When you think about it, you don't have to force yourself to keep your current relationships in good shape, and there is nothing that you absolutely have to buy, nothing that you have to buy. Everything changes.

No matter how ethically correct an activity may seem, if you feel something is not right, you should cherish that feeling. Because it is not right for you.

Today I visited my mother's grave and visited my father-in-law in the hospital. In the past, I used to think visiting graves was foolish, but lately I'm starting to feel that meaningless things have meaning. On the way home, I went to Takano Fruit Parlor.
