Breaking Up is Difficult

[@Jbugsmomma01]

I immediately went to the comments to see if it was the end of you and Satoshi. I was like..NOOOOO! SO glad it isnt but I'm sorry for the hurt you've endured. We all go thru tough trials in life. All we can do is learn and be better for it.

[@enisorailovesfood323]

Same thing for me !!!😭

[@mlareine327]

Same

[@krissykriss328]

Shinichi you are so precious and loved and perfect just the way you are !!!=^..^=

[@MatthewBaran]

My heart dropped seeing the title. I thought you and Satoshi broke up, omg. On a serious note, we all do silly things when we feel love. You can only throw your heart out there and hope someone keeps it.

[@amandamitchell1380]

OMG, same! I'd be devo if the guys split up!!

[@coffeepandajack1273]

Omg me too my heart was in my mouth because they are such a cute couple

[@Kyuri0806]

Me too. My heart sank and my jaw dropped when I saw the title. I'm glad I watch the video.

[@tarathehumblebaker9194]

Omg I hope never a break up with Satoshi I love the two of you together ❤️

[@karinwijaya753]

ME TOO! My finger clicked the video so fast i almost drop my new phone...

[@mmhope9411]

I'm super vulnerable. I'm super sensitive. I've also been complacent. I've also forgotten about myself. I'm also very good at beating myself up and blaming myself. I also have regrets. You're not alone. At some point, we have to forgive ourselves and be kind to ourselves. Anger can take us over very quickly and destroy things that haven't even started yet. You're amazing, honest, authentic ( I had to steal your word) and so inspirational. You're helping people, please don't ever forget that. You're finding your purpose and not everyone has that chance.

[@dharmagems]

This is one of the best videos you made Shinichi. You were vulnerable and real. I deeply connected with your honesty, strength, and wisdom. Love and peace.

[@johnsymons76]

I applaud you for sharing such intimate and painful events in your life. That took so much courage. Remember the saying, "steel forged in fire becomes stronger". You have been forged many times at great expense to your heart but now you are so much stronger. I totally relate to your feelings of not wanting to risk being hurt again after your heart has been broken. It sounds like you are on the right path and there will be a light at the end of this dark and dreary tunnel. Someday I hope I will have such courage to live life again. I am still in the cold, dark and lonely tunnel but at least I am not being hurt anymore. Take care and thanks for opening up to all of your viewers. You have many friends on this channel who really do wish the best for you.

[@blackbeard68]

I know I am almost a year late, just found this video. We all go through it and the emotional people are left thinking that it was something wrong with them and not the other person. "Well, if I was better looking, made more money, etc, then they wouldn't have left me." It's complete BS that we tell ourselves. I love watching you and listening to you. You're beautiful. Keep smiling! Keep being you! You are amazing! Just remember that! Sending big bear hugs from across the pond.

[@jk75861]

Read the title. Died. Read the comments. Resuscitated.

[@lioness77alfar]

Me too scared me ....started checking comments panicked

[@jacquelingtraveling1337]

SAME!!!

[@lizzyh458]

I came across this video (a bit late) and wow did it hit me! Struggling myself with relationship "challenges" at this moment, it made me emotional but also helped me to watch this. Thankx again for opening up to us.

[@allygoodpasture]

When the notification came up, I was worried it was about you and Satoshi, so glad I was wrong :) great video about a hard topic

[@joy12division]

I was like "oh shit dot dot dot".

[@eats0ap]

I thought the same thing! I was relieved to see that I was wrong.

[@krissykriss328]

Omg right ????? Thank gawd I adore Satoshi!!!! And Shinichi!!!love from Arizona!!!

[@kmanarabrown3259]

I cannot believe I never saw this channel. I watch TabiEats all the time. I enjoy learning more about you.

[@lmaree200886]

They have six channels

[@snichol421]

You should never be afraid to show who you are, though there will always be people who judge, there will also be those who will have your back. I have your back and truly hope you open up one day. I learned not everyone's definition of relationships fit the norm and that it is okay to play outside that box. 💙

[@edgeyberzerker]

After the last painful break up, I started to focus on myself and, as hard as it was, it was the best decision of my life. I needed to hear this and thank you for sharing your advice.

