10年後の8月だった

ZONEの「secret base 〜君がくれたもの〜」を聴いてふと感傷に浸ったので書く。

先日地元中学校同窓会があった。10年どころか20年ぶりの旧友たちとの再会だった。参加前は正直顔を覚えてるか、名前を覚えてるか、当時のあだ名を覚えてるかなど心配だったが全く杞憂だった。20年ぶりというのに全然久しぶり感もなく、今の仕事や家庭の話、当時のゲームや拾ったエロ漫画の話や録画して観賞会ギルガメッシュないとの話などで大いに盛り上がった。

また帰省したということで連絡をし高校時代元カノに会った。彼女と付き合ったのは1年ほどだったが、別れた後も何だかんだで仲がよく、卒業後も年1くらいは食事に行く関係だった。ただここ数年はタイミングが合わなかったりコロナだったりで会えておらず気づいたら約10年ぶりの再会だった。彼女特に久しぶりという感じもなく、「10年経っても変わらないものだな」とお互い笑い合った。久しぶりに彼女の口癖を聞いて思わず心が微笑んだ。

子どもの頃に「secret base 〜君がくれたもの〜」を聴いた時は歌詞に涙をして、いつか自分にも10年後の8月の再会を祈ることがあるのだろうかと思っていた。しか現実10年後どころか20年後の再会も、まるで1年ぶりの再会と同じようなあっけないものだった。振り返るとむしろ大学1年の年末高校時代の友人たちと1年ぶりに会った時の方が喜びや感動が大きかったように思う。人生のある時期に感じる時間の長さは年齢の逆数に比例する「ジャネーの法則」というのがあるがまさにそれなのかもしれない。一方で母数の大小関係なく、思春期の頃のような多感さは自分の中から失われているのだろうなと改めて気づかされた。高校時代元カノと別れた際、もちろん彼女と別れたこ自体も悲しかったが、それ以上に「彼女に抱いていた好きという感情自分の中から消えていってしまうこと」で泣いたりしていた。そして今ではすっかりその感情は失われてしまった。

10年後の8月が来ても、それを受けとめる感受性がなくなってしまっていて悲しい」というのを書きたかったのだが、いい感じのオチが思い浮かばないので終わり。

ジャップの飯、海外から「マズイ」「味が薄い」という評価を得る

/int/でボロカスに叩かれるジャップ食に涙…

ネトウヨさん曰く「日本食世界で一番人気」だった筈なのに…

ジャップって香りに飢えすぎて松茸ときでんほってる民族から

他のアジア地域香辛料使うの国が多いのにジャップは全くといって良いレベル香辛料を使わない

香辛料が未発達

子供舌なんだよジャップ

あまあまで舌が甘やかされてる馬鹿

臭い肉や臭い魚をなんとかして食おうとした経験がない虚弱



Anonymous 🇭🇰:

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against

the evil Galactic Empire.

「なんか日本食事って味付けがシンプル過ぎて香りとかそういった物が無い、つまり浅いんだよね。あと味が甘過ぎる。」

 

Anonymous 🇷🇺:

>> 214072341(OP) During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.

「確かにそれは思う。日本旅行に行った時に色々と食べて見たけど実際彼らは香辛料をあまり使わない。なんでも甘くするか醤油の味にしてしまう。これじゃ中国食べ物太刀打ち出来ないね。」

 

Anonymous🇺🇸:Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy

「実際、日本人は宇宙一食材への味付けが下手くそ民族だ。アフリカのような発展途上国といい勝負だよ。彼らは日本が何千年前に建国されたと信じているみたいだけど食は全く発達してないね…」

 

Anonymous 🇮🇹:

Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in an attempt to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt.

日本食事は何であんなに甘ったるくて味が薄いんだ?彼らは香辛料存在を知らないのか?昔は外国貿易していなかったのか?」

 

Anonymous 🇻🇳:

Little does Luke know that the GALACTIC EMPIRE has secretly begun construction on a new armored space station even more powerful than the first dreaded Death Star.

