The opening sentence: I am happy to write about myself. I was born and grew up in a traditional Japanese family…
The book title: My Life as a Daughter, Wife, and Mother
Well, this title is already taken. I am blogging. And I often write about myself.
A long time ago, I introduced a Japanese book, だから、あなたも生きぬいて (So Can You).
The author is a lawyer and mother. She was bullied in middle school and became a yakuza (mafia) wife at 16. After divorcing, she worked as a hostess at a nightclub. To change her life, she started studying again.
I read her autobiography when I was a high school student. Everyone has a story. When I write my autobiography, I will share a true story.
Last, I want to share her message.
“No matter the situation, if you think positively, you will lead to positive outcomes.”
