  • Don’t waste your life trying to control what you can’t. 

You can’t control:
– What people think of you
– The past
– How others act 

But you CAN control:
– Who you spend your time with
– The standards you live by
– The value you bring
– The boundaries you set
– The effort you give
– How you speak to yourself 

When you shift your focus from what’s outside your control
to what’s in your hands right now—
your peace increases, your power multiplies. 

Focus where your power is. The rest? Let it go. 

#mindsetmatters #energyprotection #personalgrowth
  • Ask yourself every once in a while, am I doing things in my life for me or am I doing things in my life for other people?

Am I doing things in life because they make me feel good and they make me feel excited and they make me feel confident or am I doing things because I’m trying to impress other people and because I wanna fit in?

  • Green flags mean safe 🌱
Red flags mean run 🚩
ChatGPT said I’m a purple flag 💜
Purple flags mean growth, honesty.
Balanced, self-aware, and still learning.
Hi, it’s me.

#purpleflag #greenflagredflag #selfaware
  • Stop asking what I should wear. 
There’s no “in” or “out” style for me. 

There are no rules.
No trends.
No approval needed.

If I like it, I wear it.

  • Simple dinners are my favorite. When you come home from work and exhausted, you don’t want to cook complicated meals. It’s simple and still satisfying 🩷
Boiled eggs, smashed with quark(fresh cheese or Greek yogurt works too), mustard, salt & a splash of vinegar.
Paired with veggies and a baguette. 
Nothing fancy, just good 🤍

  • Social media & me.
A place where I don’t explain myself.
Just create, express, and move closer to my dream.

  • Learn to protect yourself. People will make up all sorts of things about you.

Sometimes protecting yourself doesn’t look loud.

It looks like matcha, knitting, and choosing calm over chaos.

Peaceful thinking is my way of staying gentle with myself.

  • I’m so proud to share this.
My cousin Toru has been awarded the 2025 Prime Minister’s Award of Japan for his work in barrier-free and universal design.
They have engaged with individuals facing daily challenges, including people with disabilities, the elderly, and parents, working to create a safe and comfortable environment and develop services to enhance daily life.
This is what “leaving no one behind” looks like in real life.
Congratulations, Toru. Your heart for Nagasaki is inspiring 🤍🇯🇵

To Prime Minister Takaichi, 
This award is not only a meaningful acknowledgment of my cousin’s efforts and dedication, but also a source of inspiration for all of us. 
We truly appreciate your leadership and your commitment to recognizing contributions that make a positive impact on society.
