I'm 55. When I Felt Lonely | Living Alone in Tokyo | 35㎡ Apartment

Hi, I'm Cherry. Welcome to Cherry's Solo Life in Japan. I've been enjoying my solo life in Tokyo since my divorce 15 years ago. Today, I'm talking about loneliness for the first time. I don't think loneliness or sadness are simply "bad" emotions. They're natural human emotions, but they can also be uncomfortable and complicated. In this video, I share the only time in my life when I felt truly lonely. It wasn't when I was living alone. That experience changed the way I think about being alone, taking care of myself, and appreciating the little things in everyday life. But don't worry. I'm 1000% fine now. 😎 My "loneliness antenna" has already been smashed and thrown away! Along the way, I share a Japanese lesson, make my original 5-minute fried rice, introduce Write to Cherry, and visit Imado Shrine in Tokyo, where I show some basic shrine etiquette. ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 Welcome to Cherry's Solo Life in Japan 0:52 Talking about loneliness for the first time 1:50 Feeling lonely when you're not alone 2:21 The wings I lost 3:19 Meeting Little Cherry 3:58 Finding my new wings 4:47 What I learned from that experience 5:45 "Compared with that, this is nothing!" 6:12 R2 gets a typhoon day off 🤖 6:54 My sad tears are out of stock 8:00 Teddy Blake Fall Sale 👜 9:09 Japanese Lesson: Itsumo 11:46 Easy 5-Minute Fried Rice 🍳 12:51 To anyone struggling right now 13:54 Write to Cherry 💻 14:36 Why I love my balcony at dusk now 14:56 An official order for everyone 📢 15:46 Visiting Imado Shrine ⛩️ 16:39 How to pray at a Japanese shrine 👜 Teddy Blake New York My Teddy Blake bag is handcrafted in Italy, and I've been using it all the time.
