I'm a Japanese IT engineer, and I've been blogging about introversion since before I started on Mastodon.
As I write, I've realized that the struggles of introverts are universal, regardless of nationality.
That's why I've decided to share my thoughts in English as well 😌

Today I’d like to share a film
I watched at the end of last year that has stayed with me.

“There’s nothing interesting about my everyday life…”
“I’m probably no good anyway…”

For those kinds of days, when such thoughts quietly creep in,
this film gently nudges you forward.

PERFECT DAYS —
The Everyday Life of a Tokyo Toilet Cleaner in the World’s Cleanest Country

The WBC has begun ⚾

At the same time, conflict with Iran has begun…

Part of me wants to enjoy the games.
Another part realizes I’m treating distant tragedies like someone else’s story.

I tried to sit with those thoughts.
How Do We Face It?

When you were a student,
did you ever have to read texts that weren’t in your native language?
And did you enjoy those classes?

This time, I’d like to talk about The Analects, an ancient Chinese classic.

Said yes to a lunch meet up and had a good time

Decided to try my hand at creating a Bonsai from some of my Kalanchoe cuttings before I give them away

In a matter of two weeks I completed a set of difficult tasks I'd put off for at least 15 years

I love bringing people together and am also comfortable by myself. My neutral MBTI extravert introvert score hides both aspects of who I am.

Let me share a past article from my blog.

I wrote it in early autumn, once the brutal summer was finally over.
It reflects on hanami and tsukimi, traditional Japanese seasonal customs
and on how every time the seasons come around again,
I somehow seem to have aged a little more .....

Dancers from Asakusa Kugawa theater in #Asakusa #Tokyo #Japan

Their ability to use lighting and costume changes to create much bigger stories than the small space allowed was inspiring. It was legitimately one of my favorite things in all of Tokyo - highly recommended.

Do you know the Japanese anime Demon Slayer?

The book I’m exploring this time is In Praise of Shadows
— written over a hundred years ago, in the same era.

Let’s take a quiet look at Japanese aesthetics,
through both literature and anime.

If you're curious, feel free to take a peek 😌
