checkpoints for life by banana yoshimoto

* are your taste buds working properly?

* do you look forward to waking up in the morning?

* are you happy all day?

* do you feel good when you go to bed at night?

...now. you are standing on the street and you see a friend coming...

* are you happy?

* or is it a bother?

...look around and notice the scenery...

* does the beauty of nature strike at your heart?

* what about music?

* how does it sound?

...think about a trip overseas...

* is that something you'd be interested in?

* do you get excited when you think about it?

* or is it just another pain in your life?

* do you look forward to tomorrow?

* how about the day after next?

* what comes to mind when i say "future"?

* does it excite you?

* depress you?

* how do you feel right now?

* are things going well?

* do you look in the mirror and like what you see?
