1 week ago it snowed in a wide area of Japan. Also in Sendai, we had about 5-10 cm snowfall.
Last Sunday it was not safe to go out by bike, because even on a relatively wide road was hard packed snow. This week snow on major roads have thawed while that of most sidewalks and small paths remain piled. I road my bike for the first time in February. I was reluctant because I was in low spirit with daily stress, but I went out anyway with minimum prepare, with my coat, helmet, glove and binding shoes, instead of I change clothes to wear more suitable. Cycling for the first time in 2 week released much of my stress. It was really good that I had a chance to pedal over and over again, and had a place where I don't bother anyone while I shout out loud expressing my mental distress these days. After all I don't want to attack anyone, but at the same time I have to cope with screams echoing within my head, and if I had carelessly released them on a train on weekdays, I could have been carried to hospital by ambulance.

Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
