Why does that kid think so highly of himself?""Kids that think they're so smart.They're everywhere! Destroy is self-esteem!""Yes...I really do think highly of myself.People like me should get a taste of the ups and downs of life! Sorry I'm so envious.I will reflect upon this. Please don't be angry."Ah..um..""There, I said it now. Are you satisfied?" ........"Bye

It's lonely to say goodbye. Very lonely. Please. Cry with me. Maybe there's nothing we can do about this. But at least, for now...cry with me. Like your entire body...is screaming at the sky. Like it's raging against the world. I lost something. And I don't have a single guarantee. The fear of living in this world again after that...I have only a shred of hope to sustain me. So I want you at least...to cry. Cry. Cry with me. Like the day you were first born into this world.

I want to believe that I'm not wrong. I want to believe that life isn't full of darkness. Even if storms come to pass, the sun will shine again. No matter how painful and hard the rain may beat down on me.

If you think of someone's good qualities as the umeboshi in an onigiri it's as if their qualities are stuck to their back! Maybe the reason people get jealous of each other is because they can see so clearly the umeboshi on other people's backs.

I know that happy things and fun things eventually come to an end. But things that are scary and sad come to an end, too. They always do. Even if you can__ always believe that_please don__ give up. Live. I want you to live. Even if you make a mistake. Even if you take the long way. It__ still okay. Just please_please, live. Don__ give up on pushing forward. Please. At least don__ give up on that. Even if I__ not by your side, it__ still okay. It__ okay.

I want to live my life, carrying my memories with me. Even if those memories are painful, even if those memories do nothing but hurt me, even if I wish I could forget those memories_ As long as I keep carrying them with me, and don__ run away from them_ Someday, I believe I will get to the point where I__ not oppressed by those memories. That__ what I want to believe. I__ like to think that there__ not a single memory that I have which would be okay to forget.

That's why I won't give up! I'll continue to move forward because I believe!

I want to believe that memories, even sad and painful ones, should not be forgotten forever.

Just tell me what's so irritating."(katsu)That's none of your damn business!"(kyok)Maybe not. But I'm curious."(
