two of my most important takeaways from what I've learned today in the self-development realm is ' accepting, holistically, that you have needs ' & ' trying to access both sides of your experience of the world '. I apologise in advance if my expla » Continue Reading
雪の風、 | a wind made of snow- 笛は飛ぶ鳥 | my flute is a flying bird, 凛の空に。 | in this frigid sky. 絹は羽なら | if silk could turn to feathers, 翻り散る。 | I would flutter, and disperse. » Continue Reading
in a literal sense, I'm referring to this mashup of azealia banks' '1991' with the vocals of 'roman's revenge' by nicki minaj. it sounds so goooood !!!! I'm trying to let myself enjoy the things that I really love, after all the stress I've been through within the past month. I found out about the non-azealia vocal version through You guessed it: a tiktok s » Continue Reading
hello again! I've been thinking lately about how geimaiko-san look after their skin, & wish to apply that curiosity to help myself & others take better care of their skin, too. I've struggled with acne for a long time & am looking for a way to treat it that is soothing to both my skin & my soul. it's always my priority to be true to myself, which includes being selective about what I engage with, ... » Continue Reading
hi friends!! :3c with the stressful & tricky fortnight I've been having, I gladly took the opportunity to take today off, & I'm very glad that I did so, because I've had a wonderful day so far! so wonderful that I want to remember this for more than ten days- which is why this is a blog post, rather than a bulletin. despite technically being a school day, I'm totally treating it like I've been giv... » Continue Reading
this time I was on the japan trip again, extremely bored & fed up because for the past 3 or so days we'd hardly done anything. this was because the teachers were having to look after sick kids, or were sick themselves, or apparently just going haywire. I got so sick of being in the hotel room that I snuck out (& I KNEW the teachers would be furious with me) to see my mum, who was also in japan? ju... » Continue Reading
newly tasting the hot and cold of breakfast, welcoming in the satisfaction- there's a magpie outside the kitchen window, aerating the neighbour's front garden with its beak in the search of bugs. it stops to itch itself on the neck. then goes back to plodding along. pecking. this bird seems to know something I don't. it brings light upon the world just by doing what it was brought here for, stayin... » Continue Reading
I of all people know the pain of love. I have kneeled on so many floors that my knees have become numb, does it really matter if it's from the scrubbing, or the entertaining? the pleasuring? either way I am sore. what do you have to tell me that I haven't already heard under this wide white moon? do you have anything to offer me that is not of my own expense? the beautiful silk you paid » Continue Reading
よいお年を! (wishing you a good coming year!) you all know by now that I'm a total dreams enthusiast. I believe that we're shown things in our dreams for a purpose, & I love trying to figure out what that purpose is. I also try to influence my dreams through my headspace & environment before sleep (though have never gone so far as to attempt shifting or lucid dreaming). it turns out that the japanese a... » Continue Reading
welcome back to another episode of "spacehey user kitkatanddog fails to beat the kasuga-taisha obsessed allegations". sometimes I feel bad for posting about it almost exclusively- but I swear I'm trying to write other blog posts too! maybe this post will offer some background, alongside the foreshadowing of my first wisteria blog post. I'm really missing japan tonight, & the feeling of walking aro... » Continue Reading
「 目撃 」 how atmospheric... oh nara, how I miss you every day. thank you for the fuji kamon pin- you know how much it meant to me. 藤原の神社で祈り出来た事をよく考えて、随喜なの。神様はきっと聞いたと信じ切るよ。 ... I've been reading about miko-san ('shrine maidens'; women who carry o » Continue Reading
hiya friends ! I was on a bit of a spring cleaning kick this weekend & managed to take out some old clothing that I was unreasonably attached to from my closet for donation. I'm also working on donating my formal dress to a charity that provides disadvantaged young people with the clothing that they need in order to attend their school formals. I seem to have racked up some good karma in doing so... » Continue Reading