[@annestatland1652]

You know Shinichi, I think most everyone has gone through a "warped" relationship or two - doesn't make you a bad person or weird or anything, it makes you human.. These are our learning moments. You can share or not share, I think your followers will not judge. For me, who am I to judge you? Not my place. You are a warm caring human being and we (I) love seeing you and Satoshi together, it seems to me you that you complement each other - it's all good and you are loved! Thank you for all your honesty and the gifts you share with us along the way . . .

[@poogbooket]

I went through the worst breakup of my life about 3 months ago, and i'm still recovering and trying to figure out how to feel better. Thanks for being open and talking about this. It's nice to know I'm not alone, and that I can get through it, because it still feels really hopeless most days.

[@deborahchick2646]

I'm so glad you found a loving relationship that has lasted. Everyone should let their significant other know everyday how much they are loved, I never got to tell my soulmate how much I loved him. 25 years was all we had. Hugs and kisses. Thank you for sharing your life and experiences. We would never judge you. Be true to yourself no matter what others say/think. You are loved as a human being. 😘

[@sandyc9466]

Honestly, thank you for posting this. I'm just a teenager but I'm going through a rather rough situation involving dependancy on people as well, so thank u dad for spreading your wisdom to the youth

[@TheGazeLove]

I really admire and respect you. It really takes a lot of courage to talk about such things on KZbin for the whole world to see. And, I totally understand how it is. The love. The reliance. The fear of being alone. If anytime you want to talk about all the other stuff, I'm sure all your fans out there will definitely accept you for who you are. Besides, everyone makes mistakes. It's what you do about it that makes you different from the rest. Plus, the most important thing is that you're happy with your life right now.

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

I wish I could give you a big hug... I’ve been through some bad relationships and it’s still hard to get through the break up stage... I just hope you and satoshi are ok??? You talked about a few past relationships but I’m kinda worried because you didn’t say you guys were ok???? Praying all is well... hugs and more hugs!

[@kathleenanne7868]

I have some worries about how things are going there...

[@amber2211betts]

The demons of our past like to follow us and whisper hateful things in our ears. They tell us things that make us lose hope, and make us do destructive things. You are taking away the power of those demons by being honest with yourself and with others. You should be proud of the person that you are today. You've overcome so much, and you have countless people who love and care for you!

[@kenziedayne4234]

I know this is old so commenting is a bit pointless, but I just had to. I can relate to absolutely everything you said. This is such a common experience. We're all connected in that way. Getting to the point where you decide to be your best self, not for anyone else but you, yet staying open to new possibilities IF they happen...is such a mature and freeing place to be. When others reject us, it's hard, but we need to remind ourselves that it doesn't mean there is something wrong with us. It means that person, at that point in their journey, isn't the right person for who and where we are in life, at this time. I'm so glad you realized that you are fine the way you are, and that you should be with someone who loves you as you are, not someone you have to change for. Love to you, and all others who have, are, or will experience this challenge. You are beautiful, inside and out.

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you 🙏

[@ladymurasaki370]

Shinichi-san you need to stay with Satoshi. Try not to think about the pass, everyone goes through bad times, not only you. We all have had bad relationships. You are a good person & your followers love you! 👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@poetryandpower263]

So easy to go off the deepend after bad things. I LOVE how you listen to your intuition like volunteering at the florist.

[@irenequidachay3609]

Shinichi..you touched these past loves of your life for a reason and the reason wasnt because of your needs but because you helped them immensely whether they know it or not and you look back and smile and think it was a beautiful life you've had and continue to give and not expect anything but your soul is free...free from selflessness! Love you Shinichi! From Guam.

[@alexbeyond7939]

You are such a strong and brave person to talk about vulnerability, loss, shame and guilt as openly as you did. It takes a lot of courage to talk from the heart without editing parts of the video out. You are one of the bravest and most compassionate human beings, and posting this video for everyone to see is an amazing act of strenght. Your community will always be here for you. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@AliceSympathy]

As an old reader of your blog; I always love your honest videos like this. You always have so much strength. Lots of hugs and love.

