Release Date: January 20, 2026

B6 paperback, 180 pages

When you can't do what you want, when your environment isn't what you hoped for, when you can't accept yourself as you are, when you hear things you don't want to hear, or say them yourself. Even so, you have no choice but to keep swimming. Getting hurt little by little, hurting others little by little. —From the "Introduction"


Aiming for "Shigodeki" but taking leave. Love and hate for both hometown and Tokyo. Marriage and the choice not to have children...


Is "You don't have to try so hard" really true?

What does "take care of yourself" even mean?

Would returning home make me happier?


For those of my generation grappling with such questions,

a writer overwhelmingly supported by women in their 30s sends this rallying cry to us all, struggling to survive.


Includes the 2024 Creative Writing Award (note-sponsored) finalist entry, "My Grandmother's Poetry Collection"!

Through rough waves with the doggy paddle

やりたいようにできなかったり、望んだ環境じゃなかったり、そのままの自分を認められなかったり、言われたくないことを言われたり、言ったり。それでも、泳いでいくしかないのだ。少しずつ傷ついたり傷つけたりしながら。――「はじめに」より

「シゴデキ」を目指すも休職。地元と東京への愛と憎。結婚と産まない選択……。

「がんばらなくていいよ」って本当?
ご自愛って、結局なんなんだ?
地元に戻ったほうが幸せなのか?

そんな疑問を抱きつつ過ごす同世代に読んでほしい、
いま30代女性から圧倒的支持を集める書き手が送る、もがきながらサバイブする私たちへのエール。

創作大賞2024(note主催)入選作「祖母の歌集」を収録!

【目次】
はじめに 

祖母の歌集 
東京への憧憬 
婚活と記号 
シゴデキのジレンマ 
二つの空白 
「がんばらなくていいよ」という嘘 
「スロー」でも「キラキラ」でもないライフ 
「移住婚」はしたけれど 
イオンになっていく田舎で 
盆にくるおばさん 
身銭と身の丈 
かぼちゃを棄てる 
さよならモンスター 
結婚するなら何も奪わない人 
じゃあ一体、誰が皿を洗うのか 
清水買いカルティエと偽ティファニー 
狂ったハムスター人生 
猫型配膳ロボット未満 
口座残高リアルフェイス 
「いつか着たい素敵な服」の力 
コンビニとマツキヨが呼んでいる 
ご自愛と界隈 
正しさパンチ 
君と私の無事に乾杯 
センセーショナル(?)な叫びがありふれた言葉になるまで 
「自分もやってみる」までの遠回り 
荒波もバタ足で
