for now.

A dear friend reminded me that this blog existed. So here I am, again, for now.

I  am no longer a college student living in Tokyo.  I have since transplanted myself to Kansas City, MO -- for anyone keeping track.  I don’t wear yellow sweatshirts anymore. I don’t wear sweatshirts anymore.  I am trying refine myself, my wardrobe included.  Maybe I will keep at least one yellow sweatshirt in the closet, for sentimental reasons.  Mari Kondo would approve.

Instead, I go hiking in heels. Given that this is my third time doing so, I have decided this is a thing now.  I don’t mean that it should be the new health craze, but wearing heels is fun and I refuse to let them impede my ability to enjoy a stroll in the woods.

On today’s hike, there was a lovely sense of security following the pre-marked muddy path.  Given more time on those paths, I would love to wander off of them and would feel more comfortable walking closer to the mossy tree trunks.  I also realized I had never done anything so risky as getting lost in the woods as a child.  That probably contributes a lot to my anxiety as an adult, but that’s something to unpack another day.
