*sweep sweep*

I'm looking at my draft posts and *sigh*... there are five of them. One of them will remain as draft because it's a masterlist post... which reminds me, I haven't made much progress on my archiving thingy. Oh well. Let's get rid of the other four first.

2013 draft - "??# New Things I did in 2012". Deleting this one. The stuff mentioned there is outdated. No point in posting them now.

2019 draft - Two posts. One is about "13 Things I Still Collect and Keep in My Room".. it's supposed to be posted as part of the Thursday 13 blog meme but I never got around to it. The list isn't complete. The other one was about my experience with watching youtubers...? I guess it's supposed to be a follow-up post to this. Yeah... ermm... I don't remember what I want to talk about anymore so.. both these posts are going into the bin.

2020 draft - A post I meant to publish in September... Ah, I'll include this one today:

Draft from Sept 30th, 2020
Stumbled upon this tweet yesterday. Liked & retweeted. Also felt like blogging about it.

一生懸命じゃなくていい
一笑懸命でいいから

強くなくていい
弱くていいから

今を生きよう

テキトーに

大丈夫。

— 香取 慎吾 (@ktrsngofficial) September 28, 2020
My loose translation:
===============
It's fine if you're not giving your best for dear life, 
Doing your best to smile is enough.

It's fine if you're not strong,
Being weak is alright too.

Live on, now.

Live the way you want to.

It will be okay.
===============

I'm sure there are other ways to interpret the tweet better but this is how I saw it for the first time. The tekitou part was a bit hard though. It's not really like "live freely" IMO... In local slang, it's probably close to cincai... but I want to see it in a positive way. 

Well, it's really nothing big.. but what he said sounded like something I posted in the past. 

-End of draft

Tweeted by Katori Shingo (who used to be in SMAP). Well.. it's not like I think it was a life-changing tweet or anything. It piqued my interest at that time so I'll just throw this part in this blog just for the sake of it.
