Ito himself had a relatively legendary life. He suffered from anorexia at the age of 20, depression at the age of 35, divorced, went to live in the United States in his 40s, and lived with an American painter at the age of 55. He has three daughters in the United States. The eldest daughter became pregnant out of wedlock, and Ms. Bilumi became a grandmother in style. Before her father passed away, she traveled long distances between California, USA, and Kumamoto, Japan, every month. After her father passed away, she danced Zumba every day, lost four kilograms, and put on jeans again.
In the second half of her life, the way she chose to live was to rush forward, take a gamble, do it, miss it, and do it again!
Reader comments
This book is very real, and I admire the author Hiromi Ito for bravely sharing her life experiences. Her story reminded me of the book "My Life". Maye Musk is also a woman with rich experiences and a perseverance spirit. The sensitivity to climate change mentioned by Ito in the book also resonates with me. As we age, we may become more aware of changes in our bodies. However, as Ito said, we must learn not to care, accept our imperfections, and face the challenges of life bravely. This book makes me cherish my current life more and gives me more courage to pursue the life I want.
It records in detail the specific manifestations of aging of women between the ages of forty-five and sixty, physical, mental, and the angle of attention. It's like receiving an education on female aging. Everything happened naturally, and the image of a strong, elegant and optimistic woman emerged vividly on the page. No matter what he went through, he persisted in his career. At the age of 60, he has been actively participating in Japanese literary circles and was invited to teach at Waseda University in Japan for three years. She is sixty years old, and she is struggling with whether to return to Japan from the United States to teach. She is worried that no one will take care of her dog at home, and she arranges things at home properly. She is really an amazing woman.
Recommended to perimenopausal sisters. Although it doesn't talk much about amenorrhea, it is full of women's experiences and inner feelings from middle age to old age. Maybe they can find resonance, maybe it's a preview.
Maybe it's because of my personality. I always feel anxious about time and the passage of time, and I can't help but think about what aging will be like. So after reading this book, I feel like I can still accept it.
He describes the changes in his body in a humorous and self-deprecating tone. The book is called "Closure Brokerage" and actually does not have much space to describe his amenorrhea. It mainly focuses on the different feelings he has about the world physically and mentally as he grows older. It is worth reading.
The dilemma of a middle-aged woman is fully exposed, and she is so frank and endearing. Perhaps this is her true nature, so that people in the same situation do not need to feel ashamed.
Survival, dignity, intimacy, gains and losses, the problems that people face in old age are no different from those when they were young. It is the body that ages, not the spirit. So you don't need to face a huge enemy. You can grow old slowly while exercising, dancing, eating delicious food, and making new friends.
Thoughts of menopausal women. It's quite interesting. Faced with the entanglement of the gradual aging of one's body and the emotional entanglement with elderly parents, everyone will eventually face things that they are unwilling to face and express.
The author's writing style is natural and the content of his writing is frank and simple. I really like such unpretentious and natural writing.
Ninety percent of those here have been defeated
I like the author's humor, and it's also interesting to learn about the menopausal status of foreigners.
Relaxed and humorous, full of affection in trivial truths, loving life, loving parents, loving partners, loving children, unique style, people like it
Good looking, Japanese humor
True sharing at this age
This is the first time I discovered such a humorous and interesting Japanese writer.
