僕が旅しながら読んだnote寄せ集め×30くらいの気に入った部分の抜粋と感想
今はアムステルダムにいる。旅しているとはいえ、ここで働いている友達のおかげで、非常に心穏やかに過ごせている。とてもありがたい。最近、街を冒険する度に情報量がすごく多くて、ゆっくり何かを読みながら、文章を書くような時間を欲していた。そんなわけで、noteをゆっくり読んで、「日本でのいつも通り」みたいな時間も贅沢に取っている。
朝起きてからふとnoteが書きたいと思って、90分くらい作業していた(途中でシャワーも浴びた笑)。今回は引用というか抜粋がメインで、僕の感想がちと添えられている、そんなスタイルだ。前も自分が読んだnoteをまとめたような記事を出した。それを読んでくれた方は、大体似たものだと思っていただきたい!
細かいトピックにわけて(独断と偏見でタイトルを設定)いる。グレーになっている部分が引用で、それ以外は基本的には康弘の文章だ。面白そうだと思った部分だけでも是非読んで頂きたい!では、早速内容に。

ノルウェーから
感想
自分はボイスメッセージをノルウェーから送った側だったけど、日本にいるツジちゃん目線だとこうなるんだ…!という描写に対しての感動。文章って素敵よな!自分が登場する友達の書いてくれた文章、なんだか良いね。ちょっと物語の主人公になれた気分。こういう美しい日々の瞬間も、文章や写真にしないと他の人には伝わらない。もっとたくさん伝えて、みんなで共に生きている感覚を楽しみたいと思った。

何を考えているか
僕がリクエストした内容でちゃわんさんがnoteを書いてくれました!ありがたい、読んでいてとても興味深かった、面白い!
人間、やっぱりみんなひとりひとり全然考えていることが違って面白い!俺の毎日の頭の中は、結構メモしたりしているから、全部復元できてしまう。だからそれをベースにnoteを書いたり結構している。
人との繋がり
感想
人と人との繋がりが、幸せの本質なんだなぁと旅をずっとしていて自分もひしひしと感じていたとこだった。幸福度の高い1日を振り返ってみたら、絶対に素敵な人との関わりがある。それが幸福感に直結している。
夢って大事
感想
夢は叶ってみると「あ、こんなもんか」となる。時間が経つと「やっぱりあの時に夢を叶えておいて良かった。だからこそ今の環境がある」と納得する時もある。そして次の夢を抱く。僕が今抱いている夢は今まで僕が抱いていた夢を叶えたからこそ、湧き出てきたもの。夢を叶えてもっと大きい夢を描こう。

恋愛のコツ
感想
最近恋愛に色々思うことがあって、結構気づいたらこういうトピック読んでるけど、付き合うってなんなん?マジで。コミットメントを伴う、お互いのことを最も大事にします宣言?これは適当すぎる?
違いに寛容でありたい
覚悟でことは前に進む
一貫性の法則
感想
一貫性の法則とか聞いたことあるけど、過去の自分の発言と齟齬がないようにしたいという思いは、万人共通でめちゃめちゃ強いと思う。だからこそ、そこに自覚を持って、その考え方のクセが出た瞬間に軌道修正してあげられるようにしたい。
あらたの考える幸せ
感想
最近、幸せについてよく考える。自分のことを気にかけてくれる人の存在が自分の幸せの大きな要因だと思う。別に、一人で趣味も楽しめるけれど、それだとなんだか最後の一歩が足りない。社会的生き物としての人間は、やっぱり人との関わりがないと、満たされないんだと思う。
そして、一言で言うなら、毎日寝る前に満足感があるなら自分は極めて幸せだと思う。例えそれが学校の課題やインターンのタスクばっかりの日だったとしても、あ、今日もめっちゃ進んだ!という達成感があれば割りと幸せ。ただし、そのせいで自分の大好きな時間があまりにも犠牲になると、違う。
自分がどう見られているか
メンタルの薬
承認欲求
感想
自分を満たす、その手段が年々増えていくし、人生ってこれから先ずっと鰻登りなのでは?とか。まあ調子に乗りすぎると痛い目見るんだろうけど、meant to beってことで笑
写真で体験
違和感を大事に
感想
人の頭の中って、書いたり話したりしないと全然何があるのかわからないもの。だけど、蓋を開けてみると、やっていることは違えど結構同じような感情を抱いてたりする。これって神秘的だなって思う。区切ることへの違和感は俺もある。意味合いが少し違うけど、ずっと子どもみたいに人生を捉えたい
大人になったら、立派であらなければならない、多くを知っていないといけない、とか色々な社会的圧力はあると思うけれど、別に何も成さずに人生を終えてはいけないなんてルールはない。でも、喜びと幸せのために、なにかしたくなるのが人間な気がしてるわ。哲学者気取りだけど、マジでそう思う。
幸せは過程の中に
感想
自分は格闘技やってないけど、なんかこのメンタリティで格闘技と向き合う楽しさが想像できる文章。力強い!「幸せは、なにかに向けた過程の中にある」か。意味がわかるような、わからないような。でも、留学から帰って燃え尽きたのは、自分が過程を楽しんでいたってことの証明なのかもな〜。
追う者に
理想の生き方
感想
人の温かさ、新しいコミュニティに迎え入れられる瞬間の美しさみたいな部分を感じていた。そして、ファイターの背景情報?を知ると余計に応援したくなる。個人のストーリーの魅力ってすごい。店でもなんでも、サポートしたいと思うものの背景には強い思いがある。
俺もカッコよくないかも知れないけど、思いを大事にひたむきに生きていきたい。泥臭くて良いし、弱い自分がいてもいいし、それすらも周りと共有しながら楽しく幸せに生きていきたい。スケール感がデカい話だけど、本当にそう思っている。
友達とは
会いたい人
感想
