>Submissions
Though forms were only open for a little while, Okayu has over a thousand submissions. People have submitted worries or problems of theirs, and Okayu will try and give them advice. I've included most of them, but they're obviously shortened by a lot.

>"My classmates keep swiping food from my lunch!"
First of all, have confidence in your cooking skills to be so popular, then steal food back from them. If they complain, tell them that those who eat others food must be prepared to have their food eaten as well. Okayu seems like the type who would swipe food? Nope, she's the food trading type.

>"I'm not progressing in my work lately. Do you know a good way to get motivated?"
She gets this question all the time in these type of streams. Does she look like a highly-motivated person? She does? Well she doesn't think it's such a big deal. It's less motivation, and more the feeling of looking at the date she has to start working on something in order to finish it in time. Try seeting up dates to give yourself that sense of when you have to put your all into something or risk failure. Make a plan to avoid getting yourself too stressed out while you try to catch up though. As for working on hobbies, Okayu still likes drawing in her free time. She thinks it helps to look at art or other works that you like. Doesn't it make you want to try too? How to keep the motivation? Well work is work, so that's not too hard. As for hobbies, try thinking about why you got into it in the first place, what you wanted to do. People get into hobbies because they want to, after all. She's done the same though process with her and why she loves streaming. It might be easy to lose motivation if you try and force yourself to do something. Think of it like medicine; you need to take it, but there's certain textures and flavors that might be hard for the individual to swallow. It's important to get your motivation into the right shape for you yourself.

>"I'm a middle school girl, but I'm a gachikoi for Okayu. Is it okay for a girl to be gachikoi?"
Of course it is! Okayu's happy to be liked. Boys and girls, it's all fine for her. Old men? Absolutely! From kids to the elderly, Okayu wants to treasure all her fans.

>"How do I find the motivation to put effort into learning drawing?"
This one's similar to the earlier one, so Okayu re-stresses the point of thinking why you draw, and trying to return to the original positive state you were in when you first started. There's definitely days when you might get sad or frustrated, and feel lost or stuck, or maybe you look at others who can put in so much effort and make amazing things. These days happen, but it's important to not be too hard on yourself, or to be jealous of others. In these moments, let yourself relax, make some tea or coffee, draw a nice bath, try and let go of those emotions and come back to drawing later.

>"How do I become interested in what others are saying?"
This seems to be common in work situations. Try to at least conduct yourself in a way to be liked, things will be easier for you that way. Think about how you can become interested in what it is they're talking about. Think about things you can say that will make them happy, or make them laugh. Okayu's always happy when she looks at tweets or comments saying how much they love her streams; try to make people feel like that. People want to make Okayu laugh? The comments make her laugh every stream; the onigiryaa are funny.

>"How to not feel jealous of those with talent?"
A lot of questions like this today. It can be easy to feel jealous of those who are better than you even if it seems like they're not giving as much effort. Try to visualize them as people, and see what kind of life makes them so good at what they are. Look at their tweets, see what they do, what they eat, and realize that they're just people too. They're probably putting in a lot of effort that you don't see, so there's no reason to be jealous of that talent. Analyze exactly what you're jealous of, because that's probably what you need to work on. Okayu often talks about being jealous of how funny Korosan is, but she also tries to look at what exactly makes her so funny each time, and tries to work on that. Make sure you realize those things you're jealous of are things that you too are capable of doing; believe in that. Don't give up. Fall seven times, get up eight.
