Winter is always such a melancholic time for me, especially these days. Last year at around this time I was living in Japan and staying in Tokyo during this exact period of time and felt a bit sad about not being able to spend time with family...yet here I am a year later watching this video, feeling sad because I miss being in Japan during this time lol. I have no idea why, maybe it's because everything in Japan seems to slow down in December even more than over here where I live now. Not gonna lie, the snowy mountains, the music choice and overall vibes of this video made me tear up a bit haha. Thank you for the vlogmas and I hope you have a great Christmas!
