Follow your heart

On a dark night – When the pines smell like death, And the stars look like tears, I find myself hanging beneath the sky.

Whenever I was asked what I wanted my first impulse was to answer “Nothing.” The thought went through my mind that it didn’t make any difference, that nothing was going to make me happy.

As I crawled deeper and deeper into the grove, I began to understand the place I was in. Perhaps I could see more clearly because I had grown used to my fear… … .

And the three men I admire most

The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

They caught the last train for the coast

A song stronger than despair

To reach you

Just one more step, just one more trek

To go beyond the night

I have nothing worth boasting about. No learning to speak of. No talent. My body’s a mess, my heart impoverished. Only the fact that I’ve known suffering…that’s all I have, the only straw of pride I can cling to. But it’s one I’ll never let go of. A lot of people have written me off as a spoiled, selfish child, but how many really know how I’ve suffered inside?

Dazai Osamu, “One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji” from Self Portraits

I envy him for having that pride...

Anxiety was trapped in the depths of my heart, like a formation of black clouds I could not break free of. By living this way, what will my fortune be? There is nothing. Am I simply a sickly man? I was staggered by these thoughts. What should I do? I had no direction, nothing. I though that this reckless life of mine was only a nuisance to others and devoid of meaning. This is quite hard to bear. A talented guy like you probably doesn’t understand, but no thought in the world is worse than the realization that, ‘My life is a nuisance to others. I am useless.’

Humans are sorry, pitiful beings. No matter whether we succeed or fail, are intelligent or dimwitted, win or lose: we will harden our expressions and exert our strength, running around sweating from morning to evening, and meanwhile only grow older. I wonder if that is all we were put on this earth to do. What separates us from insects? It’s so stupid. I have lived and worked all my life… but now I realize I am a fool. I have been deceived… They all have deceived me.

Dazai Osamu, A New Hamlet

[melody10801]

I realized...

[melody10801]

Us, again

Each on our own path

We started walking

If we meet again

At the intersection ahead

At that time, just the two of us

We want to talk for a long, long time

Until the morning comes

We want to talk it all out

Now it's goodbye

ぼくらまた

それぞれの道をさ

歩み始めたのさ

その先にある

交差点でまた会えたら

その時は二人で

長い長い話を

夜が明けるまで

語り明かしたいね

今はグッバイ

Every memory of looking out the back door

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory of walking out the front door

I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it

Goodbye, goodbye

(Goodbye)

What convinces readers is realism, while what fascinates them is romanticism.

Nakajima Atsushi, Light, Wind, and Dreams

Because every time this quote is posted someone takes offense, let's take a moment to define realism and romanticism are in literature:

Realism vs. Romanticism - What's the Difference? | This vs. That

What's the difference between Realism and Romanticism? Realism and Romanticism are two distinct artistic movements that emerged in the 19th

Realism vs. Romanticism What's the Difference?

Realism and Romanticism are two distinct artistic movements that emerged in the 19th century. Realism focused on depicting everyday life and ordinary people in a straightforward and objective manner, often highlighting social issues and political realities. In contrast, Romanticism emphasized emotion, imagination, and the beauty of nature, often portraying fantastical or idealized scenes. While Realism sought to capture the truth of the world as it is, Romanticism aimed to evoke powerful emotions and inspire a sense of wonder and awe. Despite their differences, both movements played a significant role in shaping the artistic landscape of their time and continue to influence artists today.
