In today’s social media, many people follow so-called “influencers” wishing to be like them. Especially in the young generation, it is understandable to hope to be one of these successful personnel with beautiful houses, cars, and gorgeous tangible “stuff”. I understand it because I was one of those in the past.

I appreciate I have more than 25K followers now. However, I do not want you to wish to be like me. I want you to be happy with you. By following this account, you may remember (re-learn) who you are (where you are from) instead of wishing to be someone else. Throughout the workshops/class/interaction on SNS, I was taught that Sashiko is a great way to remember/learn who we really are.

I dare not to decorate who I am to get attention. Driving a luxury car with million $ accessories to show off how successful I am is the last thing I want to do in this life. Instead, I would like to be a trigger for someone’s life. If one feels that their life gets a bit brighter by learning Sashiko, it is my sincere pleasure. Hopefully, my daughter will learn something from those who I had been part of their life.

It is kinda fishy to just say, “You are great as who you are” without knowing who you are. However, Sashiko (or any other hand-working) may give you a moment to tell yourself the phrase, from the one who knows about you the most – yourself. Sashiko without thinking will provide the moment like this – and I would like to share that here.

日々が忙しくてごちゃごちゃになりがちですが、でも忙しいからと言って心を亡くす日々にはならないように気をつけています。日本語でも沢山表現をしたいと願いながら、どうしても英語に焦点を当ててしまう事、ご理解頂ければ幸いです。しっかりと日本語で刺し子を紹介しなければと思って早1ヶ月。歩みは遅いですが、諦めることだけはしません。ここまで何度も復帰してるので……ね（笑）