そんな頻繁に会えないけれど、会うことがすごく意味深い人っているよね。先生、先輩、後輩、親の友達とか。誰かにとってのそういう存在でありたい、ふと思った。こいつと会うとなんかいい影響があるから会いたい。そんなヤツになりたい。でも俺の友達はみんな結構俺と会うと喜んでくれる。感謝!
消費者と表現者
感想:感謝される喜び。大事に思っている人を喜ばせられるのってすごく幸せなことよね。心が満ちる感覚がある。そして、表現すること、俺もやめたくない。シェア出来ないと、人間ってなんかハッピーじゃない生き物なんだと思う。分かち合うとか、共に味わうとか、そういうのが大事だと思う今日この頃。
noteをたくさん読む時間
1時間ずっとnote読んでた。10記事読んだ。知り合い、友達の記事をずっと読んでた。一緒に生きてる仲間がいるっていう安心感に加えて、すごく精神的に元気をもらえる。知らない人の本を読むよりは、知っている人の文章を読みたいと思う。午後4:38 · 2023年11月10日

いかがでしたか?コメントなどお待ちしてます!最後まで読んでくださってありがとうございます!また次回のnoteでお会いできるのを楽しみにしています👋

Time Spent Reading Many Notes
In Conclusion
Firstly
I'm currently in Amsterdam. Despite being on a journey, I can spend my time here in a very serene manner, thanks to my friends with whom I work. I'm truly grateful. Recently, every time I explore the city, I encounter an overwhelming amount of information. I've been wanting some time to read something slowly and write, all while taking the time as if I were in "my usual days in Japan."
I woke up this morning with a sudden desire to write on Note, and I worked for about 90 minutes (with a shower in between, haha). This time, the main focus is on quotations or excerpts, with a style where my impressions are somewhat added. I've done something similar before, summarizing the Note I read. For those who have read that, I'd like them to think it's somewhat similar!
I've categorized it into detailed topics (setting titles with personal bias), with the quoted parts in gray and, for the most part, the text is by Yasuhiro. I hope you enjoy reading even the parts you find interesting! Now, let's get into the content.
Suitable Roles
In the "box that doesn't fit your body," living with your legs forcibly bent is what makes it a "disability." Disabilities that fit the environment are nothing but "individuality."
Unable to Absorb When Full
Works are Public Property
The face reflected in the mirror is upside down. Photographs are the face of your past. You can't even know what kind of face you have now. Movies, music, and novels are left to the sensitivity of the receiver to spread without regard to the director's or author's intentions. Knowing oneself is entrusted to others.
Share House
"In Japan, with economic development, nuclear families have increased, and lonely people have increased. If share houses increase in Japan, relationships like families, although not blood-related, might increase, making Japan more interesting and bright.
