Happiness Journal 1/1/25

Today is Japanese New Year, so my family and I went to the nearby temple to pray for a smooth year ahead. It is also when the national retirement annuity fund in my country announces the interest I garnered for the whole of last year. Don’t shit on me, okay. This scheme is compulsory. The money is automatically deducted from my salary every month, in fact. Anyway, I gain a satisfying amount of interest, so I feel energised to take on 2025!
