Etymology・origin

It is from Edo of iroha karuta.

I omit the details.

いろはかるた(iroha karuta) is Japanese card matching game, there are separated Edo,Kyoto and Osaka. also there are written proverbs on the card one by one.

Bee stings puffy your face of after crying.

In my opinion

I had naki ttsurani hachi many times so I don’t know what should I talk lol

But I think lot’s of people have experienced.

Life is mysterious.

Sometimes it’s been better time, sometimes it’s been the toughest time.

If you have been the toughest time, I think you had naki ttsurani hachi ??

Well, today talk about how do I spend hard time.

Actually I’am sensitive so if I got a bad thing, I can’t do anything well and lose my motivation.

Yeah I drink alcohol, eat a lot, complain a lot?? I do!! but after day, still lose my motivation….lol

If I can’t sleep, I don’t sleep, if I can’t do anything, I don’t.

But one thing I do.

Going to the gym.(hobby and habit)

Yeah my motivation is so bad and I don’t wanna workout but I go.

Why? because it makes me keeping myself. I mean I can still go to the gym(working normally) .

If I don’t go to the gym, I think everything is gonna be bad.

Anyways, our personality can’t be changed easily. but we can add into our personality.

If you got a bad thing, you would know the feelings right? you can’t change your personality but you can do something like I know I would cry…..I wouldn’t do anything…so, it would be hard but keep going my hobby or doing something!!

Especially you should do exercise and clean up the room.

There are two words.

・健全な精神は健全な肉体に宿る(kenzenna seishinwa kenzenna nikutaini yadoru)

・部屋の乱れは心の乱れ(heyano midarewa kokorono midare)

I’ll explain about it !!!

Anyways, see you next time!!

Have a good day!
