Japan Trip 6

Previously.

Had another good trip to Japan from December 6th to January 9th. I didn't need to be gone so long, but I wanted to be available on the 7th for reasons. (An extra reason ended up being a tekken tournament I went to, which was cool.)

A bunch of day to day details are in my Happenings post so I'll just very briefly summarize some things here I guess.

It's probably over

Back home after a month trip (Japan Trip 6, will make a separate post later). It's so nice to be home.

It was a great trip. But at the end I did force myself to verify something I had been expecting and assuming for nearly 3 years (let's call it summer 2022) -- I kept finding reasons to add 9s to my 99.99...% certainty, I think I ended on 7 nines -- but it's good to have that final bit of clarity and kill any lingering doubt, hope, or ambiguity. It'll hopefully let me heal and move on.

But yeah, it's probably over, because of it... by that I mean I should probably back away from a lot of things once more, unfollow and unsubscribe to a lot of accounts, re-evaluate life, and close this recent chapter. Reminds me of my previous obsession with MLP. The start of this chapter is arguably my descent into watching a lot of vtubers, which I believe started sometime in 2019. By 2022 I was almost done, but since March 11th, 2022, I was brought back, at least for one vtuber in particular. But yeah, might be time to fade away...
