Boldly Decluttering Art Supplies... My Desired Career Path Was Art - Rie Mimura's Heart

産経ニュース
Actress Rie Mimura decluttered art supplies she hadn't touched for 20 years, finally letting go of her unfulfilled desire to pursue art.

Summary

Actress Rie Mimura realized during conversations with junior colleagues about their career uncertainties that she was holding onto her own unresolved feelings regarding her initial career aspiration: fine arts. This realization centered on two boxes of art supplies she had brought from her parents' home when she moved to Tokyo to become an actress, which she hadn't opened in 20 years. She recognized these supplies represented guilt over abandoning art and served as an insurance policy against potential failure in the acting industry. Concluding that the future remains uncertain but she has gained wisdom, she decided that if she truly wanted to paint again, she could simply buy new supplies. She immediately disposed of the materials, experiencing a profound sense of exhilaration, which she plans to discuss further in a sequel.
