When was the last time you got out for the day and enjoyed being with friends and doing something fun that you wanted to do? ❤️

Every Saturday of the last few months has been special and motivating, even if some were difficult or if the week had been exhausting, every Saturday I gathered good experiences that I will now keep in my memory as beautiful moments.

Hello to all the participants of this community, my name is Fernanda, illustrator and designer, and I would like to share this brief story with you.

I have been studying Japanese for a few years, however since the pandemic and since 2021 and 2022 were still years of recovery in many aspects, in my life and the lives of many, I had stopped studying it.
This year I decided to go back to class, which I accepted, and so I had reunions with my class friends and I also met new classmates.
In addition to that, after school it became common to plan some activity in the afternoon, just take walks before going home. These moments, although they seemed simple, were very motivating.
---
**A good thing about studying Japanese, apart from learning the language, is that you also get used to understanding good aspects of their culture, like not giving up, always trying to improve and grow, and keeping our goals and desires alive.**
---
Therefore, the first question seems very interesting to me: When was the last time you got out for the day and enjoyed being with friends and doing something fun that you wanted to do?

It was something that hadn't happened for a long time, but definitely after the pandemic, the desire to be able to take advantage of every moment we have, in a place, with a special person, with friends, grew in me even more... Every moment is unrepeatable and our time in this world is very limited.
---
That's why every Saturday afternoon when I went to class, it helped me to be able to appreciate each moment, I noticed how they gave me energy to be able to deal with my problems and fears. And it helped me take risks and believe in myself more and understand that we must value our life and take advantage of it. For example, being with people you appreciate, telling them and showing them how important they are; eating together, talking, discovering new places, having fun...! Understand that every second we spend alive will not happen again and see that as an opportunity.
---
Perhaps what we experience is not always good, but when you stay present, any moment can be special.
Cada sábado de los últimos meses han sido especiales y motivadores, incluso si algunos fueron difíciles o si la semana había sido agotadora, cada sábado fui reuniendo buenas experiencias que ahora mantendré en mi memoria como lindos momentos.

Hola a todos los participantes de esta comunidad, mi nombre es Fernanda, ilustradora y diseñadora, y quisiera compartirles esta breve historia.

Hace unos años que estudio japonés, sin embargo desde la pandemia y como 2021 y 2022 aún seguían siendo años de recuperación en muchos aspectos, en mi vida y en la de muchos, había dejado de estudiarlo.
Este año me propuse regresar a clases, cosa que acepté, y así tuve reencuentros con mis amigos de clase y conocí también nuevos compañeros.
Además de eso, después de clases se hizo frecuente planear alguna actividad en las tardes, solo dar paseos antes de volver a casa. Estos momentos, aunque parecían simples, fueron muy motivadores.
---
**Lo bueno de estudiar japonés, además de aprender el idioma, es que también te acostumbras a entender aspectos buenos de su cultura, como no rendirse, siempre tratando de mejorar y crecer, manteniendo vivas nuestras metas y anhelos.**
---
Por ello la primera pregunta me parece muy interesante: When was the last time you got out for the day and enjoyed being with friends and doing something fun that you wanted to do?
---
De hecho era algo que hace tiempo no sucedía, pero definitivamente luego de la pandemia creció en mí aún más, el deseo de poder aprovechar cada momento que tenemos, en un lugar, con una persona especial, con amigos... Cada momento es irrepetible y nuestro tiempo en este mundo es muy limitado.
---
Por eso cada tarde de los sábados en que fui a clases, me ayudaba a poder apreciar cada momento, notaba cómo me daban energía para poder lidiar con mis problemas y miedos. Y definitivamente me ayudó a tomar riesgos, creer más en mí y entender que debemos valorar y aprovechar nuestra vida. Por ejemplo estar con personas que aprecias, decirles y demostrarles lo importantes que son, comer juntos, conversar, conocer nuevos lugares, ¡divertirse...! Entender que cada segundo que pasamos con vida no se volverá a repetir y ver eso como una oportunidad.

Quizá no siempre lo que vivimos es bueno, pero cuando te mantienes presente, cualquier momento puede ser especial.
