i don’t get why people think that just because a mixed japanese person grew up overseas means they’re any less. my mom didn’t speak english to me, we watched japanese tv, ate japanese food every day, did all the holidays, japanese school every saturday…

hi everyone. my obaachan passed away a few days ago. i guess i’m hoping that sharing here helps me process because it doesn’t feel real. i sort of thought she’d live forever. she was the last of 8 siblings. i hope she’s resting peacefully now.

…and i spent every summer in osaka. of course it’s not the same as growing up here but it’s not nothing. and some people might not experience this much degree of their parents’ culture but that doesn’t mean it’s true for everyone

i’ve never admitted this because i felt gross but i really struggle with showering and washing dishes when i’m depressed. it’s helped me a lot to know that i’m not the only one out there so i thought i’d share. i hope you’re all holding up okay.

i don’t appreciate being treated like i don’t belong here, esp when the only reason i don’t have citizenship anymore is that japan won’t let us have more than one. i don’t see why residents should be treated as foreigners at all

i met my now-fiancé 3 years ago today. it was also a strangely warm day for february back then, which is partly why we happened to be at yoyogi koen at the same time. kinda makes me hope that there are new couples being formed today too 💘
