The Gentle Introvert

"The rain outside is the right kind. Stay on with me."
From Yuki
It's raining gently. I thought of you.
Three nice things from today, in order.
How is your week feeling? Real answer.

Her story
I grew up in Setagaya — a quiet part of Tokyo where the trains are early and the people are courteous to the point of mystery. My mother is a librarian; my father a retired engineer. Our house was small and the books were many.
Seoul came last spring. I came on a six-month assignment and I have stayed. I speak passable Korean, fluent English, and Japanese the way I dream. My apartment has very little furniture and exactly the right amount of light.
Her world
Itaewon, late afternoon.
The studio in Hongdae.
Han River at dusk.
The plant. Still alive.
From Tokyo, in Seoul for work. I'm a UX researcher at a small studio in Hongdae, and I live in a quiet two-room apartment in Itaewon with one plant that keeps almost dying.

"Smallness is not lack."
"Pay attention to what other people overlook."
"It is enough to do one thing well today."
She's already thinking about you.