" It's nice to be told "welcome home" when you return home. They quickly notice if your tension is low or if you're unwell, asking "what's wrong?" and worrying about you. I really think living in a share house is great. Through communal living, you learn a lot, and above all, it's fun.
Strength in Showing Weakness
"It's scary to show your weak side to others. I appreciate you telling me about your past. It's important to work sincerely and do your best, but I also want to live easily."
Learning Through Travel
I was surprised to learn that there are many people in cheap hostels in Mexico aiming for illegal entry into the United States.
I was told how lucky I am to be born in Japan. I was told that the Japanese passport is enviable. I met several people on this journey who have immigrated dissatisfied with their home country's politics and economy.
We Japanese can easily go to the United States if we want, but there are many people who risk their lives and lives there. I wonder what kind of situation their home country, where they want to escape from, is in.
To the Next Step
Comparing oneself to others only leads to unhappiness. I think so too.
If you think about it on a global scale, there is a small island called Hokkaido in Japan. The grades or repeating a year in one classroom at a university are very small stories.
I've traveled to many countries, but why am I trapped in that?... "I understand. Both are true, right? There are times when you feel depressed when you compare yourself to others, and there are times when you think this way of life is good."
I was told that. It's true. Both times exist. Ultimately, I thought it was important whether "I have pride in the way I live."
Even in an African village, there are people who live with pride, and even in advanced countries, there are people who live without pride while thinking "I want to escape, I want to quit."
For about the past two years, I've been doing various things just because I wanted individuality and identity.
I'm no longer an ordinary medical student. A medical student with a quite unique way of life. (On a global scale, it's normal, though, haha.)
I wanted individuality and identity, and I'm now entering the next phase. What kind of medical care do I want to provide? What do I want to express in this world?
Pride can't be measured by numbers, but I think it's something essential rather than wealth or poverty. Everyone on Earth, I hope you can live with pride!
From Norway
From Norway, the sound of a baby crying can be heard. In the midst of the hustle and bustle filled with unfamiliar words, a voice message whispers, "The temperature here is 2 degrees, and my hands are cold."
A voice message received from a friend (Yasuhiro) traveling far away, and I feel warmth with a temperature of 36 degrees.
The sound of the city, packed as if in a vacuum-packed bag, reaches my heart properly. I wanted to convey that to the person reading this, that the film stored in my memory is surely eternal.
Stories don't "tell." There is only how the receiver feels, and stories don't impose anything. I'm saved by the fact that there are people reading my "story," who think, feel, and receive the world through my eyes. Let's hold hands, stand up, and take a step forward. Because that courage will change today.
Impressions
I was on the side that sent a voice message from Norway, but from the perspective of Tsuji-chan in Japan, this is what happens...! I was moved by the description. It's wonderful how words work!
I feel like I became the protagonist of these beautiful daily moments written by my friend. I want to convey such beautiful moments more and enjoy the feeling of living together with everyone.
Want to Improve Expressions of Affection
I want to become a person who can express love and thoughts more abundantly. I wonder which language is the easiest to convey those feelings. At least in Japanese, it becomes embarrassing. English is more relaxed. Italian and Spanish also feel more emotionally expressive.

Happiness
"I have no regrets about anything. Past, present, and future, everything as it is. I am here because of the decisions I made. I'm happy to be here. There are many things that bring me happiness. There are many people I want to meet, many places I want to go. I am very happy."
Doing What You Want
"Regardless of what others say, you are the protagonist of your own life. Follow your heart and do what you want. Live freely. It's difficult, but I'm gradually getting better at it."
Being a Safe Haven
"By becoming someone's 'safe haven,' you can contribute and be of help to others. I want to cherish my relationships with people who are important to me, whether they are friends, neighbors, or colleagues." by Miwa-san
Knowing vs. Accepting
"One can only reach the realm of 'acceptance' after experiencing failure. Conversely, without going through the process of failure, it's difficult to truly 'accept' things. I've become more aware of whether I'm just pretending to know without really understanding. I want to shorten the distance between 'knowing' and 'accepting.'"
What I'm Thinking About
"Roughly summarized, it's 60% health, 30% work, and 10% other. The physical aspect is like a 'snack' – the more you chew, the more flavor you get. I've realized I can't judge accurately when I'm in the 'knowing' stage without reaching the 'acceptance' stage. In the end, having 'pride in the way I've lived' is what matters."
