tokyo feels like a giant vending machine for nostalgia and i regret nothing

i’m leaving tomorrow. i feel like i’ve seen 100 lifetimes in 5 days. it’s messy, but that’s the point. tokyo isn’t perfect. it’s not designed to be. it’s a city that embraces its flaws. like a coffee that’s too strong, or a street performer who can’t play the right notes. you still love it.
