im always sewing but i dont know.... miwako has been in a rut designing lately (⇀‸↼‶)a
i finished this for alice-chan yesterday..
im sure she'll like it, and it'd probably be salable if i so choose, but..
it reminds me too much of my sister.
which is good!!! just.... it's still mikako. not miwako.

[ She attaches an image of a soft red tartan bell-shaped dress on a child-sized bodice, with a scalloped circle skirt, puff sleeves and peter pan collar. The room in the background, what little that can be seen of it, is a bit dazzling, though — the walls painted the palest pink, with myriad handpainted colorful flowers lining the bottoms like a little meadow. If Sokka looks closely, there's a silvery white rabbit barely seen in the corner of the frame. Even if Miwako doesn't seem proud of it, at least the picture has a nice visual impact. Looks like Valentine's Day in kindergarten. ]

give me a second, i'll watch something and lyk...!
thank you. yeah, i suppose that's it, though. something me.
the thing is— i know im unoriginal..... and that i don't have what it takes to be a designer on my own. i'm not a genius like my sister.
and i know sissy isn't here so i don't need to worry about anyone comparing us
no one here will know if i'm just a happy berry copycat kouda mikako wannabe, ha..
but i'll know. so i still want to stand on my own, nee?
she's not even in this world and i'm still in her shadow, heh.... (⸝⸝•́ ᗨ •̀⸝⸝;)ゞ
[ Wow, she may cover that up with a laugh and some cute emoji, but the way she rattles off these self-defeating statements as if they're concrete fact... No wonder she's feeling in a "rut." ]

i fought in a war. well, for me the war is still going on but for my sister it's already over. time is weird here you know.
you don't need to be a genius to be great!
a lot of people are still excellent at what they do even if they're not a genius.
you will succeed and make clothes that feel completely you one day, Miwako. i know you will. you just have to believe.
and if you don't believe in yourself, i'll believe in you for you.

back home, i know i can't succeed as a designer. thats why i wanna try what i can here!
but it's not so bad back home, it's not like i've given up on my dream or anything, nee?
my sister, mikako,
she's a famous fashion designer. she has her own successful clothing line called Happy Berry, all her boutiques sell only her designs, total control of her brand
she's amazing ☆
we went to the same arts high school, though, even had the same professors!! and the chairwoman of the fashion design department, hamada-sensei, has an excellent eye... she saw through me my freshman year. mostly cuz sissy and i look so alike, ha, but even from my designs.... she's drilled me so hard over the past three years, but no matter what, my designs just always end up looking like my sister's style... the fashion industry is too competitive and cutthroat for that lack of originality.
but my sister has always been my idol and i have lots of Happy Berry clothes in my own closet, it's my favorite brand not just because she's my sister~ ♥
so i guess i can't help it! (´꒳`;)a
but now that i'm graduating..... i got a job at Happy Berry waiting for me back home!!! (∗ᵕ̴᷄◡ᵕ̴᷅∗)՞
and it's not just connections....!! my sister is a very serious business woman, after all! ☆ she wouldnt hire me if i wasn't perfect for the job, like anyone else. my genius designer friend george pointed that out to me after graduation.
so it was then i realized i can actually be of help to my sister. no one knows Happy Berry as well as i do because i was raised in it!! my sister's eighteen years older than me, so even my childhood clothes were Happy Berry!
and that was a very fulfilling realization~ even though i can't be a designer living in her shadow, i'd rather be by her side involved in the art that's always inspired me most, with the person who's always inspired me most, y'know~? ♥ (⑅˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈ )
so maybe a better dream i never knew i had until it came true, hehe~ ☆
3/3
but thank you, sincerely ♥
sokkun is a good cheerleader hehe~ ( ´͈ ᵕ `͈ )♡.°
