AES73 Sharing Session & Ikigai

So today we talked about ikigai at school. This discussion about ikigai is the closing of our sharing session routine. For those who don’t know ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your 'reason for being. ' 'Iki' in Japanese means 'life,' and 'gai' describes value or worth. Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It's what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day.

I think ikigai is really interesting, how it really helps me to plan my future. Because I really have a lot of things that I want to achieve in my life. I personally find planning my future something that is so important. Planning really helps me to know what steps I need to take to achieve the things I want. I think all of the elements in ikigai also help me to know myself better and to connect the dots of these different aspects of myself. 

Sharing session just like its name is just a thing we do to share things. We talk about our idols, our favorite films, songs, our passion, and so much more. I think sharing session really helps my class to come together in a way that we can relate to each other and we can understand how our friends see the world. As we know more about our friends, we also get to know more things about ourselves. At every sharing session, I feel like I learn a new fact about myself or I have something new in my mind. 

So yeah I think sharing session is also one of my favorite activities because it’s just so chill and you can really relax your mind and just let the things in your mind flow. It’s really healthy to do that, you don’t wanna let things spin in your head for too long.