[@spasticsadcase]

It's his healing process. We shouldn't bury our past, only once we embrace it then can we move on and be happy. It's good that he has this great community to support him and offer our loving kindness. Good job being brave Shinichi :)

[@mindysmom6132]

OMGEEE! Like everyone else, I got so worried when reading the title. 😫 I’m so glad that you were able to stay strong-as hard as it was-to move forward after your difficult break-ups......I’m a firm believer that things happen for a reason. I’m happy that you feel safe with us, and feel comfortable enough to share your life. Know that, none of us are perfect. You’ve accomplished so much, and YOU SHOULD be proud! ❤️

[@tseno5582]

Shinichi.....thank you for being so honest & YOU!!!! We all go through break ups and just knowing others go through the same thing gives hope!!!! Aloha and God Bless!!!

[@kerouacstylex]

Thanks for sharing this, Shinichi. Your vulnerability is brave, and important. It encourages others to do the same, and get to know themselves better, and grow. Thank you!

[@bobbykim6224]

Shinichi I forgot to add that I'm so happy you made this video, because it shows how much you have grown and that you knpw yor worth. You have touched my heart. You and I are bout the same age, I have grown up in Honolulu, now live in HK. I can feel you, this is growth and healing. Do not change who you are, giving your heart to someone, and then someone also returns that love in droves...priceless

[@b.w.5677]

Ah I’m so sorry to hear that you had to go through such painful break ups. There’s nothing worse than being so in love, but not receiving that same love back. It hurts even more for us people that are so sensitive and who give everything in a relationship :( I’m glad you were able to find yourself again and move forward!

[@heatherpainter9570]

My girlfriend killed herself while I was in jail. She didn't know I was arrested. She got a hold of me on facebook two months before she died. ......I took much time to heal from that. I was in there for 18 months. I believe she thought I left her. I still cry some days. Thank you for sharing your stories. Be safe. Loved and open up.

[@jasonfanclub4267]

why were you in jail? wtf.

[@markcoycoyescueta6922]

I am amazed at you sharing this to the world my broddah.. Always take care of Satoshi in the same way he takes care of you.. I hope I get to meet you both in Tokyo..I hope. You are an inspiration!!

[@kennethchan400]

Just happened to visit few of your videos recently and somewhat found them pretty inspirational and educational in some ways. I subscribed to your site after watching this one. You are one unique youtuber I have seen so far for a Japanese who speaks flawless English and not afraid of sharing personal sensitive stories! Not for the Typical kinda Japanese I know. You definitely nailed it and keep your charming videos coming! Thumbs UP!

[@lmaree200886]

Shinichi actually grew up in Hawaii, hence his American accent and fluent English!

[@TheKatyQ]

Hugs and much love! It’s a hard lesson we have to learn in life and a little part of us never fully recovers, but along the way we do learn to love ourselves and that’s good.

[@Shokupan982]

Breakups feel like such a negation of oneself. Ugh, I experienced heartbreak a lot, and it's even worse if you’ve had a tough upbringing. Well, it's painful anyway. That’s all we can do is try to do our best, being mindful that life likes to throw potholes our way. I'm so proud of what you’ve accomplished. Sending you lots of love and hugs.

[@elizabeth5193]

I love what you're saying here, when you say you are determined to become the best version of yourself, it sounds like you are well on the way to truly loving yourself, and loving yourself is just as important if not moreso than loving someone else. I hope you taking the risk to be authentic and vulnerable in the way you've done here in this video brings good things. Thank you!

[@buckleyyung7949]

It’s ok to revisit the difficulties from time to time...those painful memories will just pop up every so often and you can just let your emotions run their course. You just have to pull yourself through. You and Satoshi are so lucky to have each other. Your online family are here for you. Hugs hugs and more hugs!

[@lucianaborinato2993]

Thank you for a great, honest and inspirational video, and for open your heart, showing the real and vulnerable you, I love you even more for it Shinichi. Please do not blame yourself for what has happened in the past, as life, the Universe, or whatever you want to call it, sends us people and situations, to teach us lessons, in order to grow, and became better people. Nothing happens by chance, it all happens for a reason my friend. Let me applaud you, for being so wise, and for your integrity. Please reach out to me, if you need to talk, and if you'll ever come to London, I'll be so honoured to meet you. Keep strong and forgive yourself, it's the only way, you'll be able to move on. Much love and a big hug. ♡♡♡

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you. I appreciate that.

