Is fortune-telling also common or believed in other countries? 気になるのですが、占いは他の国でも一般的だったり、信じられていたりしますか？ **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250820/0/152492555/0/0/16158854-1807-4d3c-a1d2-08d14d6fcdaa.aac) *6 likes · 6 comments · 230 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/pGXGFULjxlTNHD.md) --- ## 8. 8/19/2025 I feel like I need to figure out what truly matters to me. わたしは、自分にとって本当に大切なことが何かを理解する必要があると感じています。 Who is important to me, what kind of time is precious, and what beliefs I want to hold on to. わたしにとって大切なのは誰なのか、どんな時間がかけがえのないものなのか、そしてどんな信念をわたしは大切にしていたいのか。 If I can become clear about those things, I think I’ll be able to let go of some of the problems I’m facing now. もしわたしが、それらのことについてはっきりすることができたなら、今直面しているいくつかの問題を手放すことができると思います。 **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250819/0/152492555/0/0/4709d524-2c93-45e1-a2a2-9da2aa0aab0c.aac) *8 likes · 168 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/FEtbLWxTuyPNHD.md) --- ## 9. 8/18/2025 I went to a hot spring today with my sister.♨️ 今日は妹と一緒に温泉に行きました。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 More than going into the bath with her, 一緒にお風呂に入ることよりも、 　　　 I felt nervous just because she invited me.🙂 妹に誘われたこと自体に緊張してしまいました。 　　　 I can’t help but be considerate, even with my own family. わたしは家族に対してさえ、つい気を遣ってしまうんです。 But the hot spring felt really nice.😌🌸 でも、温泉は本当に気持ちよかったです。 **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250818/0/152492555/0/0/1d0c48aa-70a8-47bb-ba11-3622cb8e2c63.aac) *11 likes · 2 comments · 165 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/pcBLPURKHVyjHD.md) --- ## 10. 8/17/2025 I’ll cherish who I am right now and fully live this moment. 💃✨ 今の自分を大切にし、この瞬間を余すことなく生きる。 I don’t need to be more. もっと何かになる必要はない。 Just be here, and fully be me.🫶🏻 ただここにいて、ありのままの自分でいる。 **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250817/0/152492555/0/0/3998de2b-8dc5-4f1c-9e4d-1d379f1aa613.aac) *8 likes · 126 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/RaE5pMAaENyjHD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/wo_evelin31/moments.md) [Back to Haruka はるか's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/wo_evelin31.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
