. Did you enjoy the year-end and New Year holidays?’
‘Yes, I did.’
‘Do you have any idea about what you will be doing in February?’
‘Well. I am going to create collages using images. I created the first one for my resolution for the year 2025. And I am going to create them a few times a month.’
‘I see. I like your first one and fully understand what you want to do in 2025. You seem to be busy with the collages for a while. I understand that you are not good at arts such as painting.’
‘You are right. I am not good at art. But I want to try this time. I do not know if I can continue to do it. If I cannot create them, I will give up. But until then, I will keep trying.’
‘I see. Then, do you have anything else you want to try?’
‘Apart from the collages, I am now looking for something new that will enthral me. I began to think about it from December.’
‘What is your progress?
‘At first, I read a book about the art thinking. It was expected to tell me what was the art thinking, including how to find what I want to do. It was certain that it described about them. But it was not good enough to satisfy me. I stopped reading it in the middle, and I am now trying to find it on my own. So, I am at a very early stage, and I have nothing specific that I can tell you.'
‘Thank you for the information. Do you think that you can make it a specific idea in February?’
‘I am not sure about it. But I will try and have to. Otherwise, I have to los the 1st quarter without doing anything.’
‘Thank you. I hope you will find it soon’.
‘Thank you. I will do my best.’

「おはようさん、MisaTK。年末年始は楽しかった？
「そやね」
「2月にやることは決まってる？」
「まず、画像を使ったコラージュを作るわ。今年の抱負をコラージュにしたのが、最初や。これを、月に数回作る予定。」
「そうか。最初の作品はよかったで。今年何をしたいのかもよう分かった。しばらくはこれで忙しそうやね。絵なんかのアートは苦手とちやうの？」
「そやねん。でも、今回はやってみたい。続けられるかどうかはわからん。作れなかったらあきらめるつもりやけど、それまでは挑戦するわ。」
「そうか。で、他にやってみたいことはあるの？」
「今は何か夢中になれる新しいものを探しているところ。12月から考え始めたところや。」
「いま、どんな状況？」
「最初はアート思考の本を読んだ。自分のやりたいことの見つけ方や、アート思考とは何かを教えてくれると、期待して。確かにそんなことが書かれてはいたけど、不満が残った。それで、途中で読むのをやめて、今は自分で探そうとしているところや。なので、まだ初期段階で、具体的に話せることはないわ。」
「そうか。2月中に具体化できそう？」
「確信はないけど、挑戦するわ。やらなあかんのもわかってる。そうせんと、第1四半期はなにもせずに終わってしう。」
「ありがとう。すぐに見つかるとええな。」
「ありがとう。頑張るわ。」
