Exchange

What does it mean for you to let go of your favorite vehicle, such as a car or motorcycle?
What do you think?
Cases where there is a sudden breakup due to circumstances.
There are many different situations, such as when switching to a new car.
Some people think it's just a machine or a lump of iron.
My feelings were so strong that I rode alone on the last day.
Some people might cry...
I'm more of the latter.
I've never cried, but I love things
It's really sad when you let go.
This happened when I changed bikes before.
As I look forward to the delivery day, I suddenly feel sad.
I remember feeling anxious.
It was terrible when it came to the last day to trade it in.
When you get closer to your destination, you slow down or feel like changing trains.
I end up regretting what I thought. This is a selfish story.

When I had to trade another sewing machine.

My own, which could last a lifetime depending on its maintenance.
A familiar sewing machine and a unique sewing machine that has been repeatedly maintained and adjusted.
I had never thought about replacing it.
The night before the exchange, I felt an inseparable feeling.
It's already been decided, and there's nothing I can do about it.
It is said that "things have a soul," but for the sake of the next person who will use them.
I think it's not good to leave too many feelings on things, so I clean them with gratitude.
I decided to welcome the last day with ease.

Now, a new employee is using the sewing machine next to me.
And the person I am currently using is also my master.
It was used by a craftsman who retired last year.

The size of the table is the largest among the sewing machines in the factory, which is also unique.
Compared to the sewing machine next to it, it is about 30cm longer in width and 10cm longer in height.
Perhaps feeling inconvenienced by its size, he grabbed a circular saw and
I can see a craftsman trying to cut the table.
People around me panicked and stopped...
Large tables take up space but are easier for me to use
I am now quite used to this sewing machine.