アジアの中で香辛料が発達しなかった国は日本韓国だけだ。どうして彼らは香辛料を知らないんだ?中国は何千年も前から香辛料を使っていた。」

 

Anonymous 🇦🇱:

When completed, this ultimate weapon will spell certain doom for the small band of rebels struggling to restore freedom to the galaxy….

「クソ日本人はどうして同じ味付けしか出来ないんだ?彼らの舌は何千年経っても貧乏なようだ」

The Power of Small Steps: How Tiny Changes Can Lead to Massive Growth

In a world that glorifies overnight success and dramatic transformations, it's easy to feel like you’re falling behind if you’re not making big leaps. But what if the secret to real, lasting personal growth wasn’t in doing more, faster—but in doing less, consistently?

Welcome to the power of small steps.

Why Small Steps Matter

Big goals often feel overwhelming. You want to get fit, write a book, start a business, or learn a new skill—but you don’t know where to start. So you procrastinate. Or worse, you dive in too fast, burn out, and give up.

Small steps bypass all of that.

When you break down a huge goal into manageable actions, everything changes. Writing 500 words a day is less intimidating than finishing a whole novel. Ten minutes of walking is more doable than committing to a 5K. And spending 15 minutes a day learning a language adds up to over 90 hours a year.

Consistency beats intensity every time.

The Compound Effect

Imagine improving just 1% every day. That might sound insignificant—but over a year, it compounds into something extraordinary. This idea is the foundation of Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect and James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Both books emphasize that small, smart choices, repeated over time, lead to radical results.

Think of your habits like planting seeds. At first, nothing seems to happen. But give it time, and youll see growth you never thought possible.

Real-Life Example: The 10-Minute Rule

Let’s say you want to start meditating but can’t sit still for 30 minutes. Instead of forcing it, try meditating for just 10 minutes a day. Or even 5. Build the habit before scaling the effort. Once it becomes part of your routine, extending the time feels natural.

This applies to nearly everything:

Want to read more? Read one page a day.

Want to save money? Start with $1 a day.

Want to eat healthier? Swap one snack a day for a better option.

Start tiny. Stay consistent.

How to Start Taking Small Steps

Pick one goal

Don’t try to overhaul your entire life at once. Choose one area to focus on—health, creativity, relationships, mindset, etc.

Break it down

What’s the smallest possible action you could take toward that goal? Make it so easy you can’t say no.

Set a trigger

Link your new habit to an existing one. For example: “After I brush my teeth, I’ll journal for 5 minutes.

Track it

Use a habit tracker, app, or notebook to keep yourself accountable. Seeing your streak grow is highly motivating.

Celebrate small wins

Every time you follow through, give yourself credit. Progress is progress, no matter how small.

Final Thoughts

Don’t wait for motivation. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Just start—with whatever you have, wherever you are, and however small.

Because small steps, taken consistently, turn into big change.

The key isn’t to sprint—it’s to show up every day.

In a world that glorifies overnight success and dramatic transformations, it's easy to feel like you’re falling behind if you’re not making big leaps. But what if the secret to real, lasting personal growth wasn’t in doing more, faster—but in doing less, consistently?

Welcome to the power of small steps.

Why Small Steps Matter

Big goals often feel overwhelming. You want to get fit, write a book, start a business, or learn a new skill—but you don’t know where to start. So you procrastinate. Or worse, you dive in too fast, burn out, and give up.

Small steps bypass all of that.

When you break down a huge goal into manageable actions, everything changes. Writing 500 words a day is less intimidating than finishing a whole novel. Ten minutes of walking is more doable than committing to a 5K. And spending 15 minutes a day learning a language adds up to over 90 hours a year.

Consistency beats intensity every time.

The Compound Effect

Imagine improving just 1% every day. That might sound insignificant—but over a year, it compounds into something extraordinary. This idea is the foundation of Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect and James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Both books emphasize that small, smart choices, repeated over time, lead to radical results.

