Outdoor photo shoot
I developed this character with Yu Ting, and only today did I name her AKIRA.
This character might actually exist: an e-sports player who actually wanted to be an apprentice to a manicurist. However, because his nails were bitten by his obsessive-compulsive disorder and were badly damaged, he lost the confidence to do manicures for others, let alone being an apprentice to do manicures for others. We all have choices that are there, but we discard them because of our self-confidence. Although it does not disappear, the inferiority caused by self-confidence is far greater than our ability to make choices.

When I was a freshman in high school, I thought that maybe I could become a competitive swimmer. But even though I won first place in the 50-meter backstroke in my junior year, and first place in the 25-meter race in the Freshman Cup when I was in college (I still remember my score was 17'80"), I still didn't dare to move forward towards becoming a competitive swimmer. When I was in the second year of high school, I unexpectedly got pneumothorax, a disease with a pathological cause that had nothing to do with me. They said that the group most susceptible to pneumothorax are tall and thin males, with a male to female ratio of 5:1. But apart from the fact that I was a male, which was consistent with the accident, the cause of the disease being tall and thin has nothing to do with me, right? After the operation, the doctor reminded me not to do strenuous exercise, and I rested for a year. During the process, I didn’t think about doing strenuous exercise. It was not until I decided to participate in a swimming competition that I realized that I could still do strenuous exercise. In fact, nothing happened. Yes, nothing happened that made me dare not continue gambling. What if my alveoli rupture and I die in a swimming pool one day? The idea of becoming an athlete was stillborn. The choice was there, but I rejected it.

How long have we let our low self-esteem control our choices? If self-confidence did not exist, would we not be afraid of failure, being seen or being hated by others? Actually, I can continue swimming as long as I am not afraid that something might happen to my lungs, even though they are already quite healthy; actually, the character of AKIRA can continue getting manicures as long as she doesn't mind people seeing what her nails look like. This actually seems like another misunderstanding. People say that pianists must have beautiful fingers, right? I have seen with my own eyes the fingers of a musician who practiced the piano for six hours a day and whose fingers were badly damaged. Do they mind having their hands seen? Maybe, but the tools to create beauty are still there. They have not given up the option of creating beauty, but continue to create beauty.
