Hey guys. How are you? This year is almost over. What kind of year was 2022? My 2022 was a year of training. Both physically and mentally. During this year, I was actually troubled many times. I feel like I was worrying all the time about what I want to be, how I want to fight against the world, how I want to attract people, and things like that. That is because I went outside. I think I had been struggling with these worries because there is a completely different world outside of Tokyo Joshi. Everyone overseas is amazing. They all have something I don't have. I didn't know how to catch up. So I lost confidence more and more😂 But now I think that was a necessary worry for me to be me. When I confided in Miyu Yamashita and Yuki Kamifuku about these worries, I felt better. They know me better than I do. Those two people never denied me. The path you are on now is the right one, be you, not someone else. And they both had one thing in common: I was stuck in a dark hole for about 10 months and thanks to their words, I finally got out. ☺️ Now I'm confident in being Maki Ito. At any rate, I want to continue to fight with various people overseas next year to gain more experience. And in Tokyo Joshi I would like to use the experience I gained overseas to explode in Japan. I want to leave some results in Japan. I will do my best in 2023, so watch out for me! I still have a lot of Christmas pictures to post.😂 thank you, fuck you maki x
