  ➔ The て form + いる indicates an ongoing state or the result of an action, emphasizing the current condition.

• 自分のままで生きさせて

  ➔ causative form + させて (to let/make someone do something)

  ➔ The causative form + させて means 'to let' or 'to make someone do something,' expressing permission or forcing.

• 努力は実りづらいが

  ➔ 付帯条件を表す が(でも、しかし) (but)

  ➔ The particle が is used here to contrast or introduce a concession, meaning 'although effort is hard to bear, ...'.

• きっと人生は素晴らしい

  ➔ コ品詞 + は (topic particle) + しろい形容詞

  ➔ The particle は marks the topic of the sentence, emphasizing 'life' as the subject, with the adjective 素晴らしい describing it as wonderful.

• いいんだ 下を見ないで

  ➔ 普通形 + んだ (explanatory or emphasis)

  ➔ The phrase いいんだ expresses that 'it's okay' or 'you should,' with んだ providing explanatory nuance, and the verb 見ないで is the negative te-form of 見る, meaning 'not to look.'

• 僕は僕だと

  ➔ XはYだと (quotative particle + と indicating cited content or thought)

  ➔ The phrase XはYだと uses と to quote or report the speaker's own belief or affirmation, e.g., 'I am myself.'
