Some of you may have just gone through a change in your environment this spring and are feeling lonely or anxious.
For you, I recommend listening to Toshihide Baba’s “Yowai Mushi” (“Weak Bug”).
Its lyrics depict the frailty of people who look down on those weaker than themselves, as well as one’s own negativity.
As you listen, pay attention to what kind of mindset the narrator reaches after confronting these feelings.
