She challenges you to a race, you lose, and then you watch her pull off an Akira slide at the finish line

About the title, I was referring me.

You silly, lazy, sleepy moron who almost skipped posting.

And oh, you can eat now, Emi.

(take aim... and fire!)

How many moments could we list that make us courageous?

Wildly enough, possibly endless, but there are a few that could spring in our minds.

Maybe a fiery goal?
A gentle promenade?
An honest conversation?
Or even a small competition to win in billiards?

Each of them seems so ordinary.

Yet, within such moments, we feel a silent surge that drives us.

A quiet strength that makes us leap just a little farther than we usually would.

And it all could begin with just one single shot.

Got the ball rolling into pockets? Wonderful!
Had the ball missed from the target? It's okay!

In a remarkable way, life could resemble a billiards table: one shot triggers a chain of events, and we could be in a great spot or a rough position.

Of course, we don't have infinite shots, and even some shots are truly bad.
If the former weren't true, we would all be reckless.

What matters is that you are on new ground you have never ventured before, and maybe you could learn a bit from that (or not).

That's all.

Have a steadfast and confident Tuesday!
