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.

On the morning of April 25th, the moving company will arrive to collect my belongings. There isn’t much, so I expect it’ll take less than an hour to load everything into the truck. Once my things are sent off, I’ll depart for Osaka on my motorcycle. Riding all the way in one go would be…

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…

This week, I booked a hotel in Ibaraki, two stations away from Settsu-Tonda, the nearest station to my office.

I asked, “Do you want me to take you by car?” but he replied, “I’ll take a taxi.” In March of last year, my father was hospitalized in an emergency due to severe abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with duodenal papillary cancer.…

I already have a rice cooker, a washing machine, a microwave, and some unused tableware at home, so I’ll gather them all in one place. I’d also like to bring the unused tabletop grill for yakiniku if I get permission from my family. Other things I plan to take from home include… the brown color…

Last night, I was working on my PC at the table in my room, but at some point, I must have dozed off. I woke up at 2 AM, still sitting in my chair. Since I had already taken a shower after playing tennis, I went straight to bed, but I didn’t wake up feeling…
