This blog has become a disaster. I never write in it and I think I know why. Ever since I moved back to the US, I've been a little self conscious about carrying a blog. In Japan it wasn't a problem because 75 percent of my friends didn't speak English and therefore couldn't really read my blog and the other 25 percent could but either didn't care or cared a lot because I was living so far away. Now there's this whole stigma associated with the self-obsessed blogger who cannot help but send her thoughts out into the internet superhighway (as they once called it). Well, I'll just have to embrace that fact that I in fact am that girl.
I referred to my good friend and former art teacher, Naoko sensei, for some reassurance. Her blog is exactly what I want mine to be like. There's no theme, except for "perspectives" (i.e. she's an artist and perspective drawings are a foundation of art, but she is also writing about what ever she wants to because its her gosh darn perspective). I tried with the theme thing,but I think my studies and career are so full of one theme (urban planning) that writing about it on my free time would just tire me out. I was never one to be focused.
So this will continue to be as all over the place as it's always been.

Hey there, just wanted you to know that I'm still reading! And I agree, it's a vulnerable experience to put yourself out there, but I'm impressed with your resolve and your willingness to say what's on your mind, even if it's negative.
