    Thank you for finding this video.<br><br>This was my 7th day after moving from Tokyo to Nagoya.<br><br>I was still getting used to the room, the city, and the silence.<br><br>At that time, I did not know if I could really start over.<br>I only knew I needed a place where no one knew my name.<br><br>I’m still figuring things out, one quiet day at a time.<br><br>Thank you for being here.<br><br>YURI

    You’ve got this! It seems you speak English well and also speak Japanese. Why not consider teaching people? Many people are eager to learn Japanese these days. I’m currently learning Japanese on a website called Preply, so who knows? Maybe you could start teaching Japanese and even get paid for it. I hope that helps! Just remember, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, even if it seems like a tiny speck right now. There’s something waiting for you on the other side.

    Yuri, 30 is still young! Starting over takes courage, and you already have that. Don&apos;t lose hope—new opportunities, new friendships, and new blessings can come when least expected. Wishing you strength and happiness as you begin this new chapter. 🌸🙏

    Although stemming from different reasons, we share the same feelings. Trying to stand alone like a hero is very difficult. The only thing we can do is believe in ourselves, look forward, and never give up.

    I&apos;m 70 now, been alone for fifteen years. I&apos;m often deeply sad, but I&apos;m used to it now, I find great joy in solitude

    &quot;Today wasn&apos;t a special day&quot; Yes, very special, you are young, healthy, have a roof and meal. &nbsp;This phase will soon be over and there will be better times ahead. &nbsp;日本語: 気をつけてね

    It never gets easy, but it always gets better. Turning 56, widower, trying to figure out life. I try to return to Japan each year, as each time I discover something of myself there. <br>Greatest success and find serenity in the small things. And trust me, getting out of the house, even a small walk, is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

    You seem so sad. I am too for different reasons. &nbsp;My heart goes out to you. Best wishes.
