I find myself wanting to talk about my life way less than I did before. I don't like sharing as much as I used to, it seems. I still come back here from time and time and as I was scrolling through this blog the other night, I can't believe it's been 5 years since I've started writing in here. The only thing I actually miss about writing is when I write about gems that I've found that really inspired me.
Life has been good to me this year. I hardly have time to myself anymore, so when I do, I like to just be home in Tokyo. Doodle, sketch, write, listen to good music, cook and just be on my own. It's been a while since I've had a couple of days to myself.
I've been really productive with work and I have to go on shoots again soon.
One thing I'll like to share though was that the convention in September was a good start for me. I didn't expect to receive that much support and people were genuinely nice to me. I guess this was what I was missing when I was living in Singapore, a positive environment. It's too late now to move back.
Speaking of moving, I'll be moving out of my Tachikawa apartment soon and it just hit me that by March 2018, it will be 3 years since I've lived in this cozy apartment. As much as I really love my home, I feel like my life is moving forward and changing and I'm ready for the next chapter in my life. Though I won't be living in Tokyo anymore, I'll still be nearby so I hope to come back as much as I can.
This week has been eventful, in just a week - actually in just 5 days, I got to see all my favorite Japanese bands. lynch. , Crystal Lake and THE NOVEMBERS.
It's been a while since I've seen other bands. As much as I love lynch. , I need a break from them too and I feel like that is the reason why I've started listening to Dir En Grey so often. It's not a replacement because no one can ever replace lynch. , but I've been around them so much, I just need something else before I go insane. At their Osaka show, I got so bored, I was actually staring at the backdrop and the ceiling instead of the band. :/ Sorry.
Going to see Crystal Lake again felt really nostalgic for me but so much has changed in a year for them that the reason why I loved them so much in the first place is no longer there, so I don't need to see them anymore. Seeing THE NOVEMBERS again was an entirely different story, I haven't lost myself in music for such a long time, it felt so good to see them again. I finally got to see them play my favorite song dysphoria in full this time. I should really go check out new bands but I'm always going back and forth Nagoya and Tokyo now, it's almost impossible to.
Tomorrow I'm going to see my friends' band play and next Sunday too. Finally.
Some friends that I haven't seen in years are back in Tokyo and I can't wait to meet them too.
It's nice to have time to myself like this, sometimes.
December looks crazy again, life.
My life has gotten so crazy since I've met you.
