yesterday I was almost convinced that Marine would be a next president after reading NYT. Because I can't believe any of predictions of media, anymore. Today, I feel a bit better, it is like the world is giving us a little space to live.

@isaokato welcome!

There are multiple things like that, like the writing prompts bot @WritingPrompts :)

I looked inside my mind and found a deep-seated anger, hatred, and fear against the Japanese community, the society I could never assimilate myself into as a kid returning from overseas. If Japan was a big brother who posed challenges to me, I might have had a better story. Instead, Japan acted as if I never existed in the first place. Everywhere there were rules written by an ink visible to everyone but me. It was profoundly dis-empowering. "I am not supposed to be here" that was how I felt.

All right, I think I can just shout out my feelings about my birthplace, Japan. For a long time I thought I needed to help them out in some ways through Twitter, such as providing authentic information on world affairs, introducing stress-free lifestyle outside Japan, etc. But the truth is, I never had a strong motivation to do so, even though I kept telling myself I could do something.

So here I am in Mastodon, led by my friend's suggestion. It is a totally different feeling from Twitter where you can just write out of your brain without "optimizing" your sentences. Raw, natural, uncensored talk. Can a "Mastodon novel/haiku/poem" be a thing? And yet, I still have 200 characters left...
