CURRENT MISSION

Master Japanese and survive Tokyo's concrete jungle

ABOUT ME

Currently spending my senior year in the concrete jungle of Tokyo, travelling back and forth between Hanoi and Tokyo.

Shoot me a text when you happen to be in either place, we may manage to hangout.

PHILOSOPHY

“Sometimes I have the feeling that what takes place is identical to what doesn’t take place, what we dismiss or allow to slip by us identical to what we accept and seize, what we experience identical to what we never try, and yet we spend our lives in a process of choosing and rejecting and selecting, in drawing a line to separate these identical things and make of our story a unique story that we can remember and that can be recounted, either now or at the end of time, and this be erased or swept away, the annulment of everything we are and do. We pour all our intelligence and our feelings and our enthusiasm into the task of discriminating between things that will all be made equal, if they haven’t already been, and that’s why we’re so full of regrets and lost opportunities, of confirmations and reaffirmations and opportunities grasped, when the truth is that nothing is affirmed and everything is constantly in the process of being lost.”

from ‘A Heart So White’ by Javier Marías
