Nessa, forgive me. I'm commenting long before finishing your podcast. I am struck by your mention of sticking out like a sore thumb (under your second selfie). Nessa, my dear, you don't standout like a sore thumb. You stand out like who your are: A nature-loving beautiful sensitive creature. You stand out like a unique one-of-a kind loving, lovable, and loved individual, because that's who you are.
My dear friend (and my oldest and hence wisest reader), thank you for the rush of the kind words and display of your love. I love you right back and feel happy to know you.
In Japan there is a lot of conformity so it is even harder to blend in (especially with my kind of features). I hope not to garner pity from readers. I hope it does not read that way. I hope it reads more empowering. Recently I tell people that I never fit in and that is my best trait. Thank goodness I don't fit in! It took me some time to genuinely and deeply reach that point though. Thanks as usual for your support and for sharing your age-old wisdom with readers.
