Technically a spring festival, but not quite yet warm enough for short sleeves. Through the crowd I amble, clutching my Daruma. What am I after? Wealth? Love? Health? Scholastic success??? I'd take any of those things at this point. 2023 was not kind to me, and 2024 is slow to bestow its blessings. So I bring my doll to the temple with just one wish: Give me SOMETHING. Give me some path, show me what I must do.
