Hunger

I understand it now somewhat. I made my last post venting about how NHK made me feel, since it hit so close to home and how I feel like a lot of us will be hikokamoris forever, and just wondering how to get out of it. And I think I finally understand what the point of the show was-

It wasn’t to show that getting a job or being normal is what’s gonna help you grow, but it’s hunger. When you truly have no other option left BUT to improve somehow, because you’re stranded all alone, with no reliance on anyone.

I know someone commented this too that the show meant that you can always get better, even if you’re not happy, and that’s a beautiful message. But I think we should view hunger as a metaphor.

Force yourself to do things you don’t want to do to improve your life as if you have no other choice. I’ve been at an alltime low recently so I don’t know how much this will help me but as long as we take action and use our hunger for our benefit, we will succeed someday, or atleast get better. Progress.
