"Reason for Birth."

"I wonder what I'm here for."

Suddenly in the middle of the night, to you chest 🧸

In conclusion, the answer is correct because we don't know it now.

Because your life is still in the middle of a story.

The current anxiety is proof that you are filling in the blank pages with all your might.

Why don't you spell out today's page without rushing?

If you were saved by this logic, please let me know on "🧸."

... Read more人生において「自分の産まれた理由」や「生きる意味」をすぐに理解できる人は少ないです。私自身も何度も夜中にその問いかけをしては、不安に襲われた経験があります。しかし、その不安は決して悪いことではありません。むしろ、人生がまだ白紙のページであり、これから自分で物語を書き進めていく過程の証拠だと捉えています。 この考え方に出会ってからは、焦ることなく目の前のことに集中できるようになりました。もし人生の結末が最初から決まっていたら、毎日の行動に意味を見出すことが難しく、ただ流されるだけになってしまうでしょう。ですが、私たちは物語の作者として、自由に次のページを書いていける特権を持っているのです。 また、自分の人生を振り返ってみると、過去の出来事や挫折がすべて今の自分につながっていて、少しずつですが生まれた理由のヒントが見えてくる気がしています。だからこそ、答え合わせは人生の最期の瞬間にしてもいいのだと思います。そう考えると、日々の不安も意味のあるものとなり、自分を肯定する材料に変わります。 「産まれた理由」が今すぐ分からなくても、それはあなたがこれからどんな物語を書いていくのか分からない自由と可能性の証し。私もあなたも共に、今日の1ページを大切に描き続けましょう。焦らず、他人と比べず、自分らしい物語の続きを続けていくことが何より大切だと実感しています。
