Hello. It's noon in Japan. The weather is fine and comfortable. Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I tried playing pachinko by myself. I spent 15,000 yen in Japanese yen, but in the end I hit the jackpot and came home with 4,000 yen, juice and snacks. I was bewildered by the unfamiliarity of the machine and had to rely on the staff a lot, but it was fun because I learned a new way to spend my time alone. I'm not good at gambling to begin with, I even lose at rock-paper-scissors, so I don't usually do it. But yesterday, I didn't feel like going home alone, so I took a detour to distract myself. I'm nervous, but I'll try it again when I have time. If I keep focusing on the things I don't like, I won't be able to notice the little pleasures and joyful things that I do every day. I will always try to keep an open mind, believe in the possibilities, and stay positive. I wish you all good things. Please take care of yourself.
