Thank you for your feedback & encouragement on today’s Story (It is under Highlight-Survey – Im sorry I haven’t replied all of the DM but read them). The biggest message I received is “Be who you are. Follow your heart.” I appreciate it. However, I am not sure who I am & what is my heart telling me “in this matter”. I am still wondering. If you know me in person or via Online Class, you can tell how “different” I am here. When I do not have to be “difficult”, I feel more comfortable in giving. That’s what I learned from my mother. That’s how I started – sharing everything with polite interactions – with hoping that we would have mutual respect.

Unfortunately, my hope didn’t turn out so great. I made many mistakes. I got hurt very badly. Many unfortunate misinterpretations happened. As a result, I decided to “be as difficult as I can” on SNS. I do not want to repeat any of the misery I had experienced. I am still the same person in Class/Workshop where I don’t feel the needs to be difficult.

I will probably not change here – reasons I need to be “difficult” still remain. However, I also understand the needs of “easy”. Happy and Stubborn. I wish I didn’t have to be difficult – but I am not that naive to ignore all the risks again. My goal is to share the Sashiko as is – not to be liked by popularity.

☆

If you prefer my “easy-going”, please follow my “business account”- @upcyclestitches as well. The goal of Upcycle Stitches is to try the best to make ends meet with Sashiko somehow, so I am nicer there (I guess). If you prefer “real” Atsushi, taking Class / supporting on Patreon is probably the way. I believe I keep who I am there (ask around an insight from people who knows me in person/Online Class).

☆

I will keep this account unchanged – and as many advised, I will follow my heart with wondering who I really am. Thank you for your time in the series of “wondering what to do”. I will go back to normal posting with sharing the Sashiko we practice.

最近英語の文章量が増えているのは、ここ最近の「痛み」が、上手く抑制できないようになってきたから。詳細はまた、配信でお話できれば。
