眠れなくても 夜は明ける
それを僕は 眺めている
Even if I cant sleep, dawn will break as I gaze over it
(Lyrics from Yorugaakeru by Given)
This spring semester, I tried my hand at 2D animation for the first time. With no experience, it has been challenging (this GIF took several hours) but it gave me a new sense of joy. A lot has happened over this semester; I struggled with a lot of anxiety, stress and hopelessness…but I’ve found moments of happiness with new friends, new hobbies and imagining a bright future ahead.
夜は明ける literally translates to “the night will get light”
This song is really meaningful for me, and music in general has been a huge emotional support.
I currently feel a mix of apprehension and optimism.
Wow, Jess, this animation is so impressive!
Based on your reflection, it seems like you’ve given yourself the space to reflect on a tough time and have been able to see abundance ahead. Thank you for sharing!
