Greetings from Joyce ~ Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone.
I hope you were able to visit a shrine like I did. The Meiji Jingu Shrine in Shibuya, Tokyo was very nice. It felt like a quiet escape in the middle of a busy city! It reminded me that no matter how hectic life may get, it's important to take a step back and relax every once in a while as well as reflect on experiences we have gone through.
This year, I pray for good health, guidance, and strength.
2025 challenged me to become a better version of myself and learn things from scratch. I have learned what it means to become independent and do things alone. It was very lonely at first, but I am now slowly starting to enjoy it a little. Each day is an opportunity to learn something new and explore places I have never been to. It also gave me fresh perspectives and fun experiences, thanks to you! I am beyond grateful for the interesting stories and wisdom you have all shared with me -- I feel that I am now wiser.
This year, I hope I can share more unforgettable moments with everyone. Let's face 2026 together and learn more English!
Fighting!
