新しい季節。The seasons change.

今年も桜は終わり、新緑が眩しい今日この頃です。

お花見しましたが、残念ながら満開は見逃してしまいました。（写真は、八分咲きの頃です。）

去年、雑誌の取材を受けたことをきっかけに、いろいろなメディアから取材依頼が入るようになりました。

私は、なるべく目立たないように、ひっそりと生きていたいと思っています…が、

苦手な事にも挑戦しようと決めたので、可能な範囲で取材を受けています。形は違えど、誰かの役に立てるのは幸せなことですし。

病院のIBD勉強会で体験談を話した事はありますが、それ以外の第三者に対して公に私の病気についてきちんと話す機会は今までほとんどありませんでした。

生きている意味を見失って、毎日がただただ辛かった、あの頃の私と同じ様な状況の人に「難病患者でも自分らしく生きることが出来る」と伝えられたら嬉しいです。

私もそうだったので。

The cherry blossoms are over this year, and it is around this time that the fresh green is dazzling.

 I saw the cherry blossoms, but unfortunately I missed the full bloom.

 Since I was interviewed by a magazine last year, I have been receiving interview requests from various media.

 I want to live quietly so that it doesn't stand out.

 However, I decided to try something I was not good at, so I was asked to interview as much as possible. It's a different shape, but I'm happy to help someone.

 And I am very grateful that they are interested not only in my work but also in my illness.

 I've talked about my experiences at the IBD study session at the hospital, but I didn't have the opportunity to talk about my illness in other public places.

 I would be happy if someone who had a hard time living every day and was in the same situation as I was at that time was told that "even patients with intractable diseases can live in their own way."

 Because I was the same.