[@lucianaborinato2993]

@@Shinichisworld you're most welcome, and many thanks for your reply! :)

[@isaacrussel]

Don’t have to be sorry. Better to share what you need to rather than keeping it all bottled up. I can relate to almost everything you said from the break up, moving on parts and also seeking advises that doesn’t help that much. I pray that you’re happy now and forever, Shinichi.

[@NikkigandCo]

omg my heart literally broke when I read this title.. I have grown such a fondness for both of you separately but even more so together.. I will say though..we assume that you two are happy together etc but we obviously don't see what goes on of camera.. so don't ever stay with anyone to please other ppl.. but i'm so so glad you guys are ok.

[@pierscolegate6796]

THAT was absolutely visceral yet amazing to listen to. And for a couple of times, I thought you were about to 'lose' it. That was incredibly emotive to listen to! actually, it felt really painful! And the really nice part of your talk, was the really upbeat, positive vibe you left with your audience, and that was a great thing to listen to. High five to you for sharing your experiences.

[@annestatland1652]

Shinichi - one of the hardest things to go through is a breakup that is out of left field, especially when you think it is the "one" - another thing many of us go through. I went through a breakup like that, but that particular individual had already taught me that you have to be vulnerable to be loved and to love. Just know, you are not alone in your feelings.

[@missmaryh6932]

I'm so glad that you are well now and are intent on investing in yourself. Take care you will always be capable of incredible and happy times ahead. Never give up you are dynamic and real. God bless you x

[@donnamikasa]

Each time you go through a breakup, you'll get stronger and wiser and you'll be able to cope better. Your friend had the best suggestion when he said not to lose yourself, just be YOU. I'm glad you have a strong support system of family and friends who love you and care about you. Thank you for sharing and take care of yourself!

[@sheilawonders264]

Dear Shinichi, You are so brave. Sweets and I have been watching your reviews with Satoshi for over a year. We thank you for your education and dedication to making a smart and delicious looking program. The point is not mute. We've all been there. Thank you for being an inspiration to others. I hope you had a good year, friend. Love, Sheila.

[@mrmonty86]

Telling these stories about past relationships is an excellent learning tool to be helpful in present relationships.

[@StraightUpEats]

Oh my god, Shinichi! You almost gave me a heart attack! I'm so relieved to hear that it wasn't with Satoshi! But yes my friend, relationships are difficult and breaking up is even more difficult. It's always hard to say goodbye to someone, especially when you've shared such a huge part of your life with them. Time heals, but not completely and those burdens and pains are things that we tend to carry with ourselves, whether we know it or not. It's easier said than done, but accepting and letting go of the past is the best we can do for ourselves. "I'm not perfect" None of us are, my friend. And like you said, the best thing we can do, not just for the people in our lives, but for ourselves is to hold our head up high and be the best version of ourselves. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and know that you're not alone. We are all along this journey with you, to be the best version of ourselves.

[@51941028]

No one is perfect; it's what makes us human and unique. We should be true to ourselves, not to the expectations of others. Past experiences can be very painful but they can be helpful and insightful...as long as you don't wallow in "what ifs" or the "should'ves". Shinichi, you seem to have a healthier perspective on your life and I'm very happy for you.

[@chiprbob]

Glad this is about your past and not about you and Satoshi. I understand where you are coming from. My parents split when I was a kid. It's a long story but I was raised by my father. He was a volatile and abusive person. I've been through the breakup thing a few times. I even tried the "go out and get laid" thing to try to get over a breakup but it's not me. I'm getting old and I'm single. I get too invested in a relationship and wind up going through hell after it ends. My last breakup was the last.

I know the struggle, I was talking on twitter about exes today, and I felt so heart warmed when I saw that Demi Lovato's ex keep visiting her on rehab, that is so sweet! and made me feel so emotional! And remembering all of my exes, I hate them for making my life miserable after the broke up, I tried for years to be friends and all I got was indiference and politeness. Screw them, I deleted all of them from my life, social media etc...feels much better now

[@ChelseaCherryblossom]

Thank you so much for your honesty! I´ve been through an ugly break up i haven´t fully recovered from and the ending of your video really helped me a lot. To become a wonderful and much better version of yourself is probably the best thing anyone can do, no matter the situation and it´s something i want to do as well. I wish you lots of joy and happiness along your way!

