I was writing that in my native language (portuguese) and translated to english, but I'm not very good with that (Google Translate helped me in some parts). Could someone help correcting it for me, please?

"Two of us are having the same time and believing in the same future
Our tears yesterday and our smiles today are both true

Because we know the same pain, bring along the same tenderness
And change them into the strength to live on tomorrow"

I could pick out numerous snippets of lyrics for this project to support Ayu, but as time goes by, "progress" makes more and more sense. During difficult times, we must understand that the sum of all events in our lives are transformed into strength to take one step at a time (or, as she said some years later, "because our courage to step forward has more meaning than 100 steps" - "Step by step").

#TheWayWeAre is an online campaign celebrating Ayumi Hamasaki's 20-year career on the day of the release of her latest album, "TROUBLE". During these hard times, I think it's important @ayu_19980408 notice how her work impacted us.

I've been following her since I was a teenager (13 years ago!) and now I can identify with her thoughts even more, since we both became adults.

It is amazing to realize that I've created a bond with the work of someone you have never met in person, in a language that I do not master. It doesn't matter, 'cause certain feelings and thoughts surpasses language barriers. Happy 20th anniversary, Ayu!
