笑顔の神秘と数日間の恋心

最近、ヨーロッパの某国を拠点に活動しているフォトグラファー二人による世界を股に掛けた共同プロジェクト東京偏に携わりました。

きっと数年ぶりにときめきました。

全く外見とかは格好よくなんてないんです。
ぶちゃけ、第一印象は「Mr.ブサイク」です。
オーシャンズシリーズのラスティーとも何の共通点もない様な人です。

屈折している私が、素直に認めて、公言します。
私、彼の笑顔に落ちました。
片目ブラインドのフォトグラファー。
目が合うたびに、子供みたいに本当に笑うんです。
一緒にいたのなんて、2週間くらいだけだったけど、とても切ない気持ちと暖かい気持ちになれました。
見た事もないような屈託のない笑顔、私には眩し過ぎて目が眩みました。
本当の笑顔の力を改めて教えてもらった。

まぁ、恋とは少し違うかも知れないけれど、胸が苦しくて、ビタースイートチョコレートは暫く食べられないかも知れません。

私も写真を撮ってもらったけど、喘息だし、体調悪いし、突然忙しいし、折角の格好いい写真が、私、疲れ果てて一重まぶたの上にボロボロ肌で残念な結果に終わっていました。

甘く切ない恋心?
余りにも切ないのは嫌だけど、こんな気持ちにさせてくれた彼には感謝です。

次はいつこんな想いになれる人と出逢えるんだろう。
早く次がこないと、切なさの暴走が止まらなくなる。
恋せよ、ワタシ!

LIFE is ART!

自分自身も自分の人生も芸術で、自分の身の周りも常に芸術で溢れてる 。
何をどう見るかで人生は鮮やかになる。

折角、今という瞬間があるんだから、ちゃんと生きなきゃ。
人生なんて、短いよ。

I believe that the art could be anything.
It only depends on how you look at it and life itself also can be anything.
I believe that I myself and my life are also art, and I'm surrounded by full of art in this life.

I have got this moment.
Why don't I wanna cherish all these moments I can have and live for now?
Life could be too short! I don't wanna waste my life!

人生も爆発だ?! -Life is an Explosion!-

生まれてきた時の状況なんて覚えていない。
胎児だった頃の記憶もない。
でも私はこの世に産み落とされた時、きっと泣きながら生まれてきたはずだ。
意識的になのか、無意識なのかは分からない。
それでも、ひたすらあるだけの力を駆使して泣きわめいたに違いない。
でもそれは、悲しいからでも、嬉しいからでもなかったはずで、ただ無防備に、生命が無条件に外に向かって噴き出していたに違いない。

そして私は今を生きている。
無条件にこう生きたいと思う人生を想い描きながら生きている。

芸術家の岡本太郎さんは「芸術は爆発だ」と言う言葉を残した。
私は人生も爆発なんだと思った。

3月は私の誕生月で、今日は私の運命共同体が死んだ日だ。
私は子供の頃から人が死ぬのを何度も見て来た。
だけど、彼女は私に死ではなく、生きるということを見せ付けた唯一の存在。
私も生まれて死に損なってきたからには、自分の命も人生も最大限に有意義なものにして生きたい。

命や人生の意味や質について考えることに興味を無くしたら、何もかもが終わる思う。


I don't remember how I was born.
I don't remember the times when when I was in the womb.
But I know I was born with a cry when I was given a birth to this world.
With or without conscious, I must have exerted all my strength and cried.
It's not because I was sad or happy. I must have burst into a cry with no questions or wonders.
I was just exposed.

And I'm living my own life as I want.
It's not easy to get what I want and catch up with my ideals.
But I can only do what I want. I can't do anything that doesn't interest me.
It's all because I'm stupid and clumsy, but not clever.
I wish I were smart enough to deal to compromise though.

An artist whose name is Taro Okamoto said "Art is an explosion".
I think that the life is also an explosion.

March is the month I was born and today is the day when my one and only soulmate has passed away.
I have seen people's deaths since I was a child.
But she; my one and only dearest soul mate was the one and only precious who taught me and showed me what it's like to live, but not to die.
As long as I was born and I failed to die when I was a teenager, I want to make my life meaningful as much as I want and I can.

I know it equals to the death if I lost interests in thinking about and wondering about the meaning and quality of BIRTH and LIFE.

今の望みですか? -My Wishes For Now?-

今の望みですか?
しなやかで凛とした品のある女性になることですね。
そして、精神的にも肉体的にも逞しく、豪快で余裕と独特の魅力的な雰囲気を醸し出す誰かと完全な恋に落ちる事です。

世の中、それ以上に大切なものはありますかね?
自分で自分の人生を彩ったり、最高の芸術に触れる事は同率首位に近いけど。

素敵な男性は罪な音楽に似てます。
私を魅了するミュージシャン達は有罪です。

上記の言葉、もう何年言い続けているのかも分かりません。

よく、恋人がいない理由を聞かれるけど、昔からときめくことがない。凄く冷めています。 その所為か、子供の頃から老けて見られてる (´−д−;`)

理想の男性を聞かれる度に、映画「オーシャンズ」シリーズで、ブラッドピットが演じたラスティーと言い続けている私です /(*/ωΘ*)
えぇ、イタイのは充分承知ですが、もっとイタイことに、そんな男性に出逢う自信も充分にあるんです。゚(゚´Д`゚)゜。
実際、確かに少ないですが、そんな出逢いはありました。

私は聞かれるから、この役を理想像として挙げるのに、殆どの男性が「そんの人、いないよ。」と鼻で笑います。
そういう男性は、その役の素晴らしさを認めていながら、自分がそうなりたいと思う気持ちや、そうなろうという意識もないんだろうと思います。
私はそんな人達に何を言われても微動だにしないし、男性として惹かれることはありません。

自分の今も未来も不安です(´・ω・`) 
なのに成功する気でのほほほほ〜ん ヽ(∂。∂)ノ ☆♪

いい女になろう。
人生こそが芸術だから、私の人生を彩ろう 。


My wishes for now?
It's to become a lithe, elastic, sophisticated and dignified woman.
And to completely fall in love with someone who is strong enough both mentally and physically, who is largehearted and at ease, who has room to breathe and leeway, and who emits some kind of aura and creates an atmosphere that attracts me.

Is there anything more important than this in this life?
To color my own life and to touch the real art is close to the equality though.

My perfect man is like sinful music.
Fascinating musicians are guilty.

I'm often asked why I don't have a love.
But it's just because I don't meet anyone who interests me or fascinates me.
My heart doesn't skip easily since I was a child. I'm very cold actually.
That might be why I'm looked older than I really am since I was a child.

Yet I've been saying that my perfect man is Rusty that Brad Pitt played in the movie series of "Ocean's".
Oh yes, you can call me whatever.
But what hurts more is that I'm still confident about encountering someone I fascinate.
I have met a few men who are like him actually. I think it's like a blue moon though.

Men ask me what kind of man I like and I always tell them "Rusty in Ocean's".
To my surprise (although I won't be surprised anymore), most of them say laughing "It's a movie, there is no such man in reality."
I guess they admit that the man in the movie is cool but these kind of men just don't even think that they wanna be someone like him.
Why do you think I would be attracted to you then?

I'm so insecure about my life and even today.
But I always remain as if I'm unconcerned because I have this stupid groundless confidence in my success in my life.
Oh well, I was just wandering and talking to myself again though.

I need to be strong.
Life itself is art so I want to color my life.....
Life is too short.
