ハロートークで素直にWould you be my friend? (友達になってくれませんか) とか Let's be

friends (仲良くなりましょう)と書いている方が割と大勢いるようです。

It seems like there are quite a few people who write straightforward things like Would you be my friend? or Let's be friends here on Hello Talk.

このような素直で飾らない言葉がもっと日常生活の中でも言えるのならばきっともっと気楽に生きられる世の中になるんだろうと思います。

I think the world would be a lot easier to live in feeling at ease if people were able to say these kinds of words, frankly and without superficiality in daily life, too.

ここでこのような言葉を見掛ける度に感動するし、温かい気持ちになります。笑みが溢れるし、いいね！って思います。

Whenever I come across such words here, I am always moved and it's heartwarming for me. A smile crosses my lips, and I think, Ah, how good.

大人になるに連れて、強がりを覚え、弱さを見せちゃいけないと、色々と世間体を繕うことを覚えてしまうけれども本当の強さって言うのは平気で自然体で居られることだと思います。

As we grow up, we learn to put up a front or that we can't show weakness; we learn how to keep up appearances. I feel, however, that true strength is being able to be oneself naturally and be at ease.

それは本当の自信の証拠なんじゃないのかなと、そう思われます☆

It seems to me that that demonstrates true confidence
