Identity: Thoughts from Tokyo
What’s on my mind? This is a question that I use to journal. Historically, the idea of journaling has been intimidating to me, but I’ve figured out how to make it work. With that telling meme said, what IS on my mind? In my journey towards becoming who I want to become, procrastination comes to…

30ish Days of Pushups – September 2023
For the month of September, I did pushups every day. The motivation for this challenge came largely from when I committed to planking daily in June 2022.

Musings From The Road AKA Paris
I found the following notes scribbled down from a few moments this summer and wanted to process them more. They might resonate with you too.

My First Trail Running Race
A couple weeks ago I ran in my first trail running race. It was the Okumusashi 35km Trail Running Race; an hour outside of the Tokyo city center starting and ending in a town called Hanno. Since early 2021, I’ve been an off and on trail runner. I usually run solo or with a single…

Getting Settled in Ebisu
I’m sitting in a café in Yutenji, the neighborhood where I spent the first four months of my life. At one point in my life, this neighborhood is all I knew. That was a long time ago; this place feels completely foreign. I’ll write for a bit now and then once the caffeine from this…
