また頑張ってる

Lately, with so many life changes it caused all the things I've been burying deep down to all come seeping out...

I genuinely love studying languages, but my heart just hasn't been in it. Delayed grief, stress, depression, and all the other little things that have piled up over a short time caused me to lose motivation.

Honestly, my heart still hurts. I'm still angry and some days my heart is broken, but the Lord is holding me together. His peace is covering me and I'm taking comfort in that.

詩編 147:3 新共同訳

[3] 打ち砕かれた心の人々を癒し その傷を包んでくださる。

Psalms 147:3 BSB

[3] He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

So today I feel like engaging with my target languages again. 🥰 This is a book my friend and fellow language learner got me for my birthday. Seems like it's a supernatural mystery.

Most of the words, kanji, and grammar I don't know, but that's not the point. The point is to simply get lost in what I love doing all over again.

And I plan to do that page by page.