[@NgaireandLucyTravel]

Thank you for sharing your honesty. It takes such courage and bravery to face our true feelings about our personal journeys, and how to find that 'true happiness'. It hurts when our wisdom is gained by having our hearts broken, but how beneficial it is to be in a clear space to see where we could be more autonomous within our relationships, yet still allow our hearts to truly fall in love without that fear and vulnerability. I can truly relate to your story as at 43 i've experienced similar feelings. I' m at the independence stage learning to fully enjoy being single and appreciating this world with or without a partner by my side. Hello from Australia!

[@candelariosaenziii2729]

I just recently saw this video and it really spoke to me, I think as a gay man it is so difficult and while the new generation of LGBTQ have a new mind set, I'm still stuck in the old mind set where i dont know how to meet anyone new. Actually, like you said in the video if you don't want to do something then don't and that's what I've been doing and i feel so much happier. Not to be TMI but the last guy was straight and so conflicted and i dont know if I should even label it as a relationship but it kinda was. Idk I'm just rambling now but your video did put me at ease about how I'm carrying myself and its ok to take things at my pace and feel the things i feel. Anyway, thanks...this video really was necessary.

[@martinfengzhang1936]

Every time when I see your video on this channel beside tabieats, i appreciate you more. Cuz nowadays, most of people would not like to share their experience and stories to public and to strangers. Although, your uploads on this channel sometimes seem a bit depressing, to be honest lol but i still very admire your bravery to open yourself to your viewers and your experience gives lots of life tips. The genuine feeling is what i feel like lots of KZbinrs are missing.

[@Amphybun]

[@46585]

After hearing about Spudgy passing this morning I thought you and Satoshi broke up, thank god you didn’t because I don’t know how much more bad news I could take 😪.

[@joannegray5138]

We all go through life making mistakes and bad decisions - it's what makes us human. Each mistake and bad decision makes us stronger and wiser and forms our personalities. These other relationships were clearly not meant to be. Fate was saving you for when Satoshi came into your life. You two are so right together - like two sides of the same coin. You make each other whole and your personalities and obvious love for one another is plain to see with every video you put on You Tube

[@candicepittman8480]

I feel ya! Breaking up is the absolute worst... you nailed it on the head w/ everything you said. Love ya...!!

[@bobbykim6224]

I also went through the same process, but in hindsight I found that I have to love myself first and I then could then give 100% to the person in my life. Its easier said then done, because as you said Shinichi we are Human, we have feelings, emotions, but end of the day we have to find ourself, and love ourself for the healing within us.. We have to to know our worth. There is nothing wrong in giving your heart 100%, but also save some for yourself. Relationships are hard, you may have someone who is from a different culture, background, than yourself, maybe a language barrier, I learned in my life to put yourself in the other persons shoes, be open minded, be sensitive to the feelings, in turn they will do the same.

[@laciminder8718]

It's nice to know I'm not the only one that has been really desperate when having your heart broken...it makes me feel kind of pathetic that I cared so much for people that didnt care about me, but it also taught me that I'm alot stronger than I thought I ever could be 😊

[@gloriarios2926]

First of all none of us could judge you or anybody for that matter. You are authentically you now and that is who we love. I can relate to the thinking that you couldnt live without somebody and now i see that it was the worst kind of toxic relationship. I have my two daughter that helped me find myself. Thank you for opening up your life to us, it makes us know that you are real and authentic.

[@jaderoush6017]

I was thinking about a lot of things you’ve said as I read the comments and just want to say ... While it would be super sad if you and Satoshi broke up ... 1. That relationship doesn’t define you, and we’re still here for you if that ever happens. And 2. Some warning in the title might have been nice, don’t worry too hard on that. We’re here to hear you, so say whatever you need to however you need to. Just thought that I’d say something, as I feel the pressure must suck sometimes. Thanks for sharing your struggle and solutions. It’s super brave if you, to own up to how you handled things wrong and share your vulnerability. Relationships are hard and being genuine in a relationship is doubly hard.

