おかしいと思う。（そう、おれ初めてのポストは日本語で書く。）どしておれ今ポストしてるの分からない。どしておれ寝るの代わりにポストを書くのも分からない。
Because you CAN!
（１）「自分が幸せだと思うのなら、本当に幸せになる」って言う人は自分に嘘をつける人なんです。
If you compare yourself to a child of a similar age in a less well-developed country, such as Africa or rural China, you really are extremely privileged and comfortable, and you really should be considering yourself happy.
I realize I probably use this argument a lot, but it still remains striking, at least to me.
My below-par Japanese prose-reading (e.g. non-manga) skills failed to decipher the rest of that item within the bounds of my patience. I found it odd that you used “ore” as your personal pronoun (no offense or anything, haha; it’s totally cool).
Oh, and I can’t quite remember what post you’re quoting that inspired this post, haha.
（２）でもさあ、幸せをなるのが出来ると思う、あんたは。「絶対無理」って言うのがけっして本当にならね。お前絶対幸せになる。
Stop making unsubstantiated claims about my future happiness >_<;
明日じゃねかも。来年じゃねかも。でも絶対に何時か幸せを見つける。自分に「おれはその言う気がするのが絶対出来ない」って言い続けて、「自分が幸せだと思うのなら、本当に幸せになる」って言う人が同じじゃないの？
Think of it this way; as a kind of Thanksgiving thing. Count the things you’re grateful for, rather than brood over the hateful things in your life.
It doesn’t solve any problems at all, but happy AHS students are efficient AHS students.
おれそう思うんけど…今自分が世界に幸せを見つけられないんから、自分を作らなきゃいけないと思う
“Making your own happiness”, is it? That’s some pretty slick wording, but doesn’t it basically still entail convincing yourself that you are in fact very happy?
でもいつもいつも大変だ。けど、おれは、幸せになるために絶対に「けっしてならない」って言うのはいけないと思う。
幸せになるために、よく頑張るぞ！絶対ならなきゃいけないだぜ。
That’s the spirit!
日本語を読める人へ：日本語を下手に使ったのが申し訳ないんだ。
You’re lightyears beyond me.
ベンさんのポストは日本語で書いたんだから、おれが日本語で答えるの方がいいと思った。
I really should’ve replied in Japanese… sorry ;_;
… 実は、もう一回自分のポストを読んだ。意味あんまりね。
That happens 100% of the time when I try to post in Japanese. Or maybe we’re just too tired to understand what we just wrote.
hiya! what Japanese font(s) are you using – been looking for good fonts to flesh out my collection. been relying on Meiryo a tad much. ^^v
I think this is just the italicized version of the default Japanese font on your system. ^^”
tho I could be wrong, lol.
oh, i recognized Meiryo immediately, it being my default ever since it came out – still the clearest and most complete font choice by far, I’m sure. i was referring to fonts you use offline, e.g. that handwritten font – posted under the wrong entry, whoops! ^^”
ohh lol. that was mikachan, a free japanese handwriting font I found on the internet. I’ll look up the link…

A lot of my other Japanese fonts are stolen from anime files. You know how lots of fansub groups add custom fonts for the karaoke… yeah XD
ah, Mika! thanks for the heads up, and Happy New Year! ^^
happy new year!
