Today’s word is
わすれもの
wasuremono
something forgotten.
I’ve decided. I’m going to leave parts of myself all over the world. Not visceral parts of myself, just, you know, books, and shirts, and the like. I might even leave them in random locations in haphazard ways. Some of these items I might intentionally lose. You know, sometimes, it’s easier to let go of something if it just happens to get lost, it’s easier than holding back the tears and cringing as you thrust it upon a typically unenthused beneficiary. So yes. I might casually forget jackets in cafes and not go back. Or lend pens or bracelets with abandon. Hopefully these pieces get to travel as much as I have these past few years. Not to say I was there, per se, but to say, hey, we were there, together.
