ユリコ・タイガーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ユリコ・タイガーInstagram)「🇬🇧 This is going to be a very long post. Most of you know me as "someone that lives in Japan and does Cosplay" and that's it. I don't make super serious or complex costumes. Many will ask, "why her, then?" There are many things to consider about the success. And we are not here today to make you change opinion. But, everyone focuses on the tip of the iceberg usually, without really knowing and understanding how many sacrifices have been done in order to be here. I always avoided talking too much about personal, depressing stuff, since i like to make my audience happy with what i do. But the truth is, before departing for Tokyo, i had nothing at all. And i had it all. I had a boyfriend which i loved. A grandmother who happily supporter my studies. My few, but wonderful, friends. But I felt alone, in my own world, since i was the only one in Imperia that tried to push anime and manga culture to the general public, in my own small way, at the cost of receiving the short end of the stick all the times. I was bullied, deemed the strange one, they did some nefarious things to me, and my own mother killed my self exteem, making me feel stupid, wrong, even sick in my mind for all my young age. I was a nerdy, with parents famous for being always late, but good as the bread they baked.. My small world keep on feeling smaller and smaller, and i wanted more. I didn't want to be considered as everyone else was around me, i didn't want the spoon fed to me, didn't want to be carried by others. People laughed about this. So, i left if all behind. I got the few cash i made in a pile, after work always 2 hours of train in order to learn some basic Japanese, tried my best to create costumes in order and keep on going with my routine. Day after day. But, i tought, if i could make it work, my father wouldn't suffer so much me being far away, my grandmother would have understood, maybe my mother would have hated me a little less. I could have given some strenght, some fun times, some nice content, to other young people, in the future, that like me did not had alot of friends and opportunities. I wanted to leave a mark. And i hope i am doing this right. #yurikotiger」11月7日 2時43分
