Who else is listening to Mutt by Leon Thomas?

June always brings back memories. It’s the month I came back to Tokyo after college. So much has happened since then, and every time I’m at the airport, I remember coming home that month and getting picked up by my parents.

I’m also excited. This summer feels like it’s about to open up. I don’t have any concrete travel plans yet, but a few ideas are floating around. I think they’ll come together soon ☀️

The other day, I visited a shrine. It’s something I do when I go for a walk, and it really cleared my mind 🩵

I walked quietly, and phones were pointing like I was part of some display 😅

When I stepped beyond the gate, the air shifted—and for a moment, everything got so still. I couldn’t feel the summer heat anymore.

It was beautiful in a way I can’t quite describe. And the scent of incense and old wood filled the air.
