i can no longer be who i wanted to be, which brings me so much heartbreak.

i wonder what to do moving forward, when it is all i've ever known?

i welcome back my matcha era.

with the onset of ai-generated images scraping the works of artists, friends and acquaintances alike, i start to fear my future.

my burnout is worsening, i think. the pressure from my family to earn more money is getting to me, too.

graduated from college after 7 years of enduring burnout. only one year was spent in-campus, and the rest was done online. i feel alone.

got a bad sunburn from climbing two mountains in kyoto and osaka. the pain was so worth it.

i was also able to get my hands on two cans of matcha powder despite the crazy matcha shortage.

baby's first severe panic attack! and it's the first time it lasted for over an hour...

matcha - chigi no shiro. good!

stuck in lockdown. i wonder how many years this will last.