Why Do Men Like Fooling Around?
There's a story that boys say naughty things (like poop and pee jokes) because they want their moms to laugh.
Children born from this desire to make their mothers happy all want to make their mothers happy, even in places where their mothers aren't. The idea is that if their mom is pleased, they can do their best even when she's not around.
"Huh? Doesn't this behavior resemble the actions men take?" When he fools around, it's because he wants to make her laugh. When she gets angry, he apologizes, but he doesn't really feel that bad about it and remains nonchalant.
Men have a desire to "be of help to women." They help with housework, carry heavy things when shopping, and work hard outside to earn money. They have a sense that they feel happy when women are happy. Despite their efforts, if the results are not what women are looking for or if they are criticized by women, they get disappointed and lose motivation.
It's natural to feel sad when you've put in effort to make someone happy, but your intentions don't reach them. Inside, the feeling is, "I can make a woman happy just by being by her side. I'll help her so she can be happy."
Understanding this, you realize that his playful actions are also expressions of love.
You Can Travel Anytime
"By reading, you're traveling, perhaps because you can quickly fly to a world other than the one you're in."
The Real Important Things
"Let's live a life that is appreciated by others." Are companies with high sales really good companies? Are people working there really happy? Can rich people truly be respected as individuals?
Tips for Romance
"I know when I'm anxious, so I call three times a day, send lots of messages, and exchange letters and local souvenirs by airmail."
Impressions:
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about love. What is it to be in a relationship? Seriously. A declaration that involves commitment? Is that too casual?
Being Tolerant of Differences
Everyone thinks differently. Each person's sense of justice and value judgment is correct. Accepting or denying differences are both correct. Even if my heart is hurt and broken by those differences, as long as there are people who understand me, I can stand up and face forward.
Moving Forward with Determination
When you decide to be determined, your energy increases significantly, allowing you to move things with little effort. The states of "being in a state of worry" and "having a determined heart" are related to the size of your energy.
Law of Consistency
"My own words are more tricky than other people's words. I'm entangled in the words I said at that time."
It's difficult to correct statements made to others. Even if the other person doesn't remember, you feel stuck within yourself. Your own words become a hindrance, and your movement becomes sluggish.
I stopped binding myself too much. I'm the only one who can see my life as a "line." Even if it's family, what they see is only a "point." I think it's okay to have confidence in your own judgments and changes.
What is binding me? Am I caught up in fixed ideas? What choices will make me happy?
Impressions:
I've heard of the law of consistency, but I think the desire to avoid inconsistencies in my past statements is universal and incredibly strong. That's why I want to have awareness and be able to correct my course of action when the habit of thinking in that way emerges.
Thoughts on Happiness
"Beautiful things are 'beautiful.' Delicious food is 'delicious.' When I'm with my beloved partner, it's 'lovely.' In my mind, everything I feel fits into various vocabularies, and happiness is a vocabulary that doesn't fit into any of these." I realized that the definition of happiness is different for each person.
For me, happiness is when I can spend time with a partner without a specific goal, and it becomes a part of my daily life.
My happiness was the everyday life I had always wanted. It took 21 years to find a satisfactory answer.
Why couldn't I realize happiness until now? It's because I hadn't fully trusted my partner from the bottom of my heart. Opening your heart takes time. Even if it looks like it's open, in reality, it may not be open, and trust may be lacking. Even if you're told you can talk about anything, you may not be able to consult.
The purpose was to spend time together. There was a feeling that it was okay to meet at this pace. I think I have faced challenges in relationships, but because of those failures, I now have what I have, and I feel sorry for many people.
Impressions:
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about happiness. The presence of someone who cares about me is a big factor in my happiness. It's not that I can't enjoy hobbies alone, but it feels like something is missing.
As social creatures, humans, without interaction with others, feel unfulfilled.
In a nutshell, if there is a sense of satisfaction before going to bed every day, I think I'm extremely happy.
Even if it's a day full of school assignments or internship tasks, I'm fairly happy if there's a sense of accomplishment like, "Oh, I did a lot today!" However, if my favorite time is sacrificed too much because of it, it's different.
How I'm Perceived
From an outsider's perspective, I think I look like a guy who loves overseas. Certainly, more than half of my friends since entering university are friends born and raised abroad. But I don't hate Japan. I surprise people when I say I want a Japan-based future. I have aspects of longing for overseas, but I also think Japan is wonderful.
