Q: Have you stopped doing such things?
Ayu: Yes. I don’t want to start hating myself. Supposing some of ViVi’s readers hate their current self or don’t know whether they like themselves, I hope they won’t just stop there. Try to find the you that you like. Because she definitely exists —
Don’t leave it to others. Find her inside of you first. What makes you feel good? Try to think of a day when you felt good. Try to think what made you feel that way. Was it because you were wearing a different colour than usual? Was it because you were in a different group than usual? Things like that. There’s no way that every day is exactly the same, so there must’ve been a reason. You simply haven’t noticed it because you weren’t looking for it. It’s a waste to end your life because you hate yourself or because you don’t know what you want to do in the future. You could wait for someone to come along and tell you "You’re wonderful when you do this" or "You’re definitely suited for this job", but there’s no guarantee such a person will appear. Even if you stay passive, no one will find your answer for you. That’s because the answer is something you have to find yourself.
