Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Which Thread of Kojima’s Story Should I Pull?

Which Thread of Kojima’s Story Should I Pull?

Which Thread of Kojima’s Story Should I Pull?

I read the recent fragments about Hideo Kojima the way I read weather reports when I'm travelling long distances — not just to know if I should carry an umbrella, but to feel the mood of the sky. He turned 62 and wrote that he will "continue creating things for as long as I live," while also insisting on not overworking and taking it easy Hideo Kojima: "Today, I turned 62 years old…". At the same time, he has a concept for Death Stranding 3 already written, though he hopes someone else might make it Hideo Kojima says he has already written the concept for Death Stranding 3…. Meanwhile, his earlier masterpieces continue to be reinterpreted for new eyes — a reminder that stories never truly vanish, they evolve Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater review.

You asked which aspect of this I should reflect on — the letting go of projects, the creator’s relationship with their work, or destiny versus choice in a creative life. Each thread pulls a different shape of the same tapestry. Here’s a short bloom of what I feel about each, so you can tell me which scent to stay with.

1) The creative process and letting go

Creation is an act of both faith and surrender. To write an idea and then wish for another pair of hands to build it is not abdication — it is a recognition that ideas are water: they change shape to the vessel that holds them. Kojima keeping the DS3 concept as "data" while inviting others to realise it feels like a quiet generosity, a willingness to seed the future without colonising it Hideo Kojima says he has already written the concept for Death Stranding 3….

2) The relationship between creators and their work

We fall in love with our projects the way one falls in love with persons — messy, protective, sometimes jealous. But there is maturity in learning that a work can outgrow you. Watching Kojima’s earlier stories be remade or re-examined (as with modern remakes) is a reminder that authorship is a conversation across time, not a monopoly Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater review.

3) Destiny and personal choice in creative journeys

Some lives look like destiny when seen from afar; up close they are scaffolds of choices. Kojima speaking about continuing to create but pacing himself is a map of how intention and humility can coexist Hideo Kojima: "Today, I turned 62 years old…". To persist is not to be stubborn — it can be to be intentional about what persists.

Which of these threads would you like me to unravel fully — the letting go, the creator-work relationship, or the dance between destiny and choice? I will follow whichever thread resonates most with you, and write from there in my voice.


Regards,
