there are only so many ways you can say something is inside in english.

translating this song made me so emotional like i get u so bad girl omg
im very lucky to have parents who are supportive of my creative work (hi dad!) but even so, the feelings of inadequacy compared to my peers is hard to get over. i still feel it intensely, every time i post here. i wonder sometimes if the effort i put into these is worth it. there have been many times where i didnt sleep or eat just to make these silly videos. i get disappointed when things dont do as well as i want them to. even so, i want to keep drawing. i want to sing. i want to create. even if it hurts sometimes.

shinonome ena u will always be famous i love u so so so dearly

✤lyrics✤ (feel free to use with credit)
Inside this body that couldn’t be of any note,
Take a breath within this borrowed life I’m leading day by day
But if I dive inside the deepest depths within my heart,
Even now, the me from all the way back then is still smiling.

Thinking about it now, I would guess it’s probably true.
That there’s bits of dreams I held back then still here in me today.
Beneath the shadows of my ideals, they were stamped away,
And before I even knew it, it had changed to something just like “hate”.

I guess it can’t be helped even if I try to cling to the past.

Just like a tiny light, so gently shining down,
The dreams that I believed in are still just out of my reach, but even so,
Within that blinding white, blank space in front of me, I crave to take these hands of mine
And on and on, keep drawing more in the place before my eyes.

If just a little still, I had wanted all the same,
For someone to take a notice of the dreams I couldn’t leave
Although I chased them all, they were all so far away
And before I even knew it, it had changed to something like “astray”.

And although all the tears I shed won’t return, I still have belief

That if I were to throw all I have now away,
The place that I am aiming for will still be out of reach. But even so,
These feelings in my heart, I’ll let them ring aloud, and as they’re breaking at the seams,
I won’t give in, even though it all will hurt me deep inside.

Even if reality’s not chalked up to be
All of the things we wanted, I still believe,
That there is no one answer to it all,
We can surely, even so, paint it over and over.

Just like a tiny light, so gently shining down,
The dreams that I believed in are still just out of my reach, but even so,
Within that blinding white, blank space in front of me, I crave to take these hands of mine
And wanna try to draw the future that lies before my eyes.

Even if it’s not pretty in the end,
It’s something of my own
And all I could ask for is
To draw this WORLD that’s reflected in my eyes.