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you. I appreciated you comment.

[@biancabee7900]

I panicked with the title also. We all go through bad relationships, it's how we learn. You have to date the rubbish to appreciate the gems. You and Satoshi are perfect for each other. He is a gem (what I can see on the videos). I love you guys together. Wishing you many years of happiness and love xxxx 😘🌹. Love your videos. Thank you.

[@reversuelinteo]

I think the one thing that each break up has taught me is a little more about myself and who I am as a person... it's like suddenly you have no choice but to use your perspective of yourself instead of relying on someone else's perspective of you..

[@tigpscst1043]

thank you for sharing...i had the same experience when I broke up more than 3 years ago...mess up, terrible etc...i was not tried to ignore that feeling, i tried to feel and digest all of sorrow moment which led me to get some understanding about my self and LOVE...and Im happy about, at the end, how you way you face this issue, focus on build our self to become better person...

Always be yourself and don’t beg on anything. If they leave you that means they don’t deserve you. You are a great person you will have your loved one who value you

[@flavavicious]

Not sure why YT recommended this particular video, but I’m glad it did. There are definitely inspirational words in here. I’m not in a relationship at the moment, but I totally feel it. I’ve been in toxic relationships where I’ve lost myself and gave too much when I got so little. Thank you for sharing even though I’m a few years late. LOLOL EDIT: Geez, 14:18 got me choked up. Such great words. 🥹

[@lovethatdragon2984]

Never apologize for having feelings or needing to talk about something. All that we've been through; the good, the bad, and the ugly, makes us who we are. You've been through some tough times, but it's helped to make you the man you are today. Revisiting the past can be a good thing, because you can take those moments and learn from them with insights that you have today. Stay strong and keep your head up. Much love and light from me to you.

[@hypnotika]

It's all a part of your own personal journey. I was in a similar spot a couple of years back, it took a while to heal, a while to stop thinking about whether he'd like that, or reaching for the phone to share something funny with him, but I realised after so many years it was time to be selfish. Time to look after me for a while. That's the advice I give to anyone coming out of a long-term relationship: be selfish, look after yourself. Heal. Do whatever you want to do without restraint. The number one priority is you, and make no apologies for it; your future relationship will start off in a much better place when you feel ready to move on completely.

[@Zoe-zj6jq]

No one is perfect it doesn't matter how many mistakes we make we all learn of our mistakes and makes us grow, don't ever put yourself down for nobody be proud of yourself and love who ever you want, it is a fall and rise in this life for everyone regardless of gender and who we fall in love with.

[@pixlanim8r]

Shinichi-san, Love is a journey filled with happiness, pain, and mutual respect. I’ve had my fair share of heartache, but it makes finding that 1 special person that much more rewarding. It’s okay to feel regret and sorrow, especially when the wound is still fresh. But with time, support from friends and family, the wound heals. Getting it out of your system also helps a great deal, and I commend you for your bravery in sharing these difficult moments with us. It’s virtually impossible for most people to do so. Instead, most people would try to bury the pain, and hide it from even their closest friends/family. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Please remember that if someone doesn’t appreciate you, they don’t deserve you. Being a good person doesn’t mean you have to put up with other people’s crap. I wish you continued success and happiness in 2019!! 😎🍻

[@Ko1962315]

When i saw this notification, I was about to cry, like Noooo!, not you and Satoshi. Then I kept listening and I have to be honest, I'm still not sure if you two are still together or not. It sounded like past tense, then it sounded current and I thought if he's in a happy relationship why post something from the past? I hope you guys are ok. Breakups are very hard. They really can weigh on the mind but I do love your positive outlook.

This was beautiful! So raw, open and pure! Thank you, Shinichi-san!

[@geekyariel]

Life is tough... but I'm glad you found Satoshi!

