愛

A kanji, a memory and a fortune. My memories of ♏ will always be tied up with pudding. The first time we spoke online, I was eating pudding, alone, in a Cafe Renoir in Shinjuku.

Resolution

In 2023 I discovered that the most precious thing that you can have is peace of mind and no one is worth giving that up for. If someone consistently makes you feel awful about yourself, leave. It has been a relief to not be the scapegoat for everything that goes wrong.

Ghosts

How long overdue is this. Once again, I am the sailor. Goldmund era, I say.

Satellites

Deep in the throes of infatuation again. It never gets old, everytime it happens. I just wish I didn't find it so sticky.

叶う

It's hard to fully express what this year has meant to me. After spending almost a decade being kept at a tolerable level of permanent unhappiness, being constantly told that my needs and desires were irrelevant, that I was an extension of someone else, someone more important, I had to claw my way back to who I was. Who I am today.
