Like a Rich Cheesecake—Just a Bit Unusual, but Delicious
Today felt long and short at the same time.
But somehow,
like a rich cheesecake—
a little intense,
a bit peculiar,
yet surprisingly delightful.
That’s the kind of day it was.
Some time ago,
I gathered my courage and sent a DM on Instagram
to apply for a spot at a fortune-telling event.
And today—
I got a reply.
(´;ω;`)❤
I joined a Zoom session
for an online briefing about the event.
The biggest thing
weighing on my heart was the thought:
"Someone like me…?"
But I’m glad I took the plunge.
Glad I gave it a try.
After struggling with mental illness,
after fighting cancer—
I realized life only happens once.
And that thought made me feel:
Then I might as well try.
This event isn’t based on quotas,
but those who sell more tickets are given priority.
So part of me wondered—
(˘・_・˘)・・☆
maybe this isn’t something I can manage after all.
Still,
like I always do,
I asked myself:
What can I do?
I’m good at using Canva,
so I decided to express my thoughts through that.
Will I be able to grasp
that red balloon?
Or will it slip from my hands
and float away?
I don’t know.
But I posted the piece on X,
and I feel like—
just maybe—
I did my best today.
Of course,
there are things I might lose.
Actions I take on my own
might lead to failure,
to getting hurt.
But even so…
Compared to those painful days
in the hospital,
when I could hardly breathe—
this feels like living.
It’s hard, yes.
But I can take a deep breath
and reach my hand toward the sky.
There’s nothing there in particular.
Nothing guaranteed.
But I just wanted to do it.
Tonight.
Wishing you strength for tomorrow, too.
And may you all
stay well and safe.
