i learned a lot about the japanese culture but also just gained an overall perspective to the whole concept we lightly describe as homelessness. it’s upsetting that no matter how much sympathy you feel for the characters you still will judge it when you see it in real life. makes one feel quite guilty but again it’s not about me.
