Chapter 4: What challenges do they face in managing their busy schedules?
Well, because you could bond with her, you see, as well.
You can bond with her. Yeah, you know my mom's always down for like a little. Well, of course, because if I could fucking run a half marathon at the drop of a hat, I would be down too. I know. She's like, I haven't been running. And I'm like, girl, you're fine. You know that don't matter. You know that don't matter. I was like, girls. Exactly. I like that you noticed that.
Yeah, because she can run whenever she wants.
And so can you. And so can you.
Chapter 5: How do they navigate personal growth and self-acceptance?
Yeah. No, thanks for holding it down, guys. Like, I really appreciate that. Seriously. You know what I mean? Because it was serious. No, and honestly, like. Like, what's there to say?
You know what I'm saying?
What's there to say other than, like, I don't even know. Like, the... What I'll say on the Japan of it all is, like, one, I always say it. Y'all can't... Y'all... We think... Oh, now she has things to say. Number one, the United States thinks you're doing shit about shit. Baby, you ain't never done shit but nothing but shit for a minute. Okay?
Chapter 6: What are the implications of consumerism in different cultures?
You never done anything but shit for a minute because...
the shopping and then turns it into a shopping thing but i'm like genuinely like i always say that nobody does consumerism quite like japan in my experience i haven't been like everywhere around the world but like from the places i've been nowhere does consumerism like japan and it's just funny because i live in like apparently what the capitalist capital like we supposed to be like work for your and then you can have like maybe
baby yeah you go to japan girl and it's like the produce really sickening the produce is sickening i was telling the girls like i went during the i went during like strawberry season and like if you think you've ever had a strawberry i'm gonna tell you right now you ain't never had a strawberry data unless unless you have the privilege of like eating it from the farm you know i'm saying like tended from the farm and not going through like driscoll yeah like harry's
literally like the produce is just the produce is fresher the shopping is sickening fierce like the department stores like literally be like 10 stories tall it's like so as a girl who likes to go to the mall and like blackout it's just like what the hell we gonna do now but I will say that there is something because you know I grew up going to Japan which I'm like so grateful for and like because of that though
Even the difference, because I know we keep, well, I keep talking about the frontal cortex and how it genuinely like changes the chemistry of your brain and like everybody said it would and like I didn't believe anyone and like now I'm here and I'm like, whoa. The frontal cortex of last time I went to Japan, I probably bought like 50% of the stuff that I bought I never wore.
And it was just because like I went to the store and I'd be like, oh my God, I've never seen that. Buy it. This time, I genuinely felt like I was walking around with like a monocle and a clipboard. It was fucked up. Like I was feeling my age. Like I was walking around like, and if I can name five outfits this would go with right now, then I'll buy.
Well, and that's what I was gonna say. Oh, see, I love that.
Well, I hate that in the terms of like the whimsy of just going and being like a young hoe and like just buying everything, I love.

Chapter 7: What lessons did they learn about health and wellness?
But I do love it in the sense of like, it is showing the growth in like my frontal cortex and like, wow, okay.
Well, that's what I was going to say about, you know, when you get older and you kind of start thinking more about wiser, you start thinking about like a capsule closet.
Yeah.
Maybe you're like down to like spend a little more on like some quality pieces and stuff. Actually, I do. Because I feel like also that and the idea of like personal style. Yeah. It really comes down to that. Because I feel like as you're trying to like figure out your personal style and like,
as things progress like you do become a little more like picky choosy and like that's straight I don't know I think also too it's I think it's a really cool it's my it's one of my favorite quality about like people that I meet that have a really strong sense of personal style because I I think it is really easy to get so excited about like clothes and seeing pieces and
all of the above and stuff. And that's how I feel. Like sometimes I'll see something on someone or just on a rack and I'm like, fuck, that's so cute. And then I'm like, wait, hold on. It's just cute.

Chapter 8: How do they discuss the impact of societal expectations on self-image?
Hold on young ho. Yeah.
It's like, it's just cute.
Yeah. It's just like, let her be cute. And yeah, no, a hundred percent. But, but that is real. That's like sweet. Well, because I was gagged.
I was definitely gagged because I used to run around with a different... Even just two years ago, again, I guess you really do come in 25, 26, because even two years ago, I was buying things that it was like, girl, you don't even have pants to match. You're just buying it because it's like the ooh-ah-ah sensation, which there's something to that too. And if you're young, you know what I mean?
Let's just go ahead and run with that because eventually you do wake up and you're like, I can't even impulse like that anymore. That's crazy. But also... Just on like, I'm like, right. Just on like the 32nd, like thesis of it all. Like I actually experienced like a very fierce ego death in that country. I'm going to be honest.
Like, you know, we've been doing, we've been doing the one, two step, the run around. We've been work, work, work, grind, grind, grind. And also just, you know, being people who live in the States, I think we forget like how much. of like the grind and it's about grind. It's about power. Like we stay hungry.
We devour is perhaps like, um, not just like cultural, but something that is like, it's genuinely part of our every single day messaging. You know what I mean? And like, honestly, just like stepping away, for a week and not having that in my day to day and also experiencing something very different because you know, Japanese culture is just like very, very different.
And even just like King with my aunt, like, I'm so sorry. I love her so much. And like, she lives obviously a Japanese lifestyle and like, she's very,
slow, she's very, girl, she'd go to the grocery store, she'd pick up to her tree, she'd make it that night, she hangs up her laundry, her just way of living is so, I don't know why this is making me tear up, I just love her so much, but it's just so much slower and,
