Genuine and sincere GenuinとSincere

少し前に知人とのつながりでアムステルダムに来ているイギリスに住んでいた日本人アーティストの方と話をして以来、自分の中でリバイバルされたGenuineとSincereというキーワード。

昔、イギリスにいた時、この二つの言葉は「自分はどういう人間になりたいか」というのに重要な言葉だったのに気付かされ、静かにハッとした。

オランダに来てしばらくするうちに、いつの間にか忘れてしまっていたGenuineとSincere。

日本語にすると、Genuine「本当の」、Sincere「正直な」とかいう感じ。

でも、自分にはGenuineとSincereは何となく日本語にしにくい。

いつの間にか、あまりGenuineとSincereな自分ではなくなって来ていたかも、、。

もう一度、Genuine and sincereをモットーに自分を修正して行きたい、と思って日々を過ごす今日この頃。

'Genuine' and Sincere'. The two key words that have been revived in me since i had some talks with a Japanese artist who lived in England, a little ago.

i realised those two words had been important for 'What sort of person i wanted to be' when i was studying in England, and felt quietly awoken.
Since i'd come to the Netherlands and spent some time i had forgotten how important they meant to me.
In Japanese 'Genuine' means something like 'Ture' and 'Sincere' means like 'Honest'. But i can't really traslate these words into Japanese. 

While i didn't notice i had become not so genuine and sincere, perhaps...

Once again, i would like to pick these words up as my motto and redirect myself. This is how i spend everyday nowadays.
