月の裏側の考察

Nice to meet you. This is DokoKa.

Somewhere in Japanese.

Right now, I'm in my third year of high school, deep in the middle of exam season.

But it's precisely because of this intense time that I want to record my thoughts, worries, and discoveries, things I can only feel “right now”.

So, even though I'm a total beginner, I've decided to start this voice diary.

For today's first entry, I want to talk about something that's been on my mind.

We only ever see one part of other people.

I actually wrote about this a little while ago in my written diary, but I wanted to revisit it here.

One of the things I think I'm good at is noticing the good in others. I can find a lot of great things about people.

But recently, I've been thinking that maybe that also leads me to decide too quickly what kind of person someone is.

Like, oh, this person is so skilled at navigating the world. They're such a strong communicator. They're nothing like me.

But then, something happened that made me question that.

高校生のリーダーシップの課題

Someone I always thought was super socially skilled and great at handling things, especially in their role as a club president,

actually opened up to me and vented about the pressure and struggles they were facing with their team and relationship.

At that time, I was also struggling in my own role as a leader of a group,

feeling like I couldn't manage things well.

So hearing them talk honestly made me realize for the first time, oh, they're dealing with the same kind of problems I am.

Since then, when I see someone make a mistake, I've started thinking, well, they're human too. It happens.

And I've become a lot more careful about jumping to conclusions based on just one thing someone says or does.

I'm not sure if that counts as a personal growth, but I do feel like my perspective has broadened a lot.

I think I'll title this entry, The Other Side of the Moon, as a way of saying that everyone has a hidden side that isn't easily visible to others.

I don't know when I'll be able to record the next one, but that's it for today.

If you listened all the way through. Thank you so much.
