Mindset, Motivation · January 7, 2024

an unfiltered voice memo for anyone else feeling stuck ๐Ÿค๐ŸŽ™๏ธ #motivation

The following is a voice memo that I initially recorded for myself while brainstorming ideas for a video. However, as I started speaking, it transformed into a deeply personal and unfiltered stream of consciousness.

I felt compelled to share this raw and vulnerable moment with you, without any edits or alterations, in the hope that it may resonate with those who have experienced similar emotions or insecurities.

By opening up and sharing my innermost thoughts, I hope to create a space where we can connect and support one another in our shared human experiences.

PSโ€”New โ€œJapan Travel Seriesโ€ videos & casual vlogs from home are coming soon. โœจ

Sharing is caring!

Most people donโ€™t know Aomori has its own Great Bu Most people donโ€™t know Aomori has its own Great Buddha โ€” and even fewer know you can actually walk inside it. ๐Ÿคฏ

The Shลwa Daibutsu at Seiryu-ji Temple stands at 21 meters tall, making it one of the largest bronze seated Buddha statues in Japan โ€” taller than both Kamakura and Nara. 

But the real hidden gem is the interior which houses a charming museum explaining Buddhist ideology and sayings, and with walls lined with Buddha figures.

It was unlike anything I expected and I left understanding so much more about Buddhism, one of Japanโ€™s most practiced religions. 

If Aomori is on your Japan itinerary, add this one to your list.

Hirosaki is known for its apples. But what happens Hirosaki is known for its apples. But what happens when you visit Hirosaki Apple Park outside of fall picking season? You eat as many apple things as humanly possible, apparently. ๐Ÿ˜…

The curry even had apple chunks in it. ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŒธย
