[Akuneko Translations] Kawakami Hanamaru Advice Q&A Login Story
“If I couldn’t attain my goals and dreams, what should I do? When I think about this, I would hesitate to take another step in my path.”
[On a certain day, I consulted Hanamaru about my problem.]
“If I couldn’t attain my goals and dreams, what should I do? When I think about this, I would hesitate to take another step in my path.”
I see, I see, so Arujisama’s also got all kinds of problems, huh.
When you’re thinking all by yourself…your mood would get pulled right down, won’t cha?
It’ll exhaust a lot of energy…it’s hard for ya, isn’t it?
Well, you came to the right person to discuss this.
You’re gonna be alright, let this experienced and dandy Hanamaru-sama to guide this lost Arujisama.
Shall we take some of the preconceptions down?
Arujisama is currently troubled by all kinds of things, that’s why they’re causing you to not able take another step, right?
Well, to me…I think that, “going forward isn’t necessarily correct.”
Just as Arujisama is feeling anxious about it…if you were to put your all into this and you couldn’t attain it, it must be agonizing.
Could it be that I couldn’t do it from the start…? You feel like your self confidence is being chiseled down.
When you think like that, of course you would feel scared about it.
I think everyone would want to avoid that kind of thing.
That’s why, there’s no need to blame yourself about being in a dilemma about whether to continue or not…
There are a buncha people in this world who don’t give their all and gave up on their dreams at the end…
But…to say if this kind of person would definitely live unhappily or in regret…we couldn’t really conclude with that, right?
Even if you give up on continuing your path…your future will not be bleak.
On the contrary, even if you give your all to make your dreams come true…doesn’t guarantee that you’ll have a bright future ahead of you.
Look at me…I’ve trained hard since childhood and finally attain my dream to become a bounty hunter…
But at the snap of a finger…even when I attained my goals, my village was totally destroyed.
You never know what to expect when you’re in this world.
….ah, I’ve gone off track.
So there’s no need to blame yourself for not continuing.
You don’t have to torture yourself with thoughts like “if I don’t continue, I’ll suffer in misery.”
You just have to do it slowly~to the point you wouldn’t crumble from the stress.
….and if I have to say something…
It’s alright if you decided not to continue your path…but before that…imagine the “you after you give up on your dreams.”
You’ll be living a different lifestyle than you have now…
Even if it’s an uncrossed path with your dreams…but perhaps you’ll still be smiling happily.
….how about it? Could you imagine that?
If you could accept that image…I’m sure Arujisama’s decision making would be much freer.
You just have to follow your heart and choose a path that’s easier for you.
But, if you feel a glimpse of “dislike” when you think of that image of yourself…
You should still collect the courage and take the first step.
Don’t think about how “you can’t do it.”
If you dislike the “you who gave up”…then there’s no other options, right?
Heh, heh, it’s alright, Arujisama.
I already gave it my all to gently talk you out of it…about “how you don’t have to attain your dreams.”
If you didn’t faze at this gentle and sweet temptation…and continue to stand by your wishes…
Then Arujisama will surely…have the strength to hold onto your dreams.
You don’t have to worry about it.
Please give it your all to do what you desire.
I’ll give my all to support you, Arujisama.
