🌷I used to be scared🌷

2025/9/26 Edited to

... Read more私がKISSを「最初は怖い…」って感じた一番の理由は、やっぱりメンバーのメイクでした。白塗りにくっきりした黒のライン、口元や目元のデザインが強烈で、子ども心にはインパクトが大きすぎたんですよね。でも不思議なことに、曲を聴いているうちに“怖さ”より“かっこよさ”が勝ってきて、いつの間にか推しになっていました。 今回改めて『THE VERY BEST OF KISS』のジャケットを眺めると、あの4人の並びだけで一気に当時の空気が戻ってきます。KISSのメンバーのメイクって、派手なのに「誰が誰か分かる」くらいキャラが立っているのがすごいところ。たとえば、星のモチーフが印象的だったり、目元の形が鋭かったり、口元のデザインが特徴的だったり。写真やジャケットを見返すだけでも、それぞれの個性を思い出せるのが楽しいです。 ベスト盤の良いところは、「この曲知ってる!」が連続するところ。初めてKISSに触れる人にも入りやすいし、昔好きだった人が聴き直すのにもぴったりだと思います。私も久しぶりにベストを流すと、サビで一気に記憶がつながって、当時の部屋の感じとか、テレビで見た衝撃とか、じわっと蘇ってきました。 それと、メイクが象徴的なバンドだからこそ、Tシャツやグッズも映えるんですよね。家でも外でも、ロゴやメンバーの顔が入っているだけで「分かる人には分かる」感じがあって、ちょっと嬉しくなります。もし今、KISSのメンバーのメイクや『THE VERY BEST OF KISS』が気になって検索しているなら、まずはジャケットをじっくり見てから音を流してみてください。怖かったはずなのに、いつの間にか“かっこいい”に変わっていく感覚、けっこうクセになります。

how I lost 14 lbs by eating right, not less!
I eat more now than I did on the left — I had a bad relationship with food and I was lazy when it came to cooking. I used to be one of those girls that would count calories, eat “fat free”, wait until 4/5pm to have a bite of food… I would be so hungry I’d binge, understandably. I would feel so

I Owe This Comeback to the Girl I Used to Be.✨
This comeback is personal. It’s not about proving them wrong. It’s not about looking successful on social media. It’s not about revenge or showing off. It’s an apology to the version of me who thought she had to wait. Wait for the right timing. Wait to be more perfect. Wait to feel ready.

I Used To Be So Scared Of Dying…
Is it weird that I no longer fear death because both of parents have passed on. Idk if it’s like “If they can do it, so can I” or a “I know wherever we go when we die, I’ll finally get to see them again” kinda thing. If you lost your parent(s) or a child maybe you know what I’m feeling. #lemon8c
