Your life is a reflection of the choices you’ve made. If you’re not happy, it’s time for you to make different choices. Your happiness is in YOUR hands.
Take a moment to be grateful for all the little things. They’re usually the things that matter most.

And oftentimes when you hear Japanese women, you think, ‘Oh, they’re obedient, they’re sexy or they can do just action somehow.’ And that’s not who we are – we’re so much more complex. And even if we appear obedient, it’s because society has made us that way and there’s so much that’s bottled inside.
