It started as a way to share my life in Japan with my loved ones in the U.S. Now it's an open space to share thoughts, rants, and blatant sarcasm. As I fumble through life, "learning how" to do a myriad of things, big and small, I hope to make people think or smile, or maybe both.

shared life
I worry that no one I know will actually want to do life the ways I would like to do life. I don't want the American Dream and the independent self-sufficiency that comes with it. I want community, interdependence, cooperation, common goals, common visions, common space and common meals. I want housemates. I want neighbors. I want community to be real, alive, vital. I want community to be intricately woven into my very existence. I don't want to own a single family home. I don't even want a "single family." I want to share life.
