雑記／Misc.

チャリ／徒歩で目黒と品川を友だちに会いにうろうろした一日。
抜けるような青だけど、結構寒かったよね。
皆さん、私はやっと長引いた風邪が去ってくれたけど、お元気ですか？


今日は久しぶりにあった友だちに、諸々見抜かれてて、怖かった！
けど愛しいし、嬉しいな。
本人には強くなんかないし、強くなんかありたかないやい、
と言われるかも知れないけど
強くて美しい女たちに囲まれて、幸せ。
この人たちに恥ずかしくない自分でありたい、と思う。


そんなご近所ハングを助けてくれる私のおんぼろチャリをついに修理に出しました。
油面自転車さんばんざい。
何も決まってないけど、この春はきっとわりと近場で仕事することが多い気がする、
ってなことでの修理でした。
何度も書いてるけど、最近やっとここが私のホームって開き直れたから、
希望も含めて修理から戻って来たあと、余計に丁寧に自転車磨いちゃった。
折角だから、ここを私の第三のホームにするつもりで地域密着で色々やってきます。


NYを出る時に数人の友人が私にくれたことばがある。
「君は、どこの街へ行ってもやっていける」
この二年、めげそうな時もこのことばをお札のように胸に掲げて自分のおしりをたたいてやってきてて。

皆が言ってくれたの嘘じゃなかったでしょ？皆のおかげなのよ？
って言いたいから。
証明なんかできないし、しなくてもいいって知ってる。
でもしたいの。
見栄っ張りだし、結局はそんな自分が好きだから。
いいのさ！


そして、色々思うところありiText Expressを導入してみました。
有言でも無言でも今年は何でもやれるだけやります。


愛をこめて、
ゆき


Wandered around my hood by walking and biking to catch up with some friends.
It was beautiful day but still chilly.
Hope you are doing well as I myself just shook off cold that was bugging me for a week.


Anyway, it was kinda scary that one of them knew what I have been up to without me telling her.
Gotta watch out for a woman's instinct, huh?
But I am so grateful to have these beautiful and strong ladies in my life.
They might not be particularly flattered to hear me praising their strength.
I just want them to know, however, they are the reason why I try to live honestly so I will have nothing to hide or be ashamed of whenever I see them.


I also took my bike, which has been around more than a decade, to a repair shop today.
I have a feeling that I might be working a lot in my neighborhood from this spring.
Maybe that is only my wishful thinking, which is fine because I am determined that this is my home now.
What is wrong with the idea of thriving and making a strong network in your community, right??
So come see me here in Meguro;)



There are these words that a few friends gave me when I left NY.
'You will make it anywhere you go'
I have been carrying these little words like a charm in my chest since then.
And I have been constantly reminding them to myself whenever I feel like just quitting on trying.

I know I can't prove anything and I don't have to.
Yet I do want to so badly.
'Y'all were right, and it is all thanks to you!'
That is what I wanna holler at them someday.
That is me I love after all.

I also installed iText Express for a particular reason.
Like I told you, I will try whatever I want to this year.


Much love,
Yuki
