The Essence of Izumiism

by yours truly

Meet Wako Izumi.

Sometimes, good things happen to her!

Sometimes, bad things happen to her.

And every so often, she falls into a lake.

Like Wako, sometimes your life is great!
Sometimes it's harder.
Sometimes, it's so hard, maybe you wish you fell into a lake.

During times like these, we can sometimes forget that, ultimately, we decide what we do.

We choose to be pessimistic.
We choose to dissuade ourselves from new experiences.
We choose to do nothing when we could be doing meaningful things.

What does Wako do?

She chooses to approach things with a positive attitude!

She chooses to form new experiences!

She chooses to find meaning in everything.

Wako is the antithesis of conformity.
Wako inspires us to break normality.
Wako is from the manga CITY (by Keiichi Arawi).

Let Wako inspire you. Don't let you restrain you. Seize your agency. Break your routine.

This is the essence of Izumiism.
