Emotion

7/17 (Sun), 13:30: I was at Musashino with a friend of my sister waiting for our baguette, when she started flipping the Noritake knife and said, "This just reminded me of a ... whale."

The behavior and remark could have turned out to be nerdy or I'm-trying-hard-to-be-a-cute-woman-ish, but it was so her, natural and artistic, which I thought was undoubtly adorable.

Then, three days later, I found the cutlery is called "emotion."

Aptly-named, I thought, because what she told me the Coward Lion at the end of the lunch was that the most important thing (in relationships), after all, was to be true to myself and never be afraid of expressing my emotion.


素直がいちばん、ね。
