after today’s that quake, i took a nap.
because of the fatigue coming from the incident.
while i was asleep, a weird dream came to my mind…
he said,
“babe, by that quake, the world has been rewind.”
rewind? what does it mean?
“oh you idiot, why don’t you see your calender.”
i saw my calender, and it indicated;
“MARCH 11, 2011″
…a morning sunshine was coming into the window.
“the world is going to change, from today.
that means, you MUST pile up again all you have done ’til the end of 2011.”
wait! why the world has rewind?
what is happened??
and are all i had done lost?
“a stupid question. think what you have NOW.”
NOW? today is the beginning of the year of the drago…
“NO. now you’re back to the ’311′. i said twice, what a pity, foolish woman. bye.”
after he had gone, i sobbed thinking all i had done from the day,
all friends and acquaintances i know after last March,
all efforts i had made to acquire the job,
all knowledge i acquired regarding the patent attorney exam,
and, all memories i shared with my friends and family from that day.
i realized they all were my illusion. i felt i lost all of my treasure.
now, it’s March 11, 2011. i have nothing. no job, no friends, no relationship, no happiness…
and the quake came…
i jumped up from the bed. and checked my PC.
it indicates January 1, 2012, the beginning day of the year of the dragon.
i checked the date again and again, then, i sobbed in my bed killing my scream.
i shook my head and crush against the wall.
ouch!
it was a dream. i realize. it was a bad dream!!
but…
i am not sure if i was still dreaming now.
that is, all of my feeling, knowledge, memories and so, are my dreams and not real.
to say, i doubt it’s my “Kocho-no-Yume”. (i do not know proper English expression)
after the quake, i said in this blog before, my raison d’etre was completely changed.
before that day, i thought all i can do for me is to earn a little money to enjoy my life.
no friend was needed. partner was as well.
i would live alone through my life and never commit to the world i live in.
but by the quake, i began to hope to strengthen myself.
i wanna live as “akiko kato”, not anybody else.
and i strongly thought i should change myself completely.
i have to make a trace in the world that prove my existence, i realized.
from the day, i am no longer a passive person.
…so, i don’t wanna lose everything, every memory, every relation, from my mind.
i NEVER wanna be back to the 311!!!
someday, i die.
someday, you die.
so i wanna make good memories with you all and bring them to the heaven on the day.
(but i don’t wanna die!!!)
this world is wonderful.
there are many present boxes with red ribbons.
i wanna open all of them, but, as you know, it is impossible, ’cause life is too short.
so i am seeking someone helping to open the box with me. but i can’t find the one so far.
so i sometimes feel lonely. i feel envy who find the one.
i am wondering why i am writing such a sensitive article.
though it is sure today’s quake made me so…
anyway, i hope i never have such a dreadful dream.
i hope i have a dream of an eggplant, a hawk and Fujisan today!!
and also hope you have a nice Hatsu-yume!!
