Hello, it’s Sonata here🌿

With all the rain these past few days, the cherry blossoms have scattered quite a bit, haven’t they?🌸

Seeing the scenery—which was so vibrant when the blossoms were in full bloom—gradually transform into leafy cherry trees makes me feel that spring has taken another step forward.

Every year, when the cherry blossoms start to fall, I become aware of the spring air in a slightly different way.

That’s because of pollen season.

Spring is a gentle and bright season, but for me, it’s not just a pleasant time of year.

There’s a clear trigger I can recall that made me start worrying about the air even while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

I developed hay fever one spring when I was in my mid-30s.

There was a day when I went to a mountainous area for work, and on that mountain, yellow pollen was falling like a shower.

Even looking back now, it’s a scene that has left quite an impression on me.

I’ve had asthma since I was young, so perhaps I’ve always had some sort of allergic constitution.

However, until that time, I wasn’t clearly aware of it, and I didn’t have hay fever.

However, after spending some time in those mountains, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my eyes, and my eyes started watering profusely while my nose ran.

It hurt so much I couldn’t keep my eyes open, and I was in a state where I didn’t even know what was happening to me.

I never imagined pollen could be the cause, so I just spent a few hours there as is, but by the time I started heading down the mountain, things had calmed down a bit.

Still, it kept bothering me, so I went to the hospital a few days later and found out I had hay fever.

Even now, whenever spring comes around, I naturally recall the mountain scenery from that time and that sudden, intense discomfort.

Since then, spring has become a season for me not only to appreciate the beauty of cherry blossoms and the new season, but also to be mindful of the air quality.🌿

Even though it’s the same spring, I feel my perception of it has changed slightly between my younger days and now.

Now, when this time of year comes around, I’ve come to cherish the time I spend at home after being outside even more than before.

Especially on days when I’ve really soaked in the spring air, I feel relieved to have a quiet, calming time in the evening.

At times like that, my inhalation routine has become a natural transition to help me shift my mindset.

It’s less about pushing myself to do something, and more like a sensation of returning from time spent outdoors to the quiet of my home 🌙

Spring is a bright season, and it feels wonderful to go outside.

But at the same time, I feel a bit of caution within myself.

I think this is what spring feels like to me right now—spending time while feeling both of those things.

When the cherry blossoms start to fall, it feels like the first half of spring has come to a close.

And as I look at that scenery, I remember the day I first became aware of pollen season.

Even as I breathe in the spring air, I want to cherish the ways of spending my time that feel comfortable to me.

With those thoughts in mind, I’m spending this season once again 😊
