Now
I enjoy reading now pages so I decided to try to maintain one myself. I plan to update this page every couple of months, or whenever there is something I would like to share.
It's been a while since my last note; the main update in my life since then was going through family loss. I'm still in the process of bouncing back from the experience, and it has sparked some reflections on how I choose to live life.
Life in Japan continues to be challenging for different reasons: everything is extremely convenient and there is an infinite number of things one can do. However, it can also feel isolating at times, especially without being able to communicate in Japanese decently.
I'm in the process of reevaluating a lot of things at the moment. Maybe the next update will have more concrete information!

In October 2024, I moved to Tokyo.
Since then, my focus has been primarily on adapting to this new life: I do not speak any Japanese (although I am learning), so navigating everyday situations can be difficult at times. That said, I am excited about this challenge and trying to remind myself that this discomfort can be a great opportunity to learn and grow. While it is hard to predict how things are going to go, I have the feeling that I will be glad for having taken this step.
