Little by Little

I’m back, and little by little, I want to try to make this a habit. I have so many stories and experiences that I need a place to write them all out. Funny, sad or strange. I know most people these days do not read, and I am sure not many will find this and read my stuff. That’s okay, because it simply me trying to kick my own butt into the habit of writing, again. I will tell a short anecdote…

2024

It’s me, again. I know I haven’t written or updated this page. Life kind of threw me in a blender back in 2019. Now, I’m finally out and trying to put myself back together. I hope I can write about my stories and experiences of leaving Japan, moving to South Korea, and now working my way back to Japan. Stayed tuned – The TravelingStrawberry

I am worth it

I have love to give.

I should be giving it to myself, not others.

I am valuable.

I don’t really value myself or my body or my thoughts.

I am important.

I wish I was important to me.

I am worth it.

I’m worth the risk and the danger. I’m worth your time and your space. I’m worthy of being alive.

I’m worth it.

I knew I shouldn’t be in a relationship.

I knew deep down I wasn’t ready. I knew this 2 years ago and I am reminded again why.

My self confidence is so low, that it’s hard for me to believe that I’m lovable. How am I lovable when so many people come into my life only to leave. I wonder always, if it’s me. Something I said. Something I did. How I walk? My accent?

See? Because I assume it was me that made them run away, block me, ghost me, or never talk to me, is the reason I shouldn’t be in a relationship. I haven’t learned the most important lesson of all.

“Ignore the bad things from the people who you care about. It’s not always your fault.” I assume it is, because I always thought it was my fault in the past.

Cherry blossoms along the Meguro River in Tokyo’s Nakameguro neighborhood today. They still aren’t allowing hanami parties this year, but the Tokyo COVID lockdowns have ended, people are out having fun, and things are finally returning to normal.
