Hi there,
It’s been a while!

I'm excited to share a few updates with you today. 😊

I've decided to restructure this Luna Plena account and focus on sharing only quotes here, while my illustrations will be posted on a new account: @yukim.paints. 🎨 If you enjoy my art, please consider following the new account!

✨ Illustration account: @yukim.paints

By separating these two projects, I hope to embrace a new level of creative freedom with my illustrations, while keeping this account as a calm and inspiring space dedicated to uplifting quotes. I hope to post quotes more regularly, but it may take a few more months to get into a steady routine here on Instagram. In the meantime, you can find more updates on my blog and Pinterest, where I’ve been more active:

🌐 Blog: lunaplena.co
📌 Pinterest: pinterest.com/lunaplenaco

Life has brought many changes recently. In March, I faced some health challenges, and shortly after, I decided to move back to Japan to be closer to my family as I raise my son. It took a bit of adjusting, but I’m finally settling in and looking forward to continuing my journey with both quotes and illustrations.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day! 🌸

The past two weeks have been rough. My son was sick and missed school for a week, and I've been dealing with a stubborn fatigue and migraine that Advil doesn't seem to help anymore. It's been frustrating feeling like every time I try to get motivated, something comes up to throw me off track. But I'm trying to stay positive and keep moving forward, even if it's just one tiny step at a time. As William James said, 'Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.'

Vibrant, radiant, empowered. Tomorrow's #InternationalWomensDay celebrates the unique grace and resilient strength within every woman. We rise together toward a world of boundless possibilities for all. I'm posting this early because it is already March 8th in Japan, where gender equality is still a huge problem. 　

日本では、教育において男女差なくほぼ平等であるにも関わらず、経済、そして政治参画についてのジェンダーギャップが先進国の中で著しく低いと言われています。日本で育った私は、男性と同等の扱いを受けないことに対して、そんなもの、しょうがないこと、と大して疑問に思ったりすつこともありませんでした。でも、平等を求めることはわがままではないと思うのです。私も別に何ができるわけではないのですが、そういうことについて考えてみる、意識してみると言うことは大事なのではないかと思ってます。（女性だけでなく、男性も。）

"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”

Today's quote by Andy Warhol really speaks to me.
When I try to make, paint, or draw something, I easily fall into a hole of doubt and feeling lost. Maybe this quote is the answer.

Just get it done.

The love Forrest Gump's mother gives to her son in the movie is so warm and unconditional. The mother was amazing, and so was the actress who played the role. Here's an amazing quote about self-acceptance by Sally Field.

"It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes."

Don't let others define your worth. Embrace your unique journey, flaws and all, and celebrate the beauty of being authentically you✨✨

"What is a small thing that makes you happy?
For me, a beautiful sunny day🥰

Embrace simple joys in life. Here is a beautiful inspirational life quote by Joan Bauer.

“You don’t need fancy things to feel good. You can hug a puppy. You can buy a can of paint and surround yourself with color. You can plant a flower and watch it grow. You can decide to start over and let other people start over too.”
