Dream at age 20
Noserumi
When I woke up this morning, for some reason, a dream map I had drawn when I was in my 20s popped into my head.
I wasn't dreaming, but I was sleeping today thinking about the contents of the blog I was in charge of,
Maybe someone couldn't bear to see me like that and pulled me out of their head...
On that dream map, one of the goals for five or ten years from now was, "I want everything I surround myself with, wear, and eat to belong to someone I can see."
I suppose most people have bigger dreams, but mine are so small, and the way to get there is so overwhelming that I can't even imagine it.
I remember having trouble writing it at the time.
And now, I'm surprised to realize that, although I'm not there yet, I'm pretty close to achieving that dream.
I wondered to myself, "Yes, this is what I had hoped for."
Why did you think, "I want everything around me to belong to the visible people"?
I felt a sense of discomfort with the existing distribution system and capital, in which things that should reach the right people don't get to them, and I also wanted to vote for people I could see.
Of course, everything is perfect every day! I can't bind myself in a way that would make me unhappy, but the vegetables and fish I eat, the clothes I wear, the dishes and cups I use every day, most of the things...
I think most things belong to people who can see.
There are different types of "visible". Some people are close enough to receive it directly, while others receive it through someone else or a store.
If we limit our discussion to purchasing, I think the important thing is whether you are able to spend money because you feel like you want to support that person.
I just wish I could spend my money on things like that.
Nowadays, the world is full of trends like "connecting producers and consumers" and "telling stories and backgrounds."
Perhaps there is something pure and something impure in it.
However, there is no way to prove or prove the truth of whether something is pure or impure; I think it all depends on the perception of the person using it.
Even if it seems like an endlessly long road, if we wish, the future will naturally connect in that way.
That's why I think it's important to see with your own eyes, listen to what people say, and make sure there are no strange symptoms.
It may seem unpleasant to write this from the perspective of a staff member, but looking back at my time as a customer,
I think the store Utsushiki was one of the few "intermediaries that I felt were pure" for me.
And I'm happy that this feeling has not yet been betrayed, but has instead turned into an even stronger conviction.
