Secret.

Spirit of the Wind 🍃

I received a daikon radish from an acquaintance who enjoys growing vegetables.

He said,
"I've created something interesting,"
as if showing me an art piece.

It has a unique shape.
I've never seen a daikon like this before.

Non-standard items don't make it to the market,
so I won't find them in stores.

Non-standard items can be interesting if I see them as having their own personality.

In the past, in Japan,
there was a saying that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
Being different from everyone else meant exclusion.

I think there used to be a lot of that.

Now, gradually, the world is changing to respect individuality.
I believe unique individuals are being recognized.

It's changing little by little.

It's not interesting if everything is standardized.

I like unique people.
They are often very entertaining to talk to.

Well, I might be considered unusual by those around me.

After all,
when I said, "I live with my parents,"
everyone reacted with "Why?"

I just wanted to be with this person forever.

I've been a housewife, living an ordinary life.

I was moved watching Misora Hibari's Phoenix Concert on TV, inspired by her passion for singing.

I admired her ability to accomplish something.

I felt the urge to start something new.

No one knows that I started a note.

It feels somewhat secret,
making my heart race.

Will it be discovered someday?

It might never be found.
