Day 6

Day 06- Earliest thing you can remember
~~
My dad is holding me and my family is gathered at my Nana's house for a party I guess. Everyone is in the kitchen. Someone holds a bag of chips out to me, so I take one out and take a bite. Not sure how I felt about it, so I put it back. Everyone laughed and went "oh nooo, don't put it back!"


Lame, I know~ XD

Day 5

Day 05- A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life

~~

I want to pick my boyfriend, Matt. 


Just before we had really started talking, I had ended a very difficult relationship, and was at the end of another terrible one. I was so ready to give up with trying to find that "Prince Charming." Yeah, to me, emotional abuse was normal in a relationship, and I got used to being the only one who put time into anything for two people. I convinced myself that I was supposed to act a certain way in order to be loved. I found that I could never say what I wanted, be what I wanted, do what I wanted without scrutiny. I thought I felt love, but it was nothing.


You are the perfect man. You are a Prince. When you and I were flirting and giggling, I was never so nervous. I could see it in your eyes, too. Since then, I couldn't stop thinking of you, and I haven't stopped. Do I deserve such grace, kindness, and love? Laughing together, laying together, crying together is the best time of my life. Every morning, you are my first thought, and your goodnight kiss lulls me to sleep. You've made me happy, you've made me confident, you've made me whole. I love you so much.

Day 4

Day 04- What you imagine paradise to be like


~~~
 
My paradise is the beach. A long, open beach with a gentle breeze. Waves come and go along the shore, making the most beautiful sound. The most ideal time is early dusk, when the sky is still bright, but has turned purple, red, orange, and yellow. The sand is so fine, it is almost powder. My skin is warm from the day's sun with just a tinge of color. My hair is blown from the sea, my feet are sandy.
 
OMG, where is my margarita?
LOL
 
Love,
Ayu

Day 3

Day 03- The five songs you would have with you on a desert island and why

This is so unbelievably hard to do... but here are some good ones~

~~~

Rainbow - Ayumi Hamasaki
This song is about running away from yourself because you can't accept who you are. It teaches you that the inner strength you've longed for has always been inside of you. I think that's important~ The line that gets me is "No rain, can't get the rainbow." To me it means 'without hardship, you'll never get the reward at the end." Basically, if you don't experience pain or sadness, you won't know what it means to be happy and will never be happy. That's important.


Wasurenaide (Don't forget) - Tohoshinki
It's kind of a typical "I miss you, we broke up" song, but something about it is extra sad to me. The lyrics kind of suggest that the singer has died...

I’ll become the wind and wrap gently around you
Right now, I want to fly to a world with you in it
Even though I want to see you so much… I miss you so much…
I’m waiting for you, don’t forget me


Keep Tryin' - Hikaru Utada
It's all in the title: keep trying. The lyrics are really humorous but deliver a message that's pure. Utada points out that being money hungry isn't good for you. And if you only dream of being a politician, that's kind of sad. Also, that love should be love, no matter if your hubby is rich or just a plain business man. So no matter your situation, make the best of it and keep tryin'.


Hi no Tori (Phoenix) - Mika Nakashima
I think this was the first ever Japanese song I heard, or at least the first PV I saw... I can't remember. But I was mesmerized but it. Hi no Tori is a soft, mystical song somewhat cryptic in its message, but if you listen, your heart will understand.


To Zanarkand - Nobuo Uematsu / Final Fantasy X
This piano piece grips my heart every time I hear the first note. It's a piece that symbolizes a lost past, broken memories, new relationships, new memories and an unknown future. As unknown as this future may be, keep going, because people need you.

Love,
Ayu
