I have a boy friend
.
It's been almost 12 years since we first met.
He makes me laugh, stands by me, and supports me no matter what.
私には彼氏がいます。
出会って12年。
笑わせてくれて、支えてくれて、何があっても味方でいてくれて。
But I saw a news that less and less Japanese people have stable relashionship,
such as between 20 to 40 years old, 75% of single male, 65% of single female, currently don't have signinifcant other. And main reason for that is because it's "Mendou kusai" (Troublesome, too much work, don't want to bother)
でも最近ニュースで、日本人があまり恋をしていないって聞きました。
20歳〜40歳の独身の男性の75%、女性の65%が付き合っていないそうです。
理由は、「めんどくさい」が一番みたいです。
It's sad, eh?
悲しいですね。
But I get it though. It's troublesome. And don't want to bother.
Being in a relationship costs money and time.
分かります。めんどくさいですよね。
お金はかかるし、時間は取られるし。
1人の方が楽やん。
分かります。
Being alone is a lot easier. I get it. Trust me. I do.
I've done tons of traveling(by myself), lived overseas(by myself), left my boyfriend and went everywhere, and I always thought being alone was a lot easier.
But lately, something changed within me.
私も今まで1人で世界中を旅してきて、海外にも1人で住んでたりして、1人は気楽で、楽しくて、ええやん
って思ってました。
でも、なんか違うって最近思い始めました。
It's a lot harder to love 1 person than making hundreds of friends.
But I found that it grows us as human being more than anything.
何十人も友達を作るより、1人の人を愛するのは、本当に難しい。
でも、人として、どんな経験よりも大きくなれるんやなーと思いました。
1人より2人、誰かと生きていくのも悪くない。(めんどくさいけど)
1日1日の積み重ねで、一緒に歴史を作っていくのは、本当はとってもすごいこと。(めんどくさいけど)
It's not so bad to spend life with someone else. (Although it's a lot of work)
Spending every single day together and making history, is actually so meaningful. (Although it's bothering sometimes)
Last night, my man was drunk and kept calling me. He does that when he is drunk.
But I couldn't pick up because I was at work already. It was annoying, but at the same time, it made me want to see him like crazy, and now I'm writing stuff like this.
昨日酔っ払って、たくさん電話がかかってきてました。酔っぱらうといつもです。
仕事だったので取れなくて、でもそこから私も会いたい気持ちが止まらんくなってしまって、
今日こんなこと書いてしまってます。
まず出会うのは大変だし、てか出会いの場に行くのすらめんどくさいし、
付き合うまでが大変だし(楽しいけど)辛いし(きゅんきゅんするけど)
合わせなあかんの嫌やし、
ほっんまにイライラするけども、
It's hard to find "the one", or go to those places to find someone is already annoying,
Being relashionship is hard (although it's fun), and my bf frustrates me like crazy,
それでも私は声を大にして言いたい。
But I still want to say this loudly,
恋セヨ、ジャパニーーーズ！！！
恋セヨ、ジャパニーズ！！！
Find your love, Japanese people!!!
All you need is Love, right?
