🇺🇸Yuka enters her 20th spring. ...Her first big moment, turning kindness into work.
There are still many boundaries in the world. Today, I walked across yet another boundary.Front-row tickets sold out two years ago.

A Gentle Season Named Yuka
This spring, Yuka began a new path.
A vocational school for animal nursing. And the path to becoming a groomer and veterinary nurse.
Ninety minutes each way.
Every day, it's a three-hour round trip.
It's not short at all. Rather, it's quite long.
Even so, what she truly wants to do awaits her at the end of that journey.
A job involving animals. A job that involves caring for life.
That choice may not be flashy.
But it's very warm.
Because it's a path where kindness is transformed into skill.
She has two little teachers at home.
Shiroi manchikan no, shiro tchi. Soshite, bengarumikkusu no, chai. Karera wa, kotoba o hanasanai. Demo, takusan no koto o oshietekureru. Yorisou koto. Matsu koto. Kimochi o sassuru koto. Yuka ga eranda michi wa, kitto, karera to no hibi no enchōsen-jō ni aru. Suki to iu kimochi wa,-ji ni, jinsei no shinro ni naru. Sore wa, totemo shiawasena kotoda.

Mirai no jibun e no, shizukana jōtaijōna no kamo shirenai.
