POTATO 2010.09 - NEWS & WORRIES

"When you're seriously suffering you can't do anything but wait"
Isn't embarrassing to talk about worries? That's why I never search consultation. When you do you are complaining. Thought I do that too sometimes (lol). I think that when you feel lost you should find the strenght to take a decision inside yourself. When you're unsure if do something or not you should choose one.
But when you're unsure to buy something or not maybe it's better to not doing it. Even if the clerk is saying that I look great in it, I don't want to be taken by his sweet talk (lol).
If I try to think how I solve my problems when I'm worried I realize that maybe I didn't find answers to them. Probably I'm just escaping from my problems. I think that even if I talk about them with somebody it can't be helped, I just try to not think to them as possible. Sometimes when I'm worried and I meet somebody who gently listen to my complaints I feel relieved. I think that when you can talk to somebody you turn calmer and maybe the answers will arrive. Since the beginning, you're worried and lost because you don't have answers. For example, when you don't know if go somewhere or no there's nothing to do but decide one place. If you're so worried because the answer just doesn't come, you have nothing to do but wait more time. When you're seriously suffering there's nothing you can do. When I feel like that I try to not stay alone; maybe it's also good to keep your body in movement, like running. You can tire yourself and stop thinking to your problems.
I think that it's also imporant to look to the problems from above. For example, if you fall in love with a friend's girlfriend. You can take a step behind to realize that the girl is taken and that you have to forget your feelings, that's how you can come to a right and moral solution. Then meeting people, watching movies, keeping yourself distracted, you only have to wait the natural time to forget.

"I think that talk with others about problems is a wonder drug"
I always like to solve my problems by myself but when I think "I don't want to spend tomorrow too worrying like this" I search for advices. I think that always save up isn't good, talking with people is the best way to feel better. To me, being listened when I talk about my problems is like a remedy. When this medicine is really necessary I ask for consulting but I also try to ... my problems by myself. Because the most of the times there is nobody but you that can solve the issues. Sometimes speaking out the problems helps to take them out too. You feel relieved after. According to the problem, inside yourself there are many toxin gathered so worried people should take them out for once, you can't take them all inside forever.
Talking about worries, sometimes I'm really worried about what kind of adult I will become. When I turned 25 I asked myself who could be the ideal adult for me. When I realized that in just 5 years I'll be 30 yrs old I was really scared. That was my biggest worry until now. I thought that maybe it's something that only people of my age have experienced so I asked advice to older people many times. Between the many stories I heard a man told me: "Results are not something that can be immediately asked. It's important to gather and pile up more things as possible, there's always somebody looking over you while you're doing your best". When I heard this I felt like I've been given a great lesson and I thought "I have to work harder!". After this experience I ask for consulting to older people a lot. I want to become an adult like this, somebody who can help the others to see clearer in their own problems.

"I love summer but it takes so many worries"
Basically I want to solve my problems by myself. But still I don't really have problems. When I go to sleep I completely plan my next day. I don't have intention to talk with others about my worries but maybe the reality is that talking naturally about them with others makes you feel better. It's not something serious like "I can talk about it only to this person" but something more normal, you can put it in general speaking "That thing happened and..." and talk about it in a very common way. Maybe like this you won't accumulate too many worries.
If we're talking about little worries I have a lot. A problem recently is the humidity. When I go back home, I really don't want to feel all sticky. You feel like tossing up also the clothes, right? Summer's dehumidifier is important. Then in summer I'm always worried because I don't want to be stung by mosquitos (lol). To me the bugs' existence is a big worry. So much that I'd like to completely part my world from theirs. For example, if right now a bugs enter the studio where we're shooting I'd segregate it (lol). Bugs should stay in places full of trees like forests. I'd really love to part our worlds!
My rule for when I feel lost? When I don't know if buying clothes or not I choose to not buy them. When reading a magazine I think "Kawaii! I want it!" I try to keep that feeling and I'm usually right. But if I'm: "I wonder how is it..." it's better to give up. Then I feel lost when I go out to eat and I have to order food. Expecially when I'm asked if I want Yakitori or Sushi (lol). I love and want them both so it's a big worry. It's a very heavy decision to take (lol).

