I’m putting off talking about this weekend again

Scenes

• I’m putting off talking about this weekend again — While eating dinner, you try to talk about this weekend’s plans, then reopen the day’s fortune first. As you keep choosing a date, the words keep getting delayed.
• Look at the mood around the table before the date — It may be less about worrying that it’s a bad day and more about checking the date first because you’re afraid the mood at the table will change once you bring it up.
• You set down your chopsticks and check again — At 7:30 p.m., you set down your chopsticks and turn on your phone. Wondering, “Is it okay to say it today?” you check the day’s fortune again.
• When the date takes the responsibility for speaking instead — An almanac is simply a reference for checking the day’s flow. It isn’t a chart that decides your family’s reaction or the words you’ll say.
• Write the opening sentence before checking the day’s fortune — Today, before opening the day’s fortune, try writing only the first sentence you want to say. You don’t have to send it. Once the sentence is there, the shape of what you want to say may become a little clearer.
• You can begin even on an ordinary day — Even if the hand choosing a date stops, the chance to speak doesn’t disappear. What was the first expression you saw on your family’s faces when you tried to bring it up?
