いつもがんばります！
I've now heard the same advice from three different friends, none of whom know each other. I guess I should trust them, yeah? Anyways, the advice is:
"Give your best."
From Elie, Gie, and Janjan.
Elie is one of my best friends in the fandom, and she told me to give it my best and if it's meant to be, it will be mine. Gie is one of my best buddies from uni, and she told me to give my best in anything I want to try out, and if it doesn't turn out right, well I'm still young and I have a lot of options still. And Janjan, who has been my friend since highschool and is now pretty much family to me, also told me that I should always give my best in whatever I do, because life's like that --- it's as simple as that.
I guess if there's anyone who knows me well, it's the three of them. And hearing that from them, I guess I do need to give my best. I'm not someone who does that --- I'm such a chill type of person --- that now I think I've developed a fear of trying and failing. Well, no matter the outcome, my friends are telling me to give my best. I owe my sanity to these people, so I should feel safe to trust their advice, too.
I'm ready to give my best now. In the unfortunate event that I don't pass, though, I shall have no regrets. Because I gave my best! :D
Alright. Now where to find reviewers for that entrance test... ファイト！
Wow I actually cried while typing this out. Recalling my conversation with these three made me a bit emotional. My friends are awesome. Period.