"The best friend of worries is time"
Even if I'm worried I don't talk to people, I think by myself, I'm the type who report things after their conclusion. I use to immediately answer "No" if people ask me if I'm worried. I don't like people who say "Right now I'm kinda worried..." (lol). But stiff neck or bowel motion, if I've got worries like those, I think it's not bad to ask for help so that I can solve them quickly. One of my worries is about having a good meal balance and a healthy life style. But I don't have serious worries!
I have many doubts. But I immediately search on the web and I solve them. Worries and doubts are different, right? Worries are something that you can't really talk about with people, right? If you can it's because they aren't real worries. Thinking about that, when I was 15 I was very worried about my height because I was so short. I hated to always been called "Kawaii" but I didn't grow up at all...Now it's not a worry anymore but I wish I was taller.
When I'm lost with a decision and I have many alternatives, I try to choose following my sixth sense. For example I usually worry when I have to buy something expensive. In this case my mom taught me: "Think 3 times, if you still want it buy it". If you have your own priotities you'll come to a solution the most of times, right?
I think that it's very difficult to find a solution when the issue involves other people. In those cases I leave the others alone. Like this, 90% of the problems will be solved by time. There are many people who is worried about personal relationships but I think that time is the best friend here.

"I solved my problems thanks to fans' voice"
When I've got problems I talk with friends, I also complain. I want to be listened and spit all out. I talk also about work issues but when it's about personal relationship I'm very approximate. I never think to talk about playing, singing or dancing instead because those are problems that can be solved only with my own efforts, I can't do anything but training.
My biggest worry until now was during the first 2 years of NEWS formation. The other members were all Jr. and the time was so long, even if we came out to the media at that time I lived only for soccer. Thought I was really lucky to become a NEWS (lol). I used to go to karaoke so I could sing at some extend. But of course in life I never had opportunities to dance so at first I wasn't interested in it at all. I was surrounded by dance, I've always been a regular in the soccer team so I was really frustrated to be inferior inside NEWS. I was the captain in my soccer team and a rapresentant in my class at school so being the last one in NEWS was so unconfortable. At that time Massu was the one to whom I confided to. We knew eachother from Jr. time and he was the first one with whom I sang. But in the end then too, the only thing I could do to improve my dance skill was training.
Another thing that helped me to solve my problems is fans' voice. Little praisings like "The concerts go better from time to time!" made me happy. They made me wanna do it more and more.

"When I'm lost I think and think but in the end I trust my sixth sense"
Even if I'm worried I quite never ask for help to other people. There are people who feel lighter talking to others but I'm fine the same. When I'm lost I think and think but in the end I choose according to my sixth sense. Of course there are times when if you don't talk to anybody you can't do anything about your worries. For example when it's your worry but other people are deeply involved with it. When I have those kind of problems that never ends I search advices.
A recent worry? It's a little different but I wonder what can I do in the future. Of course work comes at first place for me. Right now I want to do concerts. I think I will be able to act even when I'll be older but concerts are different. One day I won't have all the strenght I have now anymore, right? This is why right now I want to work with music.
I think that worries are basically things that comes after negative thoughts. There are times in which you can't really avoid it. When I was a student I had to do work and study together and it was hard but study was important and I had to endure. I thought about quitting university but after I decided to go on I stopped worrying. Even if it was heavy I went on. There aren't real rules to take a decision. Firstly find the biggest issue and then decide by yourself. If you're bullied at school and you are lost if going again or not I don't think that quitting is escaping. There are many different way to study for your future in other conditions. If it's so hard that you can't stand it anymore there is also this choice.
