The sea breeze felt very pleasant on this hot day :3
It also made for a very nice clacking sound of the Ema (votive tablets :) against their stand (not the JoJo kind of stand :D
Sadly I got there too late and couldn’t put up a Ema…
I put up an Ema at every shrine I came by asking for the same things but one of my wishes didn’t get granted (-_-) A friend I like a lot lost her mother and I always wished for it not to happen (I did always wishEs for this ever since I learned about her mothers condition by the end of 2016) sometimes life is cruel to the people we like and we cannot help but feel a part of the pain of this person.
I’m not religious and don’t expect too much from doing this but it helps a bit and thinking about a friend who’s in trouble or hurt is sometimes the only thing you can do and putting up Ema helped me deal with the feeling of helplessness.
There are few people I hold in such a high esteem as I do with this friend.
So that evening I still had hope it is only in hindsight that it fills me with sadness and nostalgia.
I’m sorry about the sad tangent m(_ _)m
I’m wishing you all the best including sweet dreams (^-^)/
Keep smiling and cry as much as you want but like getting up after falling you need to start smiling again even if it hurts a bit sometimes. :,)
After all my friend is still there.
