Some people say, "You planned an abstract of your new life on this planet before you are born." When I think of myself I may have planned changing the place where I live.
For example, 5 places in Osaka, 2 places in Tokyo, 4 places in Scotland, 3 places inYokohama.I had a reasons why move to a new place. I was not going to move, if nothing happened.
I hoped to work related fashion since I was a little kid. Moving to Kobe city was my ideal in those days. But suddenly, I met a trustable woman and I gained a job in Osaka as a patten cutter it was really sudden I was not expected. One year later, a big earthquake happened in Kobe when I was living in the west area of Osaka. I evacuated to my friend's home or my cousin's flat. If I got a job in Kobe I may died.
Living in Tokyo was costly and crowded, but it was a precious time. Why did I move to Tokyo? My former boss pushed me to go. Because fashion companies as the business were getting hard and hard in Kansai area in those days. My boss was courageous and supportive to me. I could believe him because he used to be a famous person in a very big fashion brand in Tokyo. So, somewhat confidently applied a job interview and immediately got a position as a pattern cutter in Daikanyama, Tokyo. That was magical when I look back.
Why I made a decision to go to Scotland was that suddenly I got the sense that English language is needed for my life. One day, I was walking in Shibuya and entered British council that held 'The UK university festa' and then, I met at the first time with the woman who I still have been in a good friendship with. I burned out my energy at the end of study. I did everything I could do. I got empty, if I describe it. Although I had a dream to work in a high end brand in London, I failed anyway.
So, I live in Yokohama currently, and it is coming 13 years' anniversary in October this year. I wonder that did I make plan before my birth for the next move? I may again perhaps meet a new trustable person who encourage me eventually.
The life is going to never be flat. Everybody has an unforgettable drama at least. Somebody who you can trust suddenly emerges and who may give you a great chance. It could be a plan you made by yourself before you born. Getting know a trustable person maybe a key of happiness. Have a wonderful life!
Thank you for coming tonight too. Good night, x
