The Quiet Struggle Behind My Love for Connection
Jinsei no hotondo no jikan, kokoro kara tsunagatte iru to kanjiru koto ga muzukashikatta desu.
Watashi to onaji kurai no hito-tachi ga, kantan ni kaiwa ni haitte, muzukashisa nado nai yō ni yūjō o kizuiteiru no o mimashita…
While I stood on the edge, wondering what I was missing.
I mostly felt I was born to do things alone and stay by myself…
Ironī na koto ni, kōkai de ienakatta koto o, jibun de kakite iru koto ni kizuki mashita.
Kotoba o tsukuru koto wa watashi no hashi ni narimashita.
Sore wa setsumei dekinakatta koto o hyōgen suru chikara o kuremashita.
They gave shape to emotions I didn’t know how to share.
Through writing, I felt seen, and slowly, I learned how to help others feel seen too.
Dakara ima, watashi wa kakimasu.
Uru tame de wa naku, tsunagu tame ni.
To turn quiet thoughts into clear messages.
To speak for those who don’t yet have the words.
And maybe… to finally belong to a team that values that kind of voice.
Writing helped me connect when my voice felt unsure.
Sore wa watashi ga kanjite ita koto… kokoro kara taisetsu ni omotte ita koto o hyōgen suru no o tasukete kuremashita.
Over time, that love for communication turned into a craft.
I became a copywriter…
Not just because I like words, but because I believe they can move people, build trust, spark understanding, and make someone feel less alone, even through a screen.
Which is why Japan draws me in so deeply.
There’s a quiet intentionality in its culture, a way of speaking through subtlety, design and silence.
A kind of communication that says so much with so little.
It’s the kind of depth I’ve always longed to be part of.
The kind that doesn’t just inform but connects soul to soul.
So this isn’t just a career move…it’s a calling.
A hope to grow in the place that shaped my sense of beauty and meaning.
To contribute, to belong, and to give back using the very thing that’s about to save me… WORDS.
That desire to contribute has become more than just a feeling…
It’s moved me to study the language, embrace the culture, and take real steps toward building a life in Japan.
Even from far away, I’m learning every day with the hope that one day soon, I’ll not just admire Japan from a distance…
But live, grow, and create within it.
Not just to build a career, but to experience the kind of connection I’ve searched for my whole life.
Kyōkan, meikaku-sa, soshite hontō no ningen no monogatari o taisetsu ni suru chīmu nara, watashi wa zehi tsunagari tai to omotteimasu.
Because maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the first team where I finally feel like I belong.
Saigo made yonde kudasatte, hontou ni arigatou gozaimashita. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
