I’ve been away from the blog for a while.
Thankfully, life has been a whirlwind, and I’ve truly been immersed in work every single day. This might be the busiest I’ve ever been in my entire life.

Whether that’s a good thing or not, I still haven’t figured it out myself.
The one thing I do know is that “now is the time to give it my all.”

I made up my mind about my work around the time I ordered my Carrera T.

I’m currently 43 years old. I feel that until I turn 50, this will be a period where work takes center stage. I have this instinct that unless I can proudly say I gave it my all during this phase, I won’t be able to move on.

Switching to Work Mode After Buying the Carrera T

Lately, I’ve been realizing more and more that people’s values can change dramatically.

Originally, I was someone who was completely focused on work.
Even after my child was born, I kept working relentlessly.
But things didn’t always go as planned, the company struggled, and I chose to become a full-time housewife.

That’s when I started this blog.

The people I met through the blog were unlike anyone I had encountered in my life before.
They valued enjoying their private lives, balancing hard work with a rich personal life.
Their attitude made a huge impact on me.

Honestly, I thought, “Why have I been working so relentlessly all this time?” and also, “I don’t think I’ll ever work that hard again in my life.” While writing the blog, I wanted to live more gently and cherish time with my family going forward.

Of course, the goal of “one day buying a Porsche with my own money” was always there.
But I thought it was something I could achieve over a long period, maybe 10 years down the road.

…But life always moves in unexpected ways.

I started my company about four years ago.
I was encouraged to use my writing skills professionally, received investment, and launched a story branding company. At that time, my eldest son was still a baby. It was a start with no clue which way was up.

At first, things didn’t go as planned, and I struggled to balance work and family life.
The desire to “work gently” and “cherish family time” conflicted inside me, causing me to lose my way, and as a result, nothing went smoothly.

The turning point came two years ago.
Around the time I ordered the Carrera T.

I made up my mind: “If I don’t get serious now, I can’t keep running away.”

From then on, every day has been full throttle. Truly, full throttle. I’ve thrown myself into everything—housework, childcare, work, even PTA activities. Sometimes I’d wake up in the middle of the night with my mind flooded with work (though thankfully that has settled now), and even in a life that felt like it relied solely on my physical strength, I kept moving forward.

Grateful for an Environment Where I Can Run Full Speed

Looking around, many people choose a more relaxed way of working.
Especially while raising children, that’s completely natural.
In fact, my husband supports me solidly, so maybe I don’t have to push myself this hard.

…No, I don’t (definitely not, lol).

Still, the reason I keep working so hard is because…

I have a healthy body that moves freely, a family and friends who support me, children growing up healthy, my parents still around, and people cheering me on.
Having such a blessed environment, I started feeling it would be such a waste not to take on challenges.

I think I was probably born under a star that drives me to run recklessly.
And that suits me. Even if I tried to run away from this life, I feel like I’d always be chased by opportunities that force me to give it my all (laughs).

So I decided to make up my mind and run it out now.

At the same time, I have a small goal for my car life.
Owning two cars: a Taycan and the Carrera T (manual Crayon) I used to drive.
If my old Carrera T is still unsold (it’s been listed on Car Sensor for a long time), I’d love to buy it back someday.

When child-rearing settles down, and I meet the version of myself that thinks, “I want to enjoy cars again,” I want to be able to achieve that goal by building up the present.

The Blog Enters Its “Second Chapter”

Currently, I’m posting weekly on YouTube (lately showing my face), but I haven’t had much time or mental space to focus on the blog.
Still, writing again after a long break has reminded me of the power of putting things into words, and from now on, I want to share my true self more naturally.

This blog and my life have entered their “second chapter.”
Hopefully, I can continue on to a third and fourth chapter—
I’d be grateful if you continue to watch over me.
