In the past, all I did.. was either stay inside all day or go outside aimlessly. It’s like I couldn’t walk the same way as those who walked with purpose. The more people pitied me, the more pathetic I felt. I began avoiding my friends...my own grandson. That’s when this boy appeared! He was carrying a beautiful pair of red heels, so unfit for a boy. And he stood waiting outside that run-down tablao, for an old woman like me. He told me that it was the only place he could find.. And then he asked me to teach him how to use those shoes..It felt like he was telling me, “Here, I’m giving you a purpose. Now live on”...
"What kind of person is one who is capable of changing a person's life?"
My big hands, are no good for castanets, but if it’s a ball, I can hold it well. Even if my big legs can’t move fast, I can rely on them for jumping. Even if it’s just a little, everyone in the club depends on me. It’s the first time..it’s because of what that person said. I dreamt of a big beautiful, multi-colored, flower-like dress, but I...like myself now. I’m glad I met that person.
"I met this girl under full-bloomed cherry blossoms, and my fate has begun to change"
Before I knew it..against a screen of bright red clouds, I hear the refrain against the black curtains of my closed eyes. Over and over..again and again. And every time, my heart..I want to hear it again, yet I don't want to hear it. One more time I want to see her, yet I don't want to see her. This kind of feeling.. what was it called again? What do you call this kind of feeling? This is...This is probably what you call yearning, I bet
Such a cruel boy. Telling me to dream one more time. I thought I was satisfied because my dream had come true..And I’d told myself it was enough..Yet here you are, watering this withered heart again.
"I want to get to know this world in order to share it with someone else."
You know.. I used to love being on my own. Constantly going out with friends, following each other into to the toilets... Stuff like that always irked me. I’d much rather read a book on my own. Having no friends in my class didn’t bother me one bit. Doing things my own way and following my own path suited med just fine. But after coming here, being on your own or even with only one other person...makes you realize what true loneliness is. I long for people...I yearn for human company.
Until now I feel like I never really took in my surroundings like this. Like I was always wandering around with no direction... feeling irritated and impatient. Maybe I thought that I didn’t need to look carefully since I wasn’t planning to stay here too long. I thought that this world..was a detestable place. There’s quite a lot of insects here. And a lot of them are edible too. And although I didn’t notice before, if you look carefully plain flower-like plants can be seen blooming too. This world is beautiful! It’s a trilling place! I want to get to know this world in order to share it with someone else.

yea few people can actually read my manga list so I was surprised at first.
only 4th? No you need to finish the whole thing tonight >:P
Yup, Karuta from Chihayafuru. Except we were doing the easy version. It surprised me how intense it got! Like everyone there were practically beginners and half of us barely memorized our ganas but everyone was so focused!
Do you want to see pictures?
i just played some Karuta ^_^
I mean what better time to procrastinate than right before the exams! XD
jkjk, it's a great show.
Which manga was princess? are you referring to The Magi's Bride?
But if you insist on geting punished it's my turn to give you an anime recc, since I already finished your 50 episode task. i sentence you to finish all of ONE PIECE Steins;Gate, Because it's a great show and I don't remember enough of FMA:B.
I don't really actually read that much manga, pretty sure half of them are the Light Novels that I've started but I agree, I like my choice of manga too XD
I guess you've been doing well then? >:P
Just saw that when checking out my friend s's activities that you were on after like over a month. Thought I'd say hi
How've you been?
:D
Got dat 3.0 I needed to go to Japan next year!
In a good mood :D
Now I just need to work hard to maintain it!
Btw I finished Kemono no Souja
and Shigatsu
right now I have a 2.9 >.>
so essentially I have this quarter and next quarter to get my gpa above 3.0
anyways for now you're just Kage-san. unless you cant me to call you something else :p
Never been to Europe so everything about it sounds interesting haha.
And as it turns out I have a 84% in my Japanese class right now. I'd need an impossibly high 98.5 on the final to raise it to a B+.
I think I'm just going to relax this quarter and hang out with my friends a bit more.
More time for anime still! :D
I'm not working that hard but next quarter I'll have to if I want to go to japan in spring 2016.
Damn a job! Can't wait to be able to call you dentist kage-san!
Don't be nervous! Watch anime! it's my favorite form of stress relief
:)
I wonder how different graduation in norway is.
