17/July

Life is short but the day is long


18/July

JP;
『小説家は誠実でなければならないのか? そういう質問の出し方が愚劣なのであって、人間は当然誠実であるべきなのだ。』

EN;
"Should a novelist be sincere? The question itself is absurd. A human being must be sincere."

(Mishima Yukio, 1964)


21/July

Narcissist hates other narcissists


28/July

we leave before we arrive


10/August

I want to write as if I speak
I want to speak as if I write
I want to express as exactly as I feel


11/August

From my dairy on 12/February/2014

JP;
私はそのころ、「あらゆる人にその人固有の経験があって、その人固有の認識があって、そして私とはまったく違う人生を歩んでいて……」といったことを思うと、人とコミュニケーションを取ることなど不可能ではないかと感じ、時折り人と話すことに恐怖を覚える時があった。

EN;
These days, sometimes this notion pops up in my mind;
"Every person has their own unique experiences, their own unique realisations......And therefore, every person has a completely different life from mine.......". And I feel like it is just impossible to connect with other people. I feel a certain fear with talking to other people.


2/September

JP;
"落ち着くんだ...『素数』を数えて落ち着くんだ...『素数』は1と自分の数でしか割ることのできない孤独な数字...わたしに勇気を与えてくれる、2...3...5...7...11...13...17...19...23...28...いや...ちがう29だ、29...31...37..."

EN;
"2...3...5...7...Calm down....Count prime numbers to keep my composure...11...13...17...19....Prime numbers are lonely numbers that can only be divided by 1 and itself...23...29...They give me strength...31...37"

16/October

Something I often think;

University students' outlook is the most characteristic and unique

Both men and women

It is a mystery (or not a mystery at all) that their clothing becomes mediocre, once they get a job & start working


1/November

In silence, only the moon watches us all


2/November

Nothing has started between us yet

But I already want to forget her


11/November

"Getting to know others is getting to know oneself"

It sounds paradoxical

Probably that’s why many are unaware


24/December

Emotion without Explanation
