I’m so glad that you had an awesome time in Tokyo!
“Less downplaying wins, canceling fun plans with myself, and yucking my yum.” THIS.
I submitted my dissertation a little less than two weeks ago and will be defending it next Friday. It feels surreal, but also rather anti-climactic. The past two weeks of resting and taking a break has been extremely difficult for me. Admittedly, I feel guilty for taking breaks (especially since I work and am in grad school). It’s as if I’m conditioned to only work and not rest (in addition to my nightly sleep). So, I needed the reminder of taking my care and rest (breaks for making time for adventure) more seriously.
So, to answer your prompt, I am allowing myself more impromptu adventures and random phone calls to friends. ♥️ Oh, and I started making my own boba drinks at home (cheap and so much fun)!
Yoooo, I'm so proud of you! It's right around the corner. I hope you're soaking this moment...these moments in. Sending you the sweetest vibes for this Friday!
And YES to homemade boba. Drop the recipe in the thread, please.
Konnichiwa from Kyoto, Japan! Love the way you so beautifully & aptly capture the culture of care here. And love the idea of creative accountability buddies! Thank you for the inspiration.

Konnichia, Katerina! Thank you for the kind words. It was such a beautiful time. What a special place. I'm still in awe.