My mother used to tell me all of our life experiences are either a building block or a stepping stone. Adversity, trauma, euphoria, etc do not rule who you are, but lead you down a path you walk over with little recognition or you build upon. Recognizing you still have unresolved issues with your past is not weakness. It shows how much you've grown in character. That you can go back an analyze what you have become now and how you can avoid certain circumstances moving forward, is growth. I appreciate you sharing your vulnerability, because not many people can be so bold & brave. Big hugs sweet Shinichi. Stay strong and always pushing hard to be the best you that you can be, for yourself. Self love is just as important as being a selfless partner.

Oh man. I just started watching your videos recently, and I sort of stumbled upon your older postings. This one made me cry - but in a good way. I am so sorry you have gone through heartbreak in your life (we're about the same age, I think; I'll be 54 at the end of August as of this post) and I admire how you have taken the pain of losing someone you loved and converted it into the conviction to be the best version of yourself you can be, going forward. Even if you are alone (which, by the time I'm watching your videos, that is not the case - you have Satoshi-san in your life! Yay!! He's such a great person!). I'm kind of in a similar place, in that I lost the person I loved and wanted to build a life with, but I lost him to health problems in 2017 - 30 years of cigarette smoking and recreational cocaine use will damage your heart and kill you before you turn 50, kids, so don't do it, okay? I don't know if I will ever find someone who I could feel that way about again; I try not to lose hope but it's difficult. So in the meantime I've decided to just keep trying to be a better version of myself, and if I find someone to love me - great. If not - that's okay too, because I have a wonderful network of friends who love me and I have my kittyboy (I've had pets my entire life except for 8 months in 2022, and that was the loneliest 8 months of my life - I will never be without my furry companions again) so I'll be okay. Thank you for sharing your heart and soul on your channel. :bows deeply:

I really admire your strength and resilience. Good people tend to get abused, because we trust so easily. And then our trust gets stomped on. But you’ve not only survived, you’ve thrived, and now you’re helping others and inspiring them to be better too. 👍 Congratulations and thank you, Shinichi. p.s. "I'm not a perfect human being" - No one is, and no one here expects you to be. Making mistakes is part of life. All you can do is learn from them, and that you've certainly done. :)

[@marikouchiwa4093]

This video was very authentic Shinichi and of course you can always, ALWAYS come to us if you need anything :) Stay safe and keeps being happy, for us, for Satoshi, for you love one but mostly and most importantly for you ❤

[@Sidb2010]

When you said you become vulnerable and dependent when you let your walk down I can completely relate. I never thought about it but you definitely helped me with this video and I feel a lot more connected to you. Thank you for this

I came out of a bad situation a year ago and while at the time I loved him and thought things were great and thought is always be with him, I realize now how much damage I had caused to myself staying in the relationship and it will take a long time for me to repair myself. I have ptsd and anxiety problems which makes splitting up so much more difficult. But doing what is best for yourself no matter how hard or how bad you feel is necessary because when you do find a great person you'll be you and not the mental illness part of you and they will get to see and live you for who you are and not the damage someone caused❤

[@emalinel]

Thank you for sharing your experience, Shinichi. I've been through a few long-term relationships myself and I know that recovering from those sudden breakups is never easy. I mean wondering about the "could have dones" never quite goes away. But I try. I try to think more about my personal growth and how that even though that relationship ended poorly it was something that made me change how I viewed myself and carry myself today. And I'm glad that you are today too :)

[@Tambryl]

This - your heart was in this, you were so real, on a very personal & relatable level. I was sad thinking it was about you & Satoshi, very glad it's not. Best advice ever - be the very best version of yourself

[@andreaj6524]

Sweet heart. You do not have to he perfect.. it is ok to make mistakes.. we need to love and lose love as it teaches us important things. Focus on now.. be proud of the lessons you have learned.. and take one day at a time... ❤

[@lorrie-annelauano]

Don't dwell in the past. Look at the blessings in your life now. Those past relationships is what shaped you into the person you are today. You are blessed to have found true love. Leave the past in the past. Good luck. Aloha from Utah!💝

[@drewsfoodreviews]

Thanks for sharing such a tough subject glad you could move on and find someone else eventually your a very brave guy I admire your courage and the fact you overcame the sadness

[@Ralesk]

Scary title and topic, but glad there's nothing bad going on now :) I'm not sure what to say otherwise, but I for one really enjoy your authenticity and honesty when it comes to these heavy stuff.
