A year has passed since I started my brand.
Debut collection in New York. Video production and exhibitions with fellow musicians. Many unexpected things happen. The reality is that there are fewer happy things reflected on the outside. On the inside, I feel a sense of regret and anxiety that keeps creeping closer and closer.

Is it because of impatience? For the past 365 days, I have become unable to live without spending every second, minute, and hour of the day making clothes.
Even though I told my head that I would not see immediate results, it did not reach my heart.
I feel joy when I'm making clothes in my atelier. When I step on the sewing machine, the clothes I create make me forget about many things.
In the back of my mind, I thought that it was wrong to make clothes that I fell in love with in order to forget something, but I also felt that the dust that was accumulating little by little would eventually turn into a big lump.

So, I decided to go on a journey for a little while. Casting a birthday spell on myself, I packed my backpack and headed to the airport. I wanted to distance myself from my current environment and see what I thought.
After completing my trip, I am writing down the words that are flowing out to me as I am boarding the plane home. It was good to go. That's what I thought from the bottom of my heart. I realized that there were things that I should have known, but at some point I had faded away. I also gathered what I thought.

There are good times and bad times. I want to live a life where I can share joys and sorrows and laugh with my family, friends, and people I meet. I'm sure your life will be rich and prosperous.
Accept both small and big things. It's difficult to accept everything. But I think it's important to try to accept it.
Well, just go with the flow.
This world is full of people. There are as many stories as there are people, and stories where people sometimes meet and overlap. Today, it's sunny in some places and rainy in others. As if expressing the heart.
The sky is beautiful. The food is delicious again today.
Just as the words hello and arigato connect people and teach me kindness and love, I want to be able to give kindness and love to others as well.
While I was thinking about this, I suddenly came across the words "ONE WORLD MANY STORIES" as I was traveling. There was something that touched my heart.
Also, through this trip, I was able to once again feel the emotion that made me love clothes so much.