Think of your habits like planting seeds. At first, nothing seems to happen. But give it time, and youll see growth you never thought possible.

Real-Life Example: The 10-Minute Rule

Let’s say you want to start meditating but can’t sit still for 30 minutes. Instead of forcing it, try meditating for just 10 minutes a day. Or even 5. Build the habit before scaling the effort. Once it becomes part of your routine, extending the time feels natural.

This applies to nearly everything:

Want to read more? Read one page a day.

Want to save money? Start with $1 a day.

Want to eat healthier? Swap one snack a day for a better option.

Start tiny. Stay consistent.

How to Start Taking Small Steps

Pick one goal

Don’t try to overhaul your entire life at once. Choose one area to focus on—health, creativity, relationships, mindset, etc.

Break it down

What’s the smallest possible action you could take toward that goal? Make it so easy you can’t say no.

Set a trigger

Link your new habit to an existing one. For example: “After I brush my teeth, I’ll journal for 5 minutes.

Track it

Use a habit tracker, app, or notebook to keep yourself accountable. Seeing your streak grow is highly motivating.

Celebrate small wins

Every time you follow through, give yourself credit. Progress is progress, no matter how small.

Final Thoughts

Don’t wait for motivation. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Just start—with whatever you have, wherever you are, and however small.

Because small steps, taken consistently, turn into big change.

The key isn’t to sprint—it’s to show up every day.

Want to read more? Read one page a day.

Want to save money? Start with $1 a day.

Want to eat healthier? Swap one snack a day for a better option.

Start tiny. Stay consistent.

How to Start Taking Small Steps

Pick one goal

Don’t try to overhaul your entire life at once. Choose one area to focus on—health, creativity, relationships, mindset, etc.

Break it down

What’s the smallest possible action you could take toward that goal? Make it so easy you can’t say no.

Set a trigger

Link your new habit to an existing one. For example: “After I brush my teeth, I’ll journal for 5 minutes.

Track it

Use a habit tracker, app, or notebook to keep yourself accountable. Seeing your streak grow is highly motivating.

Celebrate small wins

Every time you follow through, give yourself credit. Progress is progress, no matter how small.

Final Thoughts

Don’t wait for motivation. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Just start—with whatever you have, wherever you are, and however small.

Because small steps, taken consistently, turn into big change.

The key isn’t to sprint—it’s to show up every day.

The Power of Small Steps: How Tiny Changes Can Lead to Massive Growth

In a world that glorifies overnight success and dramatic transformations, it's easy to feel like you’re falling behind if you’re not making big leaps. But what if the secret to real, lasting personal growth wasn’t in doing more, faster—but in doing less, consistently?

Welcome to the power of small steps.

Why Small Steps Matter

Big goals often feel overwhelming. You want to get fit, write a book, start a business, or learn a new skill—but you don’t know where to start. So you procrastinate. Or worse, you dive in too fast, burn out, and give up.

Small steps bypass all of that.

When you break down a huge goal into manageable actions, everything changes. Writing 500 words a day is less intimidating than finishing a whole novel. Ten minutes of walking is more doable than committing to a 5K. And spending 15 minutes a day learning a language adds up to over 90 hours a year.

Consistency beats intensity every time.

The Compound Effect

Imagine improving just 1% every day. That might sound insignificant—but over a year, it compounds into something extraordinary. This idea is the foundation of Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect and James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Both books emphasize that small, smart choices, repeated over time, lead to radical results.

Think of your habits like planting seeds. At first, nothing seems to happen. But give it time, and youll see growth you never thought possible.

Real-Life Example: The 10-Minute Rule

Let’s say you want to start meditating but can’t sit still for 30 minutes. Instead of forcing it, try meditating for just 10 minutes a day. Or even 5. Build the habit before scaling the effort. Once it becomes part of your routine, extending the time feels natural.
