FrankiieI can't even speak... WON.
Mid-August 2025, during Obon.
A passion project I had pursued with unyielding resolve for three solid years suddenly ground to a halt, crushed by an unforeseen chain of events.
It was a season when even the healthiest individuals see their energy and physical strength drained. Compounding the sauna-like humidity of the Japanese summer were record-breaking, consecutive days of abnormal heat, steadily grinding my body down. On top of that, problems began to pile up, growing heavier by the day.
The underlying vulnerabilities of my brain condition finally gave way, bringing everything to a total collapse.
In a single moment, the everyday life and routines I had built day by day were stripped away.
Completely depleted in both heart and body, crushed physically and mentally, I was reduced to nothing more than a hollow wreckage.
Yet, just two days after falling into utter powerlessness—I found myself standing at the summit of Mt. Takao.
Before me stretched a crystal-clear panorama, brushed by a soothing breeze.
A gentle mountain, beloved by everyone from young children to seniors, where anyone can hike with ease and enjoy the view.
"...Standing here right now, at this exact moment—it feels like a divine sign I was destined to receive."
In that forced pause, a miraculous space of stillness was born.
My mind and body were on the brink, but those three years were not in vain. I can still do a little.
Yes—"Rather than sitting still and waiting for demise, I shall step forward to forge a path to life."
I realized this week, dedicated to recovering from my injury, was the ultimate opportunity to immerse myself in creating blog articles—something I had longed to do but never had the time for.
The space I want to build in the digital world.
It was a space just like Mt. Takao.
A place where anyone can drop by effortlessly, enjoy the content, and find a moment of peaceful respite. That was, and always will be, the outward utopia I have been striving to create.
