Meaning of Kuyashii · 7:20pm May 1st
"Kuyashii is that feeling after failure. Not that downtrodden feeling of being beaten and defeated, no. It's that feeling when you're dropped from the team at the last minute. It's what makes you slam your fist at the turf when you've missed a sitter. It's what makes grown men cry on the pitch after losing at the Champions League or World Cup finals. So close, could have done better. It's that feeling when your song sells so much better when someone else covers it. It's the taste of hard to accept defeat, because you know you had a shot and you came up short. Sometimes it's not even your fault. It's the taste of iron in your mouth when you're grounded for something your brother did. It's the lump in your throat when your professor publishes your research in his name. It's the fever behind your eyeballs when your crush marries your friend. It's your fist clenching your bank statement as you terminate that awesome game you're developing because you haven't got the funding. It's that feeling of wanting another shot. That wanting to be better, come back stronger. The wanting to win next time."
