Canon's Diary
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.

I woke up around 7 a.m. and, still half-asleep, opened my computer and said to my AI: “Good morning. I barely managed to get about six hours of sleep last night. I also had a soak in the bath yesterday, so I’m not feeling too sluggish. The curtains are still closed. I’ll probably need another…

“Check-out, please,” I said to the woman at the front desk. Since I’d already paid by card, all I had to do was hand back the key.“I’ll be back next week,” I added briefly. Caught off guard, she looked slightly confused but replied, “Oh, yes, of course.”It was the last day of a four-night stay.…

Following President Trump’s partial 90-day postponement of mutual tariffs on various countries, the New York Stock Exchange soared by 2,962 USD yesterday—marking the highest one-day gain in history. The global economy and international community are thrown into turmoil by the actions of a single individual. Watching ABC News, I can’t help but notice how few…

As usual, I wake up at 6:30 in the morning. According to my smartwatch, I slept for 7 hours and 45 minutes, and my BodyEnergy level has recovered to 50. Looks like I slept well. I open the curtains and let the morning sun in. Outside the window, I can see trains crossing the Kyoto…

This week, I booked a hotel in Ibaraki, two stations away from Settsu-Tonda, the nearest station to my office. It’s more convenient than going through Shin-Osaka, giving me a little more breathing room in the mornings. I reserved the room for four consecutive nights, so I only needed to carry my business bag, leaving the…

I woke up at six in the morning. I’d gone to bed after midnight the night before, so I didn’t get quite enough sleep. Still, thanks to a proper bath, I didn’t feel too worn out. I couldn’t see the weather outside, but judging from the light seeping through the curtains, I could guess it…

It was sunny, but this is the kind of season where it’s hard to decide what to wear. You could say it’s cold, or you could say it’s warm. In the morning, I turned on the heater in the room, but as I got into unpacking after our move, I warmed up quickly and turned…

Saturday. The sky is partly cloudy, but patches of blue peek through. After waking up, I had breakfast and washed my hair, then rode my motorbike to the tennis court for practice. As I approached the cherry blossom-lined road along the Onda River, I found the trees in full bloom, bustling with onlookers.I could faintly…

Friday, the sky was overcast. When I left the hotel in the morning, the asphalt was wet. It might have rained a little last night. As usual, I had breakfast at the convenience store in the station before heading to work. I attended a joint meeting with the sales department to align on the sales…

I have been thinking about how to expand my connections with society. Based on my experiences, I feel that expanding my network in the world of hobbies (in my case, among my tennis friends) and expanding my network among work colleagues require completely different approaches. The former is relatively easier. Tennis enthusiasts naturally share common…
