Letter from Chuya Nakahara

Hello,
I have a day off today, and surprisingly, I slept until the evening. Now I have a headache, but at least I got some much-needed rest for once. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about someone who was once close to me...
I say this because you shouldn’t try to be the best for someone else; try to be the best for yourself. Do you understand what I mean?
I know how hard it is; in that sense, I might even be losing to you. Sunshine, learn to notice those who truly value you and cherish every moment spent together. Don’t waste your energy on those who are indifferent to you, or you might get burned in the pursuit of warmth.
And remember, emotions are normal—don’t be ashamed to show them. They shouldn’t seem wrong to you. Are you angry? Then allow yourself to vent and express it. Are you happy? Then share your smile and show everyone how good you feel right now.
Alright, I’m going to make myself some coffee. By the way, I found a kitten on the street recently and couldn’t leave it there. It somehow reminds me of you.
