Action without thought is empty; thought without action is blind – Goethe
While living with schizophrenia, I move between Tokyo and Osaka. Through this journal, I hope to quietly share moments from my daily life—and memories from the journey I’ve taken with my illness.

This Friday, after work, I’m heading back to Tokyo.Since I plan to stay for a week, I wanted to use up the food in my fridge,so I had ramen last night. I topped it with corn, green onions, and a soft-boiled egg.There were also some frozen dumplings, so I pan-fried them.Still, having such a hearty…

Tuesday, June 17. Thanks to the overcast sky, the temperature feels lower than yesterday.Even so, I woke up feeling extremely thirsty and chugged a bottle of sparkling water straight from the fridge.I warmed up the cabbage soup I made yesterday and had it with a bowl of rice topped with raw egg.When I turned on…

Sunday, June 15.With the rainy season in full swing, I didn’t feel like going out yesterday, so I spent the day quietly at home. This morning, I got out of bed around 7 a.m. and took a shower. As I dried my hair and brushed my teeth, I stepped out onto the balcony to look…

Thursday night’s tennis lesson had been quite intense, so I really struggled through work on Friday, worn out and weary. I somehow managed to get everything done and made it home, only to fall asleep almost instantly from exhaustion. Then came Saturday morning—the weekend, at last. I woke up around 7 a.m. It was June…

Wednesday, June 12.I woke up at 6:30 this morning. When I opened the curtains, I was greeted by clear skies for the first time in a while. My smartwatch told me I’d slept for a full eight hours, and I felt refreshed. I was careful not to drink too much at last night’s dinner gathering,…

Tuesday, June 10. I woke up around 5:30 a.m. When I opened the curtains, I saw that it was raining. It seems that the Kinki region officially entered the rainy season yesterday. In Kyushu, there has been heavy rain, and warnings have been issued for potential landslides.“Why do I keep waking up so early?”I washed…

June 9th. Last night, I fell asleep in my chair until around 2 a.m.In a rush, I brushed my teeth, set my alarm, and went back to bed.However, I had set the wrong time and woke up at 5:30 a.m.I reset it for 6:30, but ended up half-awake, with a somewhat unpleasant feeling lingering.The sky…

Exhausted from last night’s tennis lesson, I slept soundly until 9:30.Being Sunday, the nearby construction site was quiet. It was a peaceful morning.I opened the curtains—it was cloudy but not as humid as yesterday.I washed my face with cold water, brushed my teeth, and had a simple breakfast of rice with raw egg and instant…

Saturday, June 7. I woke up at 8 a.m. to the clattering sound of a power shovel loading debris onto a truck and the grinding noise of someone shaving down a concrete wall with what seemed like a grinder, rebar and all. Not the most pleasant way to wake up. I was still tired from…

Friday, June 6th.I went to bed around 10 p.m. last night, so I ended up waking at about 4 in the morning. It seems my internal clock is set to six hours of sleep. I would really prefer to get at least seven hours, so I crawled back under the covers. Around 5 a.m., I…
