23rd Day in Byron Bay 〜Already????〜

気づけば３週間経ちました。

It has been already 3 weeks!!

もう３週間？？まだ３週間？？

or just only 3 weeks??

あっという間のような、

It seemed very quick

もう１ヶ月以上こっちにいるような。

But also I have a feeling as if I had been here already more than 1 month

ちょっとずつ英語の勘を取り戻しているような

I have a feeling that I've got back my English sense little by liettle

もともとの英会話レベルがそんなでもなかったような。

Or did I ever have such an English sense?

でもやっぱり英語が話せると便利だなぁと

Anyway, English is very useful

もっと上手にしゃべりたいなぁと日々感じております。

The longer I stay here, the stronger my desire of “speaking good English” becomes

まったく違う環境に身をおくというはすごく大事で

it is very important to find yourself in a totally different environment

少なからず誰しもが

Not only few people

周りの人たちの作る自分像と共に暮らしているわけで

are living with the imaginary themselves which is made by other people around you

自分はこうあるべきだとか

“You should be like this”

これをすべきでないとか

“You shouldn't do this”

もちろんそれは社会で生きていくうえで

Of course, that is a very important sense

とても大事なことなのだけど

to live in social life in these days, but...

新しい自分を見つけるとかそんな安い言葉では片付けられなくて

It's not such a cheep word like “finding yourself that you haven't see”

そもそもその自分ってなんなん？

Well, what is that “YOU”?