From Yasuhiro's Twitter haha
Mental Medicine
Commonalities among people who become mentally ill: "Goals are too high," "I like stepping on the accelerator." Learn how to use the brakes. By Kabasawa Shion
Desire for Approval
What is the desire for approval?
It is the desire to be recognized by others, the desire to be acknowledged as a valuable existence, also known as 'respect and self-esteem.
Concrete things I did in Chapter 2:
- Challenge things I wanted to do but didn't (travel, play, relationships, and romance in all genres)
- Take actions outside my comfort zone - Give myself words of appreciation
Experiencing through Photos
Gou-kun, who I've been a long-time fan of his photography, exhibits a delightful evolution in his style! Lately, it seems he's focusing more on capturing nature, and it's fantastic.
His notes make you feel like you're strolling through a forest together. I'm currently in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and seeing scenes reminiscent of Japan made it even more enjoyable.
@go_mitarai
It's so delightful to hear that it feels like we're strolling through a forest together!
@yasu__kasai
Gou-kun, thank you! It's great! It's essential to share such impressions, too, right? ✌
Valuing Discomfort
"For about three years since 2021, I've tried to write a diary almost every day. It covers my feelings before matches, thoughts on training, and various daily reflections. Modern society lacks a concept to measure preferences (axes), and we've transitioned into a world where proposals come from the supply side. It's crucial to practice within challenging situations, figuring out how to make it easier or gain control over opponents. Yasuhiro KASAI"
Savoring the Journey
The happiness of working towards something, experiencing the highs and lows, and becoming stronger is immensely joyful for me, even if I'm an ordinary person not always succeeding.
I can't imagine quitting martial arts. My happiness is not about obtaining something but lies within the process of striving towards something.
Pursuer vs. Pursued
Rather than viewing every day as a 'rehearsal for the main event that will come someday,' I prioritize living deeply each day.
I've always focused on those ahead of me rather than finding comfort in the distance from those chasing me.
As a wise person once said, 'Those who pursue will always surpass those pursued.'"
Ideal Way of Living
I want to change myself who has been winning and losing repeatedly. However, I don't have the talent to stay strong while comfortably staying in my hometown. From this perspective, I decided to leave Hokkaido and engage in martial arts. I want to leave my mark, not starting from the top but as the lowest-ranked professional fighter. If I lose, I'll drop down again. The difference with those above is significant, but in the right environment, recognition will come if I develop my skills.
Discomfort' is crucial for becoming stronger. People who can't endure this discomfort when moving from the countryside to Tokyo tend to return home. Even I, by joining a robust gym, won't become strong so easily. It's essential to stay true to my principles, forgetting my initial intentions and avoiding being deceived by fakes and liars.
What Friends Are
"We had tea and went on group dates. In the early days of university, I lived while harboring resentment, jealousy, and bitterness towards the two devils in the gym—two people who shared the same goal: victory in matches."
People I Want to Meet
"I met a teacher who teaches ethics and political economics at a cram school and also provides classes for high school students. During my gap year, they were the first to show me the joy of learning. Since then, we've met about twice a year. I always bring questions and consult about things I want to know. This time, the teacher asked me to read a book, 'Let's talk about it,' they said. We discussed Yoshimoto Takaaki's 'Theory of Joint Illusion' and what youth might be."
Consumer vs. Expresser
"Viewing unknown landscapes and tasting unique local cuisines is enjoyable, but that remains at the level of being a 'consumer.' There's no gratitude involved. Updating Instagram or a blog results in likes and comments like 'interesting' or 'gave me the courage to act.' It's heartwarming, but I might have become somewhat accustomed to this joy. I can't feel how much impact I'm making in the world. The joy of being thanked by someone in front of you is incomparable. I want to be an 'expresser,' an artist. I want to explode with more and more art."
Dedicated Time for Reading Notes
"I spent an hour straight reading notes. I read ten articles, all written by acquaintances and friends. Reading notes by people I know not only provides a sense of reassurance due to the presence of companions but also gives me tremendous mental energy. It's more meaningful to read about someone's thoughts than reading a book by someone unknown."
Lastly
How was it? I'm looking forward to your comments! Thank you for reading until the end! I hope to see you again in the next note. 👋
