    CHAPTER 07 / 08

    Every stage of life has its own pleasures.

    A woman in her 40s preparing for an evening out just for herself | Every stage of life has its own pleasures

    Back then, you were the person you were at that time. And now, there are pleasures you can appreciate precisely because of who you are today.

    Back then, you were the person you were at that time.

    The evenings when your heart fluttered as you went to meet someone.

    The clothes you chose to feel just a little more sophisticated.

    The time you spent with someone special.

    The moments when another person’s gaze made you feel quietly delighted.

    The times you fell in love, were loved, and found yourself drawn to someone.

    All of it is part of the journey that has led to the woman you are today.

    And now, with the passing of the years, there are pleasures you could not yet have known back then.

    What you truly like.

    What kind of time feels comfortable to you.

    Which words move your heart.

    How you like to be touched.

    What you find beautiful, and with whom—and how—you wish to spend your time.

    With every experience, the contours of who you are become a little clearer.

    Life is always made up of many different stages.

    And each stage surely has its own way of being enjoyed.

    In your 20s, certain things moved you precisely because you were in your 20s.

    In your 30s, there were things you could understand only after reaching that decade.

    And in your 40s, there are pleasures you can savour precisely because of where you are now.

    A beauty different from that of your younger years.

    The composure that comes with experience.

    The freedom to spend your time and money on yourself.

    “This is the kind of time I love.”

    And the ability to honour your feelings more thoughtfully than before.

    Is that not another wonderful gift the passing years have brought you?

    Discover pleasures that suit who you are now.

    OPUS thoughtfully creates the kind of time you wish to choose for yourself today.

    CHAPTER 02 / 08

    People find themselves hardest to understand.

    A woman in her 40s quietly looking at herself in the mirror | People find themselves hardest to understand

    Even as time passes quietly, the “me” within remains one continuous self.

    It is curious how the changes within ourselves are often the hardest to notice.

    Precisely because we look in the mirror every morning, it can be difficult to see the difference between yesterday and today.

    Age is much the same.

    From our 20s to our 30s.

    From our 30s to our 40s.

    Time passes quietly.

    Yet the “me” within does not suddenly become someone else one morning.

    When you were younger, men asked you out.

    They took you to dinner.

    You fell in love.

    Someone cherished you.

    You were treated as someone a little special.

    There were men who made time in their schedules for you.

    You may have memories like these.

    Just as you once naturally drew attention and were treated as someone a little special, women newly turning 22 are now having their turn.

    Time passes equally for everyone.

    Just as new flowers bloom when spring arrives, a new generation of women comes of age each year.

    And you, too, once had a spring like that.

    Every moment of being loved, laughing and feeling your heart flutter has become part of the woman you are today.

    Perhaps that is precisely why it is so difficult to see ourselves objectively.

    Within us, the person we were in our 20s, our 30s and our 40s continues as one unbroken “me.”

    Age is also the passage of time that gradually changes the scenery of our lives.

    And perhaps the pleasures that suit that scenery also change little by little.

    Time that feels right for who you are now.

    You can take your time and begin by sharing how you feel now.
